Your complaints about husbands and especially wives

Look, I get no pleasure from hearing about tragedy and abuse.
I hate it as much as you do.

By complaint I meant regular stuff like incompatibility,
sex or money issues, children, lack of romance, etc.

Maybe posters are afraid their spouse will read it on this forum.

Ken, do you and your wife have separate hobbies and interests besides the things you like doing together? We do and I think that is important for some couples. I am not interested in the goings on in my husband's shop but sometimes I take a book out there and read while he works on his various projects. We occasionally go out on dinner and movie dates too.

We've been married over 38 years and together 40 and have had our squabbles through the years just like every other married couple but I can honestly say without any hesitation that if I could turn back the clock and start over I would pick her again, hopefully she feels the same way.

Some people do a passive-aggressive thing when complaining about their spouse/partner. By that I mean they will tell a gathering of people about something the other person did/does but frame it in (what they think is) a funny/cute way but the intention is to humiliate the target who is sitting right there. Others will nod, smile, chuckle. I hate that, and I’ve actually turned and walked away from the complainer in the middle of their sentence – refusing to be a part of their little game.

Yeah, I hate that kind of thing too. Not nice, not funny. I'd rather be known (if for anything) as someone who lifts up people and including in the eyes of others. So I only share good stuff about folks.

So Victor, no complaints but just in case you're thinking of gettin'hitched, be considerate, be loving and respect her and unless you picked a nut case, you're unlikely to have anything to complain about and neither will she.

Are you planning on writing a book and looking for good story lines? I think most of the folks here aren't going to give you that because from what I've seen, we all seem pretty happy, content, whatever you want to call it.




Which reminds me, I haven't seen Josiah lately? Are he and I just missing one another or has he been away?

Definitely as I've gotten older I appreciate him so much more. I wish I could have understood him like I do now when I was twenty five. He was always a workaholic. But just because he wanted to keep us all comfortable. The only thing that makes me daffy is when he is home the TV has to be on. If he could watch and drive he'd have one in the car too...the bathroom, the kitchen. I don't think I even know how to turn the one on upstairs.

But you learn to compromise. We've found shows we can watch together sometimes and he listens to me describe all the newest books I've read. Or he watches TV and I read. We're way closer than a decade or two ago.

"I wish I could have understood him like I do now when I was twenty five"

Basically, you wish you knew THEN, what you know now? imp

I am very curious what complaints men have about their wives, seriously,
when they were younger and now older. Also what complaints wives have
of their husbands. I enjoy hearing other people's complaints about their
spouses. I feel better because I am unmarried.
Among the people I know, no one ever complains about their spouses. But
I assume their marriage is not idyllic, is it? Is anyone's marriage idyllic?
Please, no facetious replies/

Firstly, were you ever encumbered by marriage!

Those who never complain about their spouses, would do so at their own risk!

Idyllic? A wonderfully descriptive word proving existence of a netherworldly place!

No facetiousness here. That means "humorous". No humor connected here, only downtrodden mens' beliefs! imp
 
Nobody is perfect, but it's those imperfections that make us what we are and shapes our personality. If you love a person, then you love them as they are. I've been married 42 years and like IKE, if I could do it again, I'd choose the same girl.

(If she was wise, she'd probably choose somebody rich :D)

I have known women who complained a lot about their husbands to me. Funny thing is, as soon as they died, they became saints. :D

My friends father in law passed away,we went to the wake and I sat next to the widow and was telliing her my condolenses she said to me that she was glad he was gone and why should she ssaay otherwise when it would be a lie.
I respected her honesty because most would react like your friends did.,
 
Well, its coming up on 51 years for us in just a couple days. It hasn't been enough time though, I'd love a few more years. Complaints? Well, I bought him some snacks to eat while he was fishing and he ate most of them while he was sitting in the recliner watching TV. Should I divorce him for that?? I don't know, I paid almost $5 for those smoked almonds! :(
 
I think for every complaint I might have about my Honey...he could come up with two for me. :love_heart: We have our ups and downs just like every other couple...he's mine and I'm keeping him!

Smoked almonds are awesome!

True that, but if you are going to sit in your recliner and eat them it's cheaper to eat out of the can (Blue Diamond canned Almonds are great as I'm sure you know.) than in little individual packs. Next time he goes fishing I'll just throw in a whole can I guess. :) That'll teach him, huh? :)

That says it nicely. Would you marry them again? If you can say absolutely without hesitation YES then that is the lid for your pot...and I would say yes absolutely because Darius Rucker hadn't even been conceived in 1986...but seriously. We had so many years with him being Sonny Corleone and me the meek mouse.

Now with his illness he has mellowed and I became Joe Pesci. But I will be with him for the rest of his life if not mine. That says it all...

LOL!

Aw, let him off with a warning - smoked almonds are yummy! :D
 
Hubby and I have been married 50 yrs now,and yes we both have flaws and aren't perfect.He complains that I worry about him too much because, I don't let him do things that I
feel at his age he should just relax now and enjoy himself. I think it angers him because he thinks I feel like he is an old man. His chief complaint about me is that I do too much
for others and don't put myself first. The best thing we ever did was get married,have a wonderful family and are still in Love as much as we were the day we married. I don't want to spend one second on earth without him.
