Something my wife and I share in common that I love about her is that we're both very open books. A difference though is that I'm only an open book about myself; I don't talk about things that might embarrass my friends or loved ones so much. I keep that very private.
My wife is an open book about everything and everyone. So, for example, sometimes we meet someone new, like an elderly couple, and I want to make a good impression on them but then my wife starts sharing stories like how I like to come out of the shower completely naked waving a towel over my head while singing, "Like a virgin, touched for the very first time!"
Then I'm trying to nudge her with my elbow like, "Honey, I'm trying to make a good impression here! This is starting to embarrass me a bit!" 😅 After we talk about it at home and tends to say like, "What? It's funny and cute! They didn't mind!"
I might exacerbate it since I do share embarrassing stories about me a lot in front of my wife, so probably gets the impression that it's fine for her to share them too. But when I tell an embarrassing story about me, it's on my terms and in a select time and place! 😂Oh well, I figure it's good practice. Being married to her for 14 years now has made me much more immune to feeling embarrassed.
It happens during the relationship. Sometimes you think, "I wouldn't even date a person who does or thinks that," and then you realize... it doesn't matter. It's just one small drop in the whole ocean. But now it's hard to recall... I don't focus on such details, so they don't stay in the memory.
Im making comment which I can do.. Anyone playing video games " all day long and on weekends " has a massive problem , and needs to dedicate far more time , to his caring partner ( assuming the comment is not a joke ) , I'm submitting this as a very valid opinion. People do comment on threads often , its not just for the questioner. Now , Lana may be exaggerating a touch , and if so , fair enough , but if the comment is literal , no one deserves that.
@molonski2 thanks for your concern but as I mentioned it doesn't bother me at all. Our marriage is going well and strong. He works hard during the week I think that putting a leash on what he does or not during his days off is not a good approach. That's his way of decompress and chill. Plus I'd rather him stay home around me than spend his days off outside doing whatever.
I'd say I tolerate the way she loudly slurps when eating noodles or spaghetti. She says she can't enjoy the meal if she doesn't slurp.
Another related to eating habits would be how she likes to eat resting on my lap. Now, I like it 90% of the time, when she's eating finger food or stuff like pizza. But then she does it with a dish of lasagna, and it's a bit difficult to remain comfy while she does it.
Last is a bit of classic, her not getting ready in time. Not because she doesn't know what to wear, but because she loses herself doing random stuff while half dressed. Same exact thing when we get back and she gets half undressed and then trails off to do something else without fully changing/undressing.
What I kind of tolerate here , but with internal resistance is table manners , they are used to big family do's with heeps of food , and they eat and talk , and sht goes everywhere and I can't even look ! But try stopping them..
I just leave the room and make an excuse , eventually I have to say something , so its probably not a good example , I had one I was with for years , very stubborn girl , and I had explained to her " You cannot eat in this manner if you are going to Australia "
Answer " I dont care , I'm going to enjoy my food " ( she always ordered just ridiculous amounts too -- of course she is not paying " - I explained it had nothing to do with enjoyment , over time that one just had to go , she got worse as time went on , and the little things were becoming big things.
I can't tolerate slobs , and people that cannot handle the social setting well , and will not even consider the importance of change.
If you are into "5 Love Languages" (Chapman) , her language is words of affirmation, and mine is little acts of service. So, we mutually tolerate THAT difference. Our immediate goals are often not in sync. But, we've tolerated that for 40+ years and still haven't killed each other. :- )
The little things which are unimportant in the long run. Like if they have some of the different hobbies, are a bit unorganized/messy, like to eat certain foods or have different preferences for movies or books. It's all good if they share my other values and are willing to compromise like today we're watching my movie, tomorrow yours. It's all smooth when someone is not a selfish asshole 🤗
If I'm fortunate enough to serve the Bitch Goddess I've got my heart set on, there will be virtually nothing I won't endure for her, 'cause she's... there aren't words to describe her❤️
