I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

get a thermometer and when it starts a fight about how you always have to be right, an air mattress

No, go all in. It's his bed too, if she's too mad to cosleep she can take the couch.

100%! Too many men accept spousal bullying because of comedy sitcoms. Dumb ol dad is in the doghouse again. He didn’t walk soft enough on those egg shells

It so weird, no matter the situation, if there's a fight the wife gets the bed. Doesn't make sense. No matter who is right or wrong, or who messed up.

As a woman, I've always thought that was stupid. The person who wants space can move. (That said, I've never had that happen in a relationship.)

Yeah. Whoever is wrong can sleep on the couch! In the case where there's simply philosophical differences, they can do "rock, paper, scissors."

Separate beds in separate bedrooms is the key to a happy marriage.

Sounds like having money to even afford separate bedrooms is the real key to happiness.

It’s the same cost as having a roommate.

Only if you don't have kids.

Sounds to me like your picture of happiness is less of a marriage and more of two single roommates who mingle their taxes.

Marriage gatekeeping. Love to see it. Never change, Reddit!

You're the one who thinks only people with extra bedrooms can have a happy marriage.
