Does your wife do shit like this?

[SCRAM2013]

I knew I had a winner early on. I was a high school dropout and joined the Navy to get out of a depressed economy and no hope. Met my girl while I was in the Navy. When we were dating I told her I planned on going to college no matter what after the service and that we would likely be poor as fuck for many years.

Without hesitation she said, and I quote, "Michael, I'd live in a mud hut with you."

And she wasn't some naive teenager at the time. She was in nursing school and 23 years old. Little did she know we would almost literally live in a mud hut for three years.

During my undergrad we were so poor we lived in a homestead on 11 acres in Seneca, SC. Dirt floor garage. Leaky old house with no heat, no 220VAC, no air conditioning. She had to wash clothes in cold water and hang them on a line, 12 months of the year. In the mornings I'd get up first and warm up the bathroom by taking a hot bath in the clawfoot tub (no shower) and running a little electric space heater. She would then eat breakfast in the bathroom before we went off to work. I split wood to heat the house with a woodstove, but we didn't have a fire in the mornings.

She did not ever complain. Not a single word. Years later after she told me how much it sucked, I asked her why she didn't say anything. She said she didn't want to distract me from my studies, and it wouldn't have changed anything anyway except making me feel badly for her.

We've been to war, lost parents and loved ones, and experienced life together for 36 years side by side. There is no woman I have ever met that I respect more. And I consider myself privileged to have her.

Seneca, SC huh? Small world...real small

My wife does shit like... I ordered pizza, wings, garlic bread and a 2 liter soda cuz I didn't feel like cooking today... after I bust my ass in the garage gym. I'm like... fuck! had I known that, I would've just started drinking when I got home.?


Fuck it, let's eat!

This was my Saturday! I shot 60 round league rifle match, came home busted ass on weights... came up stairs to clean kitchen and tv blaring. “Pizza is order, got wings too.” Wanna get beer and relax????

however no complaints from Me, especially after pounding some “pudding” lmao!

On.Fucking.Queue. I was off today & I was relaxing in the living room. My wife walks in & asks me if I wouldn’t mind putting two pair of shoes & her purse in the bedroom. On my way there, I found a pair of heels around the corner in the hallway leading to the bedroom.

In the twenty-three years we’ve been together, the one fucking thing she’s failed to learn is how to put shoes away.

Sounds like a good opportunity for hide and seek with her shoes...

That's AWESOME!

Just go ahead and tell her how you really feel. It’ll be fine.
