Women doing it all not having it all

Nowhere near vitriolic enough. I think we can rule out HyperD as wim's sockiemaster.

I thought you were going to keep out of this thread? Get back in the kitchen and cook the man some eggs.

To be fair, my husband did put up some shelves in 2003. And just this year, he fixed the bathroom light switch. He also drives his own car through the car wash.

Does he put the bins out?

Nah - but he builds towers out of empty toilet rolls next to the bathroom bin once it's too full to fit them in.

My latest partner is a lovely girl. I feel it’s quite a balanced relationship:

She apparently doesn’t understand the washing machine controls, which is fine, as she knows how to use the iron.

Likewise – she likes to cook and so do I. And neither of us likes to wash up. So whoever gets home first gets to cook and the loser has to wash up.

Neither of us likes cleaning the house, so we pay a friend of a friend to do it. Or leave it till it starts to smell.

After spending 20 years with a tidy freak I’m quite well trained – and she seems a bit messy. But that’s ok with me – I’m quite happy to stick her junk in the bin. No point moaning at her as it will just make her miserable and she’ll end up hating me (well that’s why I left the ex-wife).

She can’t drive so I’ve given her £20 a week for lessons to save me driving everywhere. She hasn’t crashed yet so it can’t be too bad. (That’s in central Brum – not the best place to start learning!)

I’m now helping her set up a business. Trouble is I hadn’t realised she doesn’t do maths at all. When I started talking about percentages and supplier price comparisons and working out optimum order sizes to get the best shipping rates she glazed over. But that’s Ok, if the business goes as well as it looks it might – she’ll be earning more than I do contracting and I’ll then stay home and look after the house and a bit of ordering and accounts admin for her. And I won't be complaining to a mens magazine about how my woman doesn't respect me.

There's something not quite right about your posts regarding your relationships. Are you related to Wilmslow?

She apparently doesn’t understand the washing machine controls, .

I have to confess to not understanding these either - but that is probably deliberate. -always wondered why clothing and washing machine manufacturers couldn't get together and have bar codes on clothes label and bar code readers on washing machines - scan the items in as you load and let the machine work out the best cycle (and beep if you try to put coloureds in with whites )

Is that Wiiiiilmslow? I dont know him [or her].

But if it's anything to do with the fact that all his relationships are entirely in his head, then we probably share the same high standards in women.
