BAHAHA!! I'm loving this thread!
I'll have to add some of these things to the LONG list of reasons I'm a happy bachelor.
I -WAS- engaged for two years in my mid-twenties, during which time I experienced my stuff being moved and rearranged. But I had a safe zone, which was my computer desk area. I'm a graphics artist and photographer by trade, but I dabble in composing music and DJing in my off time. So my computer, Wacom tablet and styluses, camera equipment, microphones, turntables, MIDI keyboard, etc... were ALL OFF LIMITS.
It was a decision we came to after she first killed my brand new flat panel monitor (back when they were first getting popular) by cleaning it with some chemical she used on the TV, not knowing it would literally eat up the outer screen layer of the monitor, then a week later she knocked over and broke a $250 camera lens while dusting.
I was still a smoker back then, and I didn't kind her dumping my ashtray at my computer desk. I always forgot to and it'd start resembling an Awesome Blossom from Chilis but made of cig butts.
Thankfully I wasn't vaping back then, or I broke it off before I began vaping... I'd never find things like my Slap Yo Mama Adaptor tool for my carto tanks or any of my heads for my Aerotank or Nautilus. And god forbid I'd have been into rebuildables... who knows where the kanthal wire and cotton would have ended up. lol

My husband makes things go missing all the time. He goes on these cleaning fits, where all of a sudden, everything must me completely clutter free. This is why I try and keep the collection down. If I didn't PIF, trade, or toss what I didn't want, I'd run the risk of letting him decide what stays and what goes. It isn't just women!
I'm glad that both hubby and I are neat freaks. Although his office looks like it needs attention...... I'm not gonna do it 
His office, his to clean
My office, mine to clean
Common areas....ours to keep neat.

And... my wife has learned (the hard way) that if she'll stay outta my stuff, I'll stay outta hers.
yeah, find one bloody knife hidden under a drawer of blackmail letters and that usually helps set the tone early on.
God, I know the desk thing all too well... despite having knocked my PV off several times, one time breaking my favorite blue driptip, and me screaming at 100 dB or more, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING ON MY DESK!" he just doesn't seem to get it, and still manages to start an avalance probably twice a week. And everytime he does, somehow it's MY fault, because my desk is a "heap" -- and I always respond, "yes, but it's MY heap, and I know where everything is, and if you would just NOT TOUCH IT, nothing would fall off!!"
Some people just can't learn. *sigh* He still hasn't bought me a new drip tip to replace the one he broke.

AndriaD, at least he could buy you some flowers!
Heh... well no, he hasn't bought me any flowered drip tips. But I can't really get on him about not buying me flowers -- it's true he's never given me "roses" in the sense of a dozen long-stemmed... but, he's bought me nearly a dozen *living* roses, for planting, and that's even better, IMO. Once I get past all the novelty of vaping, I'm sure I'll be back to "rabid gardening."
THEN he can buy me some flowers... live ones I can plant!!

Geez wheez, what are you doing to these women that make you think they will stab, hammer or hack you to death? Sure, my wifes pushes me down the stairs a couple of times a month and claims it was accidental (and I have to give her props for at least trying to make it look like "accidental death" so she gets the bonus life insurance pay off) but there has never been any outright "I'm gonna kill you!s"
wait..i'm doing sumtin?
i just thought thats what all wimmenz do...it's all i've ever known....
My boyfriend is the cleaner and I'm the messy one who will tidy up only to appease him. I leave vaping stuff everywhere, it drives him mad. I think he's gotten used to it though, I really let him have it one day when he moved some of my stuff around to clean and I couldn't find it after. Turns out he just put it on my computer desk along with the rest of my vaping crap. He's learning well

I bought a house twice the size (that is 2X btw) of my old house because the "love of my life" needed more room. A year later there is not one area that does not have her "stuff" around it. We had a deal, Iron Clad, unchangeable, non-negotiable and sworn on a stack of bibles that I could have one room for myself. This room is the size of a large bathroom with no windows and perfect for computer and vaping escape. I had (notice the word... HAD) a desk, a monitor, a filing cabinet and a lazy boy and it was heaven... for about 2 months. Now it is "our craft room."
Men, if you are unwed and they get ready to move in, change your location, take on a new name, get plastic surgery, burn your fingertips, buy a old beater car for cash and don't put it in your name, dye your hair, grow a beard and move to a cabin in the woods to live with the bears! Run...RUn.... RUN!!!!!!

get a friend with access to some bodies, like a university medical student. then just put a cadaver into the car with your ID and set it on fire. come back with a new identity.
last week Carlos Iquanahead Tallywhacker III perished in a fiery '85 Pontiac Fiero and Gustavus Two-Colon Mustachetrimmer was born with a brand new '77 Chrysler Cordoba.
Yall are killin me.
And DO NOT get me started on this, New Purse of the Week Club some of you ladies are surely members of. Do you know what kind of "useful" crap us guys could by with that money?
But back on topic here people!D). I am going to milk this incident into something special for myself like a new PV. Mrs. Kodiak's guilt can usually be alleviated for $300 or so. ($10 per year of marriage - remember that newlyweds!).
Tried that once. She had me go in there for something and I couldnt even get it open. Seems those buckles and straps on the front were just for looks and the hidden zipper was the answer. Silly me.

The worst part of the New Purse is she some how feels the need to explain to you HOW the new purse is better than the old purse! My wife goes into the super sales mode like she has to convince me the new purse was worth it. I'm sorry, I'm confused! Did I ask? Did I give ANY indication I had any interest at all in purses that gave her the thought I need to know ANYTHING about her new damn purse? No! I don't show her my new wallets (which btw, are only replaced about every 5 years when the old one no longer works, i.e.; no longer performs the function of a wallet, which is to hold cash and credit cards and NOT because it doesn't go with my new winter coat. BTW, it goes in my right rear ... pocket and the color is immaterial because it can't be seen!) Ladies, as a general rule unless your purse can shoot out our mod set up the way R2D2 shot out Luke Skywalkers lightsaber in Return of the Jedi, we have no interest in it.
