My wife is pissed

[PlexVector]

Has anyone noticed that the OP hasn't been back since his first post?

She was looking over his shoulder when he wrote it...

 

[TX_Brewing]

Hey my wife told me to go by the brew store on my way home today so I could squeeze a batch in before Christmas! God I love that woman, did I mention the store was 20min the opposite direction of home?

 

[Roland_deschain]

OP - I'd withhold sex from her until her attitude improves. That'll teach her to get mad at frivolous things!

Ummmm....why should he punish HIMSELF?!?!?!?!? lol

Somehow I see it backfiring on him

 

[drainbamage]

The first step is admitting it's your fault.

You don't have to know why, but just admit it.

No response from Op come on man we are all waiting for the news. Maybe SWMBO grounded him from the Internet.

 

[estricklin]

The wife is angry? There seems to be no reason for her angst? Hmmm, a few follow up questions:
Does she crave chocolate?
Has her intake of cranberry juice increased?

If the OP answers yes to both of those question, he should probably NOT take my above advice, or at least try it while she's brushing her teeth instead of cooking.

Hey..before i get a beer,i make sure things are done and ask is there anything that needs doing.if anything arises while having a beer we both attended to it..she has here hobbies too.it's called working as a team.

That's the exact attitude that e'll land you in divorce court.

[Hello]

They are pretty much all that way. One thing you can be sure of though, treat them like crap and they'll never leave!

Never take any of this advice. It's the worst advice ever. as for the OP, put down the beer and help from time to time. The beer will always be there, she may not. Some of you sound miserable about your marriage. Sadness.

He probably is taking a nap on the couch.







After she vacuumed, of course. Can't get anything done with that loud ass thing running.

Don't know exactly why, but my wife is pissed. maybe its because I have spent the last half a day not helping her get ready for the holidays. I am a $hit. Drinking beer is the reason.

Well, why did you choose not to help her? Do you two have it "going on" or don't you? You expect to get some "action" after choosing to drink beer instead of helping her? Yo, wake up! If her needs aren't being met, there are plenty of guys out there on the internet that will help her out.
Sorry, dude but my 2 cents is you blew it, you should apologize and ask her if anything else needs to get done for the holidays to try to make up for you being a sh*t. Maybe a new years resolution to stop being a beer drinking d*uche and start being a good husband to your wife?
Find a way to get her happy and then you'll be happy. Good Luck to you, hope you have a merry Christmas.

Ah, men who don't commiserate about something aren't/isn't (where's an English major when you need one) in a healthy relationship...

For god's sake, NEVER blame it on the beer!

This.

Besides, there's really no household chore that beer doesn't improve.

Man I love my situation. I am married to the best girl on the planet(otherwise I would have just stayed single). I do bust my ass for our family and she is well aware of it, which is cool because she also encourages me to have my fun and spend money on myself/enjoy drunken brewdays. That being said, if stuff needs to get done you gotta pull your weight. and if you mess up you gotta admit it, own it, and apologise (and be sincere). My Catholic guilt eats at me, even if I am right I hate knowing that I have hurt my wife in any way. I know the holidays add some stress for everything to be perfect, but just make sure and give her an extra snuggle and tell her something great that she has done and how much you appreciate her. If all else fails go downtown if you know what I mean

Your married to my wife too???

[SeraW]

I must be missing something, my wife's never been pissed this long... (and never have I...)

 

[slym2none]

When I was a teenager, I bet my mom $100 I wouldn't be married by the age of 35.

Almost ten years after winning that bet, I didn't know it was a curse, that women would just avoid me...

Jeeeze!!! What a bunch of Freaks You all turned out to be. I make a stupid comment while well into my cups, and I seemed to have stirred up a plethora of Freudian responses. I got it all, from "Keep loving her and do the little things", to "Its all part of married life, don't sweat it", to "Give her the back of your hand". My favorite was the lengthy Dr. Phil pap about treating her right and run the Hoover occasionally.
Lesson learned. And the lesson is this:

When up late and "making rather merry", as Dickens would say, I shouldn't get on the computer and say some silly $hit. I mean, keep it to your self. Dont give these guys an opening. Like sharks in chum.

I have commented on many an occasion, and quite brilliantly I must say, about the intricacies of beer making, and process, and equipment development. All sorts. And Never got but a few comments.
Five pages for this? Really? Whats the matter with you guys.
Withhold sex? really? At our age she wouldn't even notice, and by time she did I will have forgotten why.

Oh yeah, it turns out she was mad about something else, and just taking it out on me. That's what I'm here for.

 

[Rhumbline]

Yeah, this one veered off in an unexpected direction, just like Owly's post about the dog getting into the bird feeder.

I'm happy to hear that you are still alive.

My Ex used to say that "going downtown" caused a yeast infection.
The new one doesn't give a lick about that (excuse the pun) and likes to enjoy life rather than worry over the small things. So although I give her plenty to be pissed at me about I always try to do what TriggerHappy said and not let the sun set on a bad mood. Hope everyone has a finger licking good time Merry Christmas!!

When you talk in fancy, over-complicated, beer jargon...sometimes people get lost in translation, or they chose not to reply and offend someones brewing practices....but this thread was something every heterosexual man could relate to..thus the comments.

At the end of the day, truth be told, no one (probably) really cares about how you chose to handle your situation, we were all just finding common ground to air our own grievances about our marriages..and their imperfections. As you can see, we all handle them differently...and as you can also see, we all still have the same problems. What I take away from this thread is that b!tches be crazy!

Brew on!

Just as you were "well into your cups", it is probably a safe assumption that many of us were as well. Don't take anything too seriously.

So - my wife got really pissed on Sunday.

I setup a brew day, which doesn't happen very often lately. She didn't say anything, but I knew she was mad at me for doing it so close to Christmas.

Anyway, the night before, I got hungry and made a bagel and cream cheese for a snack. The cream cheese had been in the fridge for at least a month.

I awoke the next day to her in my face - 'Did you eat the cream cheese? That was for my cookies. I told you not to touch it.' I offered to go buy more, but she stormed out of the house to get it herself. Now I'm banned from eating any of the cream cheese cookies for the entire Holiday season (I already stole a few).

To make matters worse I ordered a pizza while we were brewing. I thought I ordered it with 1/2 hot peppers, but the entire pie had hot peppers. My wife won't eat anything hot, so I picked off the peppers and gave her a slice. You can guess what happened. The residual pepper juice was still there. Now I'm in even more trouble.

I love the Holidays!

 

[Rhumbline]

Eat all the cookies, replace them with bacon wrapped habaneros. You're gonna want to put them on a metal pie plate.
