Rosie_0801 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm not going to bash mine, because he is bringing home Indian food for dinner. Unless he neglects to bring home paneer, because I have a real hankering for paneer. Not that it would be his fault for not fulfilling my whims because I didn't ask for it.

I'm always up for a good non-bashing of my spouse though. :D I've never really given it a try before, but I see non-bashing has its potential!

Not that it would be his fault for not fulfilling my whims because I didn't ask for it. I hear footsteps, I will know in less than a minute! Rosie Well??? Indian food covers a multitude of sins; good strategy on your spouse's part. But did he deliver on the paneer? Me- I would need daal maharani.

Tarreymere Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Does kicking the heck out of him to stop him from snoring constitute "bashing"? If so I must leave this thread;) Perhaps. My spouse does refrain from kicking the heck out of me to get me to stop snoring. I'm told my children find my snoring too loud, and they sleep at the other end of the house........Maybe we'll call for a vote on this one.

Rosie_0801 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well??? Indian food covers a multitude of sins; good strategy on your spouse's part. But did he deliver on the paneer? Yeah!!!!!!! It wasn't good paneer, we need to find a better shop, but even bad paneer is good. Unfortunately, bringing home Indian food doesn't reverse snoring, so he still had to sleep in the lounge room. He did get a referral for a sleep study, but he lost the paper and can't remember to get another. Maybe he likes sleeping in the lounge room and only says otherwise to be polite?

unsinkable Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 No, of course it is not a spouse bashing thread! Because a spouse bashing thread would contain stories like: DH bought & used a cleaning product that gave me a horrid headache within minutes of smelling it. The scent went thru the whole house and everyone else was commenting on absolutely vile the scent was. I was practically crying my head hurt so badly. A few days later, DH used it AGAIN. :ack2: He defended using it by saying, "I just used it to clean the toilet and I FLUSHED REALLY FAST!" :willy_nilly: I threw the bottle in the garbage.

I sat down to a supper that was awesome and that I didn't have to make and with people who are decent and kind human beings.
