What do you do that you don't understand how your SO can tolerate?

I just texted him telling him that I crop dusted the neighboring lab. He responded that I was amazing.

I'm glad he's ok with the fact that I am not ladylike in the least bit.

 

QW doesn't trust leaving any financial info on the computer. She has a pile of ledgers, planners and binders. I've given her a couple of thumb drives, but she would rather spend hours writing things down and, eventually, filing them.

 

I can understand this to a point and if it goes into the safe then it wouldn't bother me since I wouldn't be able to see it. It's when stacks of paper or stupid shit ends up in totally random places that gets me. Like when I pulled down the visor in my car and 2 pieces of junk mail fell into my lap.

 

Are you challenging me to a dutch oven combat? Because you know your children will be deformed after I'm done right?

 

Broccoli farts forgot about those.

 

No, those are pretty much unforgettable. Add some cabbage.

I highly recommend this bad boy http://www.gerberonline.com/downloads/productliterature/fixtures/Ultra_Flush.pdf Remodeled the master bath a year ago and put this in. I think it would flush an 8 pound turkey although it sounds like a 747 on take off.

 

Doesn't find it super disgusting when I'm too lazy to shave my legs for points in time.

 

My obsession with bird cams, and birds in general.

 

Well you got me obsessed, so there's that.

 

I get very talkative when I get excited about something and my voice gets a little bit loud.
I get excited about lots of things. If I were Warren Zevon, I'd be an excitable boy but supposedly, I'm a la-dy. Less my spouse, I wonder how it was to be raised by a person like me. Nothing really phases the spouse (*now that I'm stacking the dishes correctly). I think both my spawn are pretty tolerant. I like people that like to laugh and joke around. I guess some folks just prefer serious.

 

I have a seriously low tolerance for implausibility in movies (James Bond movies SUCK!) and TV programs (some scripts for Criminal Minds never should've been written, much less approved, filmed, and aired), and have a difficult time keeping my critiques to myself. My wife will watch damn near anything, even reruns of shows that she has seen several times and were pure crap the first time around. She frequently tells me, "Just put your brain in neutral." I now read during most of "her" programs, and we compromise on the volume level.

Football. I don't actually watch that much football (as illustrated by my lame-ass comments in the football threads). My wife's understanding of football is minimal, despite her spending many seasons in marching band in college. For some reason--within reason--she tolerates me watching football.

On a related note: I did convert my wife into something of a boxing fan. She can watch a close fight, score it well, and sensibly justify her scoring. That sounds patronizing, but when we started dating she didn't know or care anything about boxing.

 

I get defensive. I'm able to turn a silence or misunderstanding into a fight. I'm also always the one to apologize as it's my defensiveness that starts it all off. In fact, I don't think she's ever apologized.
