Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

[QUOTE=rubyraks]I've become afraid of "candle-shopping" :evil:[/QUOTE]

The best is when they get dragged to those absurd "candle parties" where friends jointly guilt one another into purchasing ridiculously overpriced candles with the understood promise that the host will purchase something at whatever absurd party her guests decide to have, be it "Pampered Chef," "Southern Living," or those ridiculously overpriced baskets.

The crazy thing is that it works, and there's a whole industry fueled by obligation and guilt. Would any of these gals ever spend $50 for a fucking candle if it weren't for their friend guilting them into it? Yet, everyone seems to go along with and be OK with it, even though they know exactly what is going on. Cracks me up. :lol:

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

I was gonna make a lengthy post here, but I?m kinda drunk, cuz I?ve had a 6 pack already while I?m watching the soccer game..thank god I?ve ordered my wife and kids to go to bed already.

You seem to have missed the part when I said I was drunk.:D

No dude, I was making fun of the typical latin macho figure but yeah, she usually goes to bed a lot earlier than me (or maybe it?s me who goes to bed late), and I stay on the computer fooling around with Ableton Live and shit like that. When I want to "fool around" I just go to bed earlier 8)

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

Compromise:

1. Location: Will be moving from New York in about a year (oh well, let's see what living in a "small" town is like).
2. Food: Good-bye, pork and beef. Hello, chicken.
3. Music: She now listens to EDM and can even tell Sasha from Digweed.

No Compromise:

1. So far, nothing. Knock on wood.

I don't think I will ever see that day in this life.... :(

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

One thing I can tell you is that it takes 2 to make it work. Sacrafice and communication is the key. As for the candle parties, thank God she is not into that. If she was, that would go into the No Compromise category.

Last year I took her to see Armin and Markus Shulz. She had a good time, but I don't think the day will ever come that she will know the difference between any DJs. On a good note, she can't stand trance unless in a club. In the car she likes Markus, Sasha, sets etc. :RightOn:

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

^ my fiance used to like electronic but isn't really into it anymore. Which is kinda good in a way becuase she gets me out of the progressive bubble that I tend to live in. Anyone ever listen to Po' Girl?

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

[FONT=Helv][SIZE=2]since i got married defo many things changed, i don't go out as often as before, much cleaner, I'm the man to call when u need to fix any thing now, my EDM still in the same level but the 1st time i meet me wife was in a club ...so she loves EDM as much as i do and party togther. Compromise: 1- Toilet set down 2- I had to call in to inform her what I'm up to ( part of the communication bollox ) 3- less time drinking with me mate and talking shit ( man i miss lads nite out) I'm sure if i got the time i will come up with a bigger list ....but for now .............

The funny thing is that my wife loathes them. Nevertheless, she begrudgingly attends, and swears that she's going to drag all her friends to some asinine party herself someday as payback for buying all this overpriced shit. She's really a riot about it.

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

im suprised so many people put toilet seat down as one of their compromises... didnt you lot learn when you were about 3 that its just good manners?

ditto.

what's even funnier is this is like a big deal to people still, a "compromise." "Okay!!! FUCK!!! i'll LOWER the toilet seat if it makes you happy!!! ...just GET OFF MY ASS!!!"

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

I am fucking own'd. She has what I want, so the ball is in her court. I am slave to the machine. She has the keys, house, kid, bank accounts, credit cards, cat, friends, money, looks, beauty, charm, success, and my fire truck.

She says seat up, and I do it.

She says clean up the floors, I ask how many times.

She say jump, and I say how high.

You get the point. :lol:

No kidding, have you seen the studies they have done about this. The amount of "toilet juice" that flys out of the toilet when you flush is amazing! Be careful of your toothbrush if you are one that has a hard time "compromising".

of course, but living alone for some years, its just easier leaving the seat up, and not to mention the middle of the night piss. Half a sleep = bad aim, so I rather have the seat up.

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

[QUOTE=peloquin]im suprised so many people put toilet seat down as one of their compromises... didnt you lot learn when you were about 3 that its just good manners?[/QUOTE]

No kidding. I just close the thing completely, always have. It's a toilet, FFS -- I don't want to look in there every time I walk in the room.

My biggest toilet-related problem is forgetting to flush the damn thing when I shower. My plumbing is set up such that if I flush the toilet, I lose all the cold water in the shower for a few minutes. I always take a whizz right before hopping in the shower, and leave it to flush when I get out so I don't get scalded. Occasionally, I'll forget, which drives my wife up the wall. I can understand her position 100%, though.

For a brief while, I left the toilet open while in the shower to remind myself to flush it. Well, once I did that and one of the many books in my bathroom blew into the urine-filled toilet while I was showering. Last time I did that. :(

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

you just have books flying around your bathroom? it had a life of its own?

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

honey, i love you so much, and ive been trying to think of a way to show how much, and ive found the perfect way to show my love for you. im going to start putting the toilet seat down. :|

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

[QUOTE=peloquin]you just have books flying around your bathroom? it had a life of its own?[/QUOTE]

I like to take a pretty active and vigorous shower, and suffice it to say that I tend to move a lot of air in the room a lot when I'm lathering up. That, and the window was open. :roll: ;)

Re: For the Married/Engaged/LTR people

That, and you have the largest collection of short-attention-span-bathroom-reading-material known to man. It's bound to go flying about the bathroom at any given time.
