Last night, when you called and asked if we needed anything from the store on you're way home I told you.

Do you remember what I said?

Is the phrase, "I am going to use the leftovers to make a sammich tomorrow and we are out of bread so pick up a loaf" too much for you?

When you called this morning and I ask you "where is the bread?" You tell me " Look on the second shelf in the fridge, all the makings are there."

I looked, and we have a "Failure to communicate."

I did not say I was going to make a "Wrap", what ever the fuck that is. I did not say I was going to make a "Pocket" either, so the "things" on that shelf will not help me.

I said "BREAD" because I was going to make a fucking "SAMMICH". Not a fucking WRAP, not a fucking POCKET, a fucking SAMMICH. Mad

Paybacks are a mother. I had Chilli. You get a "Dutch Oven" tonight.

There, I feel better.

I likes me a good sammich, and I completely feel you on the failure to communicate with the lady. I often wonder if it is intentional or what. . .

of course it's intentional. Next, she will be trying to stuff sprouts in your pie hole and serving you qwinch.

Remind her your pants have "pockets", and you "wrap" fish guts in newspaper...

Wraps are not sandwiches. Hell, "flatbread" sandwiches aren't sandwiches. Pockets? Who knows where they fit in.

Are you married? For how long?

Haven't you figured out, that if you really want something, get it yourself?

Yes. First time was 9 years (I got time off for bad behavior) About to make 9 on this sentence.

I won't drive all the way to town for a loaf of bread. Gotta save the environment don'tcha know?

Ah, I see.

But if you're on the second sortie, wouldn't you know that bickering over a loaf of bread is ludicrous?

What if bickering is the only thing you do as a couple?

I just worry that when I say "Bring me more .308 ammo-quick" she is going to bring me buckshot--and I hate it when that happens.

If bickering is all you do as a couple, that seems a bit sad to me. Bickering has a very low blowjob quotient.

I look at Marriage as a continuous renovation contract. Where the division of labor is equal, and both parties are skilled.

Meaning, you do everything you can, and don't ask for more help than you really need.

On a jobsite, you don't send a skilled workman for coffee. If there are only two of you, the one who wants coffee goes. Otherwise, you tough it out.

Be smart, and choose something actually relevant to bring as a problem to your wife. If you can't get your own damn bread, you've got problems beyond marriage.

That's some funny shit, Countrygun! Big Grin
Yeah guys, my blowjob quotient is way down. I tend to play too many jokes on the poor wifey. She never thinks it's as funny as I do...


..................................................................................................................
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor - he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation - he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city - he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. ∑ Cicero, 42 B.C.

Well it's not like you TOLD her to GO to the store and buy you a loaf of bread. She called and asked you if you needed anything picked up. It would piss me off because if her intent was to just disregard your request, because after all, she did offer, I would have appreciated the option of going and getting it myself so I had what "I" wanted to make my lunch. And I do, and always have, made my own lunch, because it's MY fucking lunch.

So, my take is, I would be frustrated only because she didn't pick it up for you, after making the offer, and didn't tell you she didn't pick it up. Not a marriage breaker, but I would have expressed my discontent. Actually, I like wraps and pockets so not the end of the world for me, but that's not that point. She should have told you she forgot, didn't have time, it was to busy there, whatever, heads up I'm sure would have been appreciated.


Now go tell her you still love her and you wanna play hide the wiener, but get rid of that chili first. Big Grin

Not like it was the worst thing in the world but like you said she asked. And then ignored what I wanted and got the other shit.

Big +1 on Arc's "insights" ... countrygun, it may be time to "re-assess" your current "choice of chicks" ... consider "de-coupling" much?

Life's too fuckin' short, and so on ... Just sayin'... Wink

BTW

Back when it was still an issue, could you imagine what would have happened to my sorry ass, if she had asked me to pick up Maxi-Pads and I brought Tampons instead?

You're comparing a loaf of bread to a woman on her periodicals?

You are lost.

Staying married = picking your battles.

I wouldn't start a fight over bread, she will never forget it.

An opinion without personal experience is just wishful thinking.
