Lots of posts in a small time frame! Thanks -I like that!
Background: My wife and I are equally in control and make decisions with compromise. It's actually very simple! We have the greatest amount of love and respect for each other at all times, and we are truly meant to be together. We have two kids, a mortgage, college, full-time and part-time jobs, and lots of hobbies; therefore, time is limited. Homebrewing takes a lot of time, and we both understand that. We always make sure that things are fair for one another.
Summary and Analysis: Based on my opinions of the solutions, the summary and analysis will be divided into two sections: Bad and Good.
Bad Advice:
Ignore her Gila
Divorce her Johnny, wildwest
Tell her that her hobbies benefit no one wildwest
Tell her that its OK that shes not pretty because Ill be drunk Gila
Become a stereotypical, primitive, thoughtless, selfish, abusive, insensitive, dominating, arrogant *******; yet, dont be a dick about it
? - Irrenarzt, wildwest
Dont do chores during brewing down times - wildwest
Conclusion: What sad, pathetic lives you have. I hope you dont wonder why you never get laid. Do the world a favor and kill yourselves. You have obviously have no idea what women go through and have never heard of treating people how you want to be treated. But, hey, at least youre happy, right?! Ignorance is bliss
