My wife married into my Warhammer collection. We have a Warhammer room. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even like Warhammer but has her own painted figurines.

My son likes creamy, husband likes crunchy, so I stock both?
Husband did give up sour cream, but If he wanted it so bad, hes get it himself or ask me. I dont like blue cheese, yet we always have it in the house.
This is dumb.
Yeah, feels kinda like boomer energy. Gave up something unecessary to prove his love in a way that was never asked for, probably resents her for it or pulls that out as a talisman any time she brings up something she does care about because marriage isn’t about partnership; it’s a constant power struggle.
Chunky peanutbutter has gotten worse so I stopped getting it too.
Ensmoothification is real
A lot of people don’t believe in a relationship that isn’t a power struggle. They don’t believe in relationships that are cooperative. Many people are seeking relationships where they dominate or are dominated.
I date. I meet plenty of women who tell me on the first date that I must give up something to prove to them my worth or dedication to them. Because the point of the relationship to her is for men to suffer for her sake, and anything the man pursues for his own personal happiness is a her losing out on what should be given to her.
This might include hobbies, friends, possessions, lifestyle choices, and pets.
I also meet women occasionally who basically want me to tell them how to dress, what to think, what friends to have, etc. Which is kind of the flipside.
ya for condiments everyone literally can just have their own jar. You are not required to use everything someone else used.
When my wife wants to paint a room, she will go to several stores, and come home with dozens of white paint chips. Then she starts asking me which ones I like, and they all just look like white to me.
So I tell her to pick out her three favorites, and I’ll look at those, choose my favorite, and then paint the room whatever color she tells me.
I had the exact same experience when I moved in with my girlfriend recently
It’s a thing.
A beautiful arrangement.
It works.
This is very stupid.
My spouse was diagnosed later in life with a severe gluten intolerance. She went from enjoying beer and soft pretzels to being told “never again if you don’t want to shit yourself in public”
We have a simple rule. Bog standard gluten stuff is fine for me to have, sandwich bread, cereal, etc.
They told me that it was just very upsetting if I was enjoying some delicious gluten treat that they could no longer have.
I love my spouse, so I don’t eat delicious gluten treats in front of them because it would make them upset. Instead I figured out how to make lots of gluten free treats we can both enjoy together. Sometimes I miss the ease of getting a Popeyes chicken sandwich (I still can as long as I don’t eat it right in front of them) but I’ve learned to make gluten free fried chicken we can both enjoy.
Maybe other people would think this is silly, but the person I love is worth it to me.
Why did you switch mid-narrative from calling your spouse a “she” to a “them?”
My spouse identifies as non-binary and I try my best to use their preferred pronouns. That’s a more recent development and I’m used to calling them by feminine pronouns.
The first “she” is an old habit, my mistake.
Does it have a vagina? Or a penis?
What a weird question to ask about someone
They have a brain, and someday maybe you can too.
Dw, you’re not getting any in either case
I’ve been married 17 years. I like wearing swimming trunks, and my wife likes wearing bikinis. I haven’t worn trunks in 17 years.
I’ve been married for 17 years. I don’t want to wash my hands after peeing, my wife wants me to wash my hands after peeing. I’ve washed my hands for 17 years.
I hate people like this because they’re just miserable on purpose.
My partner doesn’t like Marmite and I do. Solution, I buy Marmite and she doesn’t eat it.
Just buy the peanut butter you like, as well.
2 jars of peanut butter? In this economy?
If both versions cost the same, it literally makes no difference
How much does it cost to flatten peanuts?
It lasts twice as long though
4 times as long, if both jars are crunchy
It is just peanut butter, not like he gave up on his hobbies. Unless ofcourse peanut butter is the one thing he is living for. To me it sounds like he can’t be bothered to deal with two jars of peanut all the time so he just said “eh fuck it”
It’s just boomer humour, haha wife bad BS.
For some people there isn’t another choice. It’s be in a relationship and be miserable, or be miserable and alone.
and a lot of people have control issues in relationships. they can’t be happy or secure unless the other person suffers.
Those people need therapy because that’s not normal way of thinking. If you’re miserable in a relationship what’s the point in staying in the relationship?
it’s less miserable than being alone.
not everyone has the luxury of therapy or happiness dude. that’s a thing wealthy people worry about. working-class people need someone to split the rent with.
What, like in Ethiopia? I’m sure they have both, too.
No.
this guy can still eat nuts and here he is complaining… smdh
It’s already been said, but yeah just get both? I’ve been married over 20 years, and I’m vegan while my wife is omnivore. Hasn’t been a big problem.
now i think you wife is a dinosaur.
She’s a cutie-saurus.
My fiancé has severe trauma around mint, it used to be my favorite flavor, and I had a bunch of products that had mint scents. When they moved in, they felt bad about asking me to get rid of my mint stuff. Its been my pleasure to avoid mint for their sanity. I do still get mint ice cream if they are on a vacation without me.
Are the straights ok?
No, I think Iran mined it, or something. But this about peanut butter.
I don’t think they have been for some time…
i mean you’re an adult, you can buy your own jar and enjoy whatever you like in parallel, why are people like that?
his wife does all the grocery shopping and he refuses to do domestic chores, so her revenge is never buying crunchy peanut butter
yup then it’s fully deserved and he’s not an adult, he’s a manchild
yep
I don’t think that’s fair as a blanket statement
… It’s a JOKE for fuck’s sake.
maybe what i wrote too… ? idk man it’s the internet we’re here to shitpost, it’s a meme community
Jokes generally have to be true, on some relatable level, in order to be funny.
My dad likes crunchy peanut butter, and my mom likes smooth. I grew up in a two peanut butter jar household. Despite decades of that, they are still married today.
Some say it’s impossible
I solved the problem by liking both.
Does he post that every year? In OPs screenshot its 17 years.
What a stupid thing. Like you can’t have 2 different jars of peanut butter in your fucking cabinets? My spouse prefers Jif, and I prefer Peter Pan. We have a jar of each in the cabinet. Because we aren’t emotionally stunted goblins pretending to be adult humans. God this tweet makes me irrationally angry. “haha, marriage is the worst, amirite guys?” ugh.
On the flip side, OP, I love the text you added in your post. That’s amazing.
Peanut Butter is $40 a jar! Nobody can afford 2!
“We couldn’t possibly buy two jars of peanut butter.”
Someone I listen to loves peanut butter but his partner is allergic, so he doesn’t have peanut butter anymore. I know the stakes are higher, but it’s more valid to match the solution. This post feels almost like intentionally suffering to make yourself a Martyr when the solution is very simple.
Peanut allergies are often sensitive enough to be triggered by trace amounts of peanuts in the environment, so completely eliminating it to keep a partner safe makes sense. The OP is clearly depicting a toxic variety of hetero relationships where guys refuse to make an effort at compromise and just say “my wife always gets her way.”
Though I do wonder how many people out there worry about a deadly peanut allergy they grew out of but haven’t realized they can now enjoy one of the best foods in existence.
He doesn’t do the shopping. He could easily go to the shops himself.
This. Lazy ass man, cant be arsed to go shopping. Thinks it’s a “woman’s job”. Complains when she doesnt serve his wishes.
My wife gave up crunchy for me. I told her I couldn’t sleep with that abomination in the house.
A lot of people that turn everything into a therapy session in here.
Hint. He does in fact buy crunchy for himself. That’s the joke.
