Let me start off by saying that Paige and I have a wonderful relationship. I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else.
We’ve never had any problems that we couldn’t talk about rationally and work through (no matter how much money I just wasted on an amp, or a Corvette, or some computer part). Our views on most issues are very similar, and when they differ we can always discuss the topic and see both sides.
It’s sometimes interesting to get a peek into the lives of other couples who aren’t quite as like-minded as we are. With that in mind, here’s a site I just stumbled accross today – Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About. I think that’s the longest domain name I’ve ever seen. Here’s just one example of the kinds of things these people argue about:
Our sink is blue and we’re not talking about it. It happened over a week ago; I was leaning over the sink, brushing my teeth, when I noticed that there was a sort of lazuline patina that had seeped over most of the surface. Margret hasn’t mentioned anything about this. Why she hasn’t is that she’s obviously tried to clean the sink with, well, I don’t know, some fluid used for stripping entrenched cerriped colonies from the hulls of submarines or something (they were probably offering three bottles of the stuff for the price of two at Aldi). She is waiting for me to mention it. But I am a wily fox, and will be doing nothing of the sort. I’m no wet-behind-the-ears, naive youth anymore, not by a looooong way, and I can perfectly see the spiked pit the seemingly innocent words, ‘Did you know the sink’s blue’ are covering. It would go – precisely – like this:
Me: Did you know the sink’s blue?
Margret: Yes. I did. I used a jungle exfoliant produced by the Taiwanese military to clean it, and it discoloured the surface.
Me: Oooooooo. K.
Margret: Well maybe, just maybe, if you cleaned the sink once in a while…
You see what she did there? Now I’m facing a whole day of ‘When did you last…?’ Well, not this canny fellow – not this time, my friends.
Our sink is blue and we’re not talking about it.
Be sure you have plenty of free time before you visit this page. I’ve been reading for a long time now and I’m only half way through it.
I was so impressed by the fact that you used the word “I’d’ve” that I made it a link for you. In the future just be sure you put the full address (with the http, colon, slash, slash) and the website will turn it into a link for you automagically.
It’s a shame that all of their prices are in pounds and I don’t think they ship to the US. But still, we can look there and then buy the stuff elsewhere.
WHAT?!? You never knew the term I’d’ve?!?
Surely you must be familiar with its more commonly used form: “ida.”
Nobody can EVER call me difficult again! Margret
puts me to shame!
They argue about eating a KitKat????!!! I am just so happy when we have a KitKat, I would never critique the way Ben ate it.
