Okay, for example. What's with the underwear tossing with the foot and trying to catch it? Seriously? I take off my underwear, spray them with SHOUT, and put them in the dirty clothes. It's not an athletic event for Petes sake!!!

And then DS again.... Choice between fruit cup (various fruits, some that he doesn't like) and grapes. He chooses the fruit cup, then proceeds to pick out the grapes and doesn't want the rest. Smh...

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

as a man, i'd love to hear some stories of what you women consider weird that we might think nothing of
I'm 73 and working full time. DH is 77 and is a house husband, which he hates. For the last couple of weeks he has been studying 'Dutch Painters' for a talk he gave a couple of days ago. Last week I came home and he spent an hour telling me he couldn't concentrate on his talk because there were too many things that had to be done around the house.
Y, s, r. The bed was still unmade and the sink was full of dishes. So now I make the bed and put the dishes in the dishwasher before going to work. Today I'll get out the vacuum and give the house a once-over ..... then get the grocery shopping done. I'm doing laundry now. I'm ticked and he knows it.
Wonder what he'll complain about next. Sounds like you're reinforcing the idea that if he doesn't feel like doing a chore, you'll do it. Not a good precedent to set.

Still haven't heard from that guy - oh well! I'm extra frustrated because I want something kinda significant so I talk to guys who SAY they want that too... and then "can you send me a pic of your (whatever)?" Why do you need to see all that before I meet you? That's not what you say when you really want to get to know someone! So I'm trying to hold out for someone decent but then I remember that I haven't had *Thai Food* in a few months and I would really really like some...

Btw, the old fart just called me to remind me that Monday I'll be as old as he is for 11 days. Nothing wrong with that memory, it's as selective as his hearing.

It's not an athletic event for Petes sake!!! I've mastered this technique. Men do things in the simplest way possible saving as much muscle movement as possible. Who the heck wants to bend over more than you have to? Have to admit the "shout" is probably not a bad idea, though.

Bless you. I keep SHOUT in the closet. Honestly, do men forget to wipe after potty training? I've gotten to the point of thinking washing underwear by itself totally is not a waste of water but a necessary evil. Stop being gross. And while we are on the subject, if it itches, you don't have to immediately scratch it but can do it in private. Leave your butts alone. Seriously.

Reminds me of a favorite math professor in college. Almost every time he turned around to write equations on the board he scratched his butt. I never figured out if he did it because it itched and he thought because he couldn't see us we couldn't see him or if it was his way to keep the class focused on him. Either way, he was a character.

Btw, update on that old fart I married in January. After no kicking the bucket, he got into rehab. Rehab is very different but he's doing well. He hurt his foot or he'd have been discharged last Thursday. Hopefully this week!! Thanks for everyone's prayers and PMs. They kept me sane, or as sane as I can be. Thanks for the update, Zib! I'm glad to hear he is making progress and doing well in rehab. Still sending good thoughts your way for continued progress and good news!

I would like to be able to understand your point of view so as to develop more empathy for your terrible plight, but I can't do that if the problem is not clear. Which it isn't 'cause I don't know what "hurth" means. Sorry.

I have no choice. I have 5 years left with the one and 13 with the other. And you can't train them any better than that? In that case you deserve what you get.
Or are you solidly on one side of the nature vs. nurture debate?
Eh. My boys are pretty good. But some things, like the fart jokes and seeing how loud they can belch...that just has to be a guy thing.
