How to be a part of your partner’s life:
darling, i never once considered whether or not i like these bowls because they serve the purpose i need them to. What do you not like about them?
I see what you mean, i suppose they are fairly bland and don’t match our other dinnerware. It doesn’t bother me even slightly, but I would love to investigate other options with you if you’re planning to do so.
Yes, dearest, these new bowls are quite nice. I like how everything matches
OR EVEN
Honestly, peaches, i don’t like how thin the new bowls feel, I’m afraid to use them because they feel delicate. I liked how robust the old ones were—i never had to worry. Does this concern you? We can always find other options.
Now I’m on my third set of bowls? Wtf am I made of money?
Who do you think you are? My therapist?!?
I am like this and I am not sure if I am broken or what. Shit staying the way it is is 100% fine for me - as long as it’s practical, idc. But my partner needs to shake things up every once in a while or she feels bad. x_x
I’m glad they’re like that. My place was literally pic related until she showed up.
Place looks the same to me now, functionally, but also its a “home” too now, so thats nice.
They like to put cute stuff on the walls, gives it more of a “home-y” feel.
Mine was post-soviet flat. It’s still mostly is as we are poor as shit, but she rearranged furniture at least 5 times since she moved in xD
I have ADHD and I need to change my environment occasionally to tame the ADHD demon. Maybe she does too.
Possibly. She’s defo on spectrum. Both diagnosed by the prof. S. Jonal (me) and actual profesionals. Fun to know it’s tied to that.
I’m just imagining this guy shrugging every time his wife talks to him 😆
🤷
🆘
Yay, normalized over-consumerism disguised as marital quirks!
And misogyny, because it assumes ‘she’ will want things that don’t matter but you have to be ok with it to make her happy.
If you say that some women want some things that don’t matter is because you hate women! Obviously!
I’m saying it assumes women do it while lots of people I respective of gender do it. Could be in regards to different things for individuals
Ok. Next time someone tweets something they better say “husband/wife” every time. Otherwise people will think they hate men/women! Good to know.
If that whole scenario wasn’t fabricated, how is it misogyny to give an anecdote about his marriage?
And where did he say what his wife cared about doesn’t matter? He only said he doesn’t care as a response to his wife asking if he also hated the bowls, and that he never gave the bowls a thought. Do all members in a relationship have to be gungho about everything?

I really don’t mind the appearance of either set, but I’m not a fan of the way that the new ones break in the dish washer. Ceramic shards are sharp and the mechanical repairs are expensive. Not to mention replacing the full set of these fragile bowls every 6 months.
Sincerely,
someone who purchased bowls 30 years ago and discovered that modern craftsmanship is subpar.
THEY BREAK IN THE DISHWASHER?
And the dust is fine enough to go through the dish washer filter. It’s truly annoying
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Where the hell are you buying bowls?
I think the set was from sears? I dunno, we’re back to the old set until my partner finds another design worth swapping to.
Edit: it was target
I’m concerned when you say the new ones were from Sears. Sears closed in 2005…
They still have an online store
Edit: and also 5 physical stores, apparently. Neat
I mean, it’s no longer “sears” though, if you get my meaning.
You’re probably better off buying from Amazon or Temu at that point, but personally bowls from a quality store aren’t too expensive anyways given how much use they’ll typically get.
Order a set of corelle and call it a day until you find the bougie set they want to keep in a cabinet while you keep eating off the corelle
Aiyaa.
I found that Corell dishware is still as good today as ot was 40 years ago. Excellent stuff, light and tough. But when it does break, it breaks hard.
Although it has been a while since I bought some.
This is wholesome thanks for sharing
Sometimes the thing she wants requires effort though.
“Are you going to help me?”
Despite not once thinking about a perfectly fine room color being over a year old.
In this case it’s always better to just go along with it. Your partner will be happier, you will be happy that they are happy and overall they are likely right that changing the wall colour is a good idea. If you push back you are likely going to both end up unhappy, not to say you should always just roll over and do what your partner says, but when they ask if you are going to help, that’s your opening to come up with another possible suggestion.
I get this. I have bowls that I don’t like, but also I haven’t seen any that I do seriously like enough to buy. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a cheap way to make the spouse happy. Especially if they moved in and your already had the bowls. It lets them put their touch on their home.
A lot of things I have are functional, but never truly what I wanted. Maybe the size is just a bit off for how much I eat, or the way the bowl is shaped makes it slosh too much.
I think I have 3 or 4 sets of bowls now. Though I don’t think I’ve paid for any. Some were left by the previous owner, others were a gift bought super cheap/used and were from the Disneyland hotel (I worked at Disney and we got access to buy what the company used in their restaurant for like $0.50/bowl), and another set my fiance brought when she moved in.
Otherwise I like to shop estate sales, garage sales, and thrift stores. I almost bought a set of retro 1950s bowls from a neighbors garage sale last month. Decided I didn’t need another set though.
This guy is one of the best to ever play magic the gathering
How to alienate your spouse in 2 steps by not caring? Strange internet humor…
I didn’t read that into it. I read it as the person not particularly caring about the bowls, but caring that his wife is happy so in with the new bowls. I assume it’s condensed and that the person is not just literally shrugging and not reacting otherwise, though.
ok boomer
And now you’re poorer the cost of the new bowls to replace the perfectly good older ones because your wife isn’t happy when she’s not actively consooming. Repeat in six months to a year to feed the bottomless pit of human desire.
I miss Basic Four.
You did do something: You worked to earn the money for new bowls.
Nobody will give you back that lifetime. Was it worth it?
There is absolutely nothing in that story which suggests that the wife doesn’t also have a job.
Complaining about bowls sounds like unemployed behavior to me.
Who hurt you?
Uncle Tony and Father Santello.
Or maybe you didn’t and the wife worked to earn the money for new bowls.
Or you are landlords and other people worked to earn the money for new bowls.
No. It was not worth itYes peace and quiet is worth it. Arguing about stuff you don’t care about is the path to darkness. Let them have their bowls
Happy wife, happy life; and all that.
Happy spouse happy house
Unhappy spouse, lose half a house.
