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.
Level 1: Creamy Level 2: Crunchy/Chunky Level 3: Use both for different applications Level 4: Almond/Pecan/Cashew/Other butters Level 5: Homemade peanut butter with your own addatives. Whatever nuts you have lying around. Cocoa powder, protein powder, chili oil, cayenne, etc.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is me and stinky cheese :b
I love really intense cheese. The good shit. I have lived with the tasteless rubber cheese for half my life because my boyfriend hates stinky cheese.
It was to the point that he, until last year, actually believed that I only like mild cheese and when I told him no, that I absolutely adore the nastiest, stinkiest cheeses he was shocked and asked me why I never told him. Said I did, many years ago, but I didn't mind giving up good cheese for his sake, because he has a very sensitive nose and I didn't want him to be grossed out everytime he opened the fridge.
To his credit, he took me to a farm store not long after that conversation and bought me a block of delicious stinky cheese. He did wrap it in several layers of plastic and stuck it in an air tight container like it was a murder victim, but he wanted me to have some cheese I actually liked for once. I think it was really sweet of him because I know how much good cheese repulses him. Haven't replenished my cheese stock since, but it's nice to know that he's willing to let me have it once in awhile.
Are the straights ok?
I don't think they have been for some time...
My wife gave up crunchy for me. I told her I couldn't sleep with that abomination in the house.
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.
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"
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.
What, like in Ethiopia? I'm sure they have both, too.
No.
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.
2 jars of peanut butter? In this economy?
It lasts twice as long though
4 times as long, if both jars are crunchy
If both versions cost the same, it literally makes no difference
How much does it cost to flatten peanuts?
My mother likes Scott brand toilet paper. My father likes Charmin. My father installed a second spool holder next to the toilet. One is loaded with Scott, the other with Charmin. They'll celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary this year.
If "we like different brands/styles of household consumable goods" isn't a solvable problem, if you solve it by buying one of each kind so everybody gets what they want, and your partner goes to un-solve it...unpartner them, because they're unfit.
So your mother's a masochist, then?
I slowly wore my vegetarian wife down in to eating bacon and steak, and she taught me how to cook more fish and veggie only meals. Still cant get her to watch Anime with me though π
That's pretty gross to own up to ngl, assuming your wife was vegetarian based on ethics
She was veg because that's how she grew up, its not like I brainwashed her or something lol. Just being around a meat-eater led to her trying more meat and liking it.
I mean you're the one that said you "wore [her] down", your word choice
Sometimes hegemony arises and spreads through proximity, not agitprop.
Iβm pretty sure she doesnβt even like Warhammer but has her own painted figurines.
marry that woman. no, wait, divorce then remarry that woman. well. shit.
What makes this post for me is OPs PFP as Mark from Peep Show.
βWe couldnβt possibly buy two jars of peanut butter.β
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 βmy wife always gets her way.β
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.
