@bombastinator I think you need a job at the CDC. I'm not kidding I think they need you. If you would do me the favor of killing off their live polio and other terrifying strains of "poisonous hidden" that would be a very nice favor to me.
I don't know about women in GENERAL (they're a weird bunch) but I want what I want, exactly when, how, and where I want it at all times. If you can mindread, you get bonus points. If I have to throw out a hint or two, I will let it pass. If I have to VERBALLY tell you that is when it gets unpleasant.
For example the husband would bring me flowers. I hate cut flowers they wilt and die and remind you of aging. I also kill houseplants (same deal.)
The husband had done something egregious (not that much I forget what it was) and was instructed by another WOMAN to bring me a gift. Well he stopped at the dollar store, and there were no real flowers, but fake ones aplenty. I still have that bouquet through two moves, LOL.
I also want the cards you buy me to be SIGNED. You would think that would not be a thing, but the husband is an engineer and so practically autistic an there it would be-- a blank anniversary card. I would be like, "WHAT on EARTH do you want me to forward this to another woman so you can have a threesome?"
I mean I write loving messages in mine, sometimes to the point that it requires additional paper. My mom's the same way, she's like "The hallmark message is plenty." BUT at least she SIGNS THEM. LOL.
