I had those "punching but it just doesn't work" dreams, too. But then I tried kicking instead and that worked just fine. Then I got so into kicking the nightmare about trying to fight off a horror movie monster with useless punches changed into a dream about kicking stuff and doing flips.

I think it has something to do with brains and science. Next time you're in a dream fight, just make like a French sailor and start kicking.

What is "the title of my next Naruto fanfiction", Alex

quote:

My wife is really pissed at me for something that I think is genius. Pissed to the point of us now discussing divorce. Really I'm more curious what goons think so I can tell her "I'm not the only one who agrees with this"

She and I make a good but not obscene living between us. Approximately 210k a year, no kids, but we have some pretty big expenses that eat into that. I play Magic competitively so I spend a lot on drafting decks, plus we travel 4-5 times a year to various cons to play and pick up the convention exclusives. My cards are going to be a long term investment and said any potential kids to college, so we're good there.

But this year, for the first year ever, the burden of hosting Christmas has fallen on us. We have invited both families so that's:

Her parents
My parents
Her 4 sisters and the 2 boyfriends
My brother and his girlfriend
Her grandma
My 3 competitive Magic friends who don't have any local family

My wife is cooking a very traditional meal; Ham, Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, some kind of veggie, and a variety of cakes and pies. Nothing she can't handle - except the cost is getting out of control. On top of that, 1 of her sisters, her grandma, and her parents have pretty significant drives, so my wife (without my permission) suggested they crash at our house. This would be annoying but okay IF I hadn't already promised that space to my friends. So I came up with a solution that seemed to work for everyone.

We would charge those family members a small fee to stay with us. I looked online and hotel rooms that night nearby were charging about 110 dollars a night. I was going to cut them a huge break and charge 50 dollars each to stay. This would also help us pay for food, so really, they were getting a room for the night AND a meal.

When I brought this up to Sara she told me it wasn't happening, and that if we did charge anyone, it would be my friends. This is extremely hateful - my friends don't have anywhere else to go, so why charge them and just make them feel worse? Granted, they do live closer, but they plan to drink and I don't want them driving home in ice and snow drunk. They are also currently unemployed, and 50 dollars is a lot to ask of them.

When I calmly explained that fact Sara continued to lash out, telling me that charging her family was inconsiderate. Meanwhile, the real inconsiderate thing is to expect us to host a meal without any financial compensation. We fought, a lot of rude obscenities were thrown my way, and I told Sara she needed to think about how this was affecting her marriage. I spent the night at a friend's house (Not cheating, my wife just has the house in her name since she owned it before we met) and came home the next day after work.

She was much calmer and asked me to explain the logic behind charging her family. I did, and she proceeded to go hormonal on me again. Since then we have barely spoken beyond her asking me to apologize for nothing.

It is 12 days before Christmas. I should be sitting at home with a cup of hot chocolate while my wife bakes up cookies for us to enjoy. Instead, I am worried I'm about to lose half my stuff. Please help me articulate to my wife why she is being wrong and thinking purely emotionally instead of being fiscally responsible.

This is literally a post from the r/relationships thread. Do not charge your relatives for Christmas. That is crazy. If the cost of the food is getting out of control, ask them to each contribute a dish. This is normal and will solve your problem just as well with the added bonus of not making the holidays into a business transaction. I'm 100% Team Anon's Wife on this one. Apologize to her and figure something else out. :colbert:

quote:

My wife and I got married just after college. We met in our sophomore and junior year. We both got relatively decent jobs in a major city and have had a comfortable life up until recently. My wife has had very few relationships before she met me and was quite shy during college and when we first started dating.

When we first got established after college she began asking for an open style relationship, stating that she wanted to experience the things she missed during her high school/college years. I was open to this because we have been together for 6~ years already with no problems or issues and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try new things and learn more about ourselves. A few weeks after agreeing to this she told me that she was going out with her supervisor at work (who is almost twice her age). This shocked me, but I kept an open mind because of the initial rules we set when she first brought it up.

This has been going on for months. She has weekly "meetups" with this guy and I'm not totally sure what they do or where they go. There are days where I don't see or hear from her, and even then it is just a single text saying that she is okay or that she will be home soon. She is reserved about revealing any more information other than the day/weekend she plans to meet with him.

I have yet to date/hookup with anyone since we agreed to have an open relationship. I have no idea why the gently caress I agreed to this. She has not been romantic with me since this poo poo started happening and we usually just sit and watch Netflix or TV during our work nights and go to bed. I have anxiety attacks when she is with the guy and usually drive to my parents and spend the night with them when she leaves. Did I gently caress up?

yes

Open relationships never work, but a surefire way to tell a specific one isn't working is if there is functionally no difference between it and an affair. Your wife is checked out of your marriage and will either leave you for this other guy or leave you for the next guy she starts dating when she gets bored with him.

Now, you did technically agree to this. But there's no law saying you can't change your mind. Tell your wife you can't handle the open marriage. Say you thought you could, but you can't, and you have no interest in anyone but her and it kills you when she's out with this other dude. This is the truth, so you shouldn't have a problem saying it. You need to close the marriage back up; tell her so. If she gives you any resistance at all, that's a deal-breaker because it's basically proof that she doesn't really want to be married to you, she wants to be single and play the field; give her her chance to do that by kicking her to the curb. If she agrees and apologizes and changes her ways, well, whether you trust her going forward from here is on you -- I don't know either of you from Adam after all -- but I'd keep my guard up at the very least.

e: oh also she should quit her job, she's making GBS threads where she eats and it's a bad idea regardless of relationship status but also I think she'll keep cheating if she keeps working there

MTG goon: you're really disrespectful in the way you write about your wife, clearly think quite little of her and I hope she divorces your stupid rear end.

If you want to keep this marriage going, you're going to have to scoop 'em up and do some serious apologising. You're dead on board, mate.

E: also lol point 1 slide 1 on the TED talk for "how to gently caress up your perfectly decent relationship" reads "open it up"

Xmas hotelier, you are an idiot and your wife is right. If you can't afford to host Christmas then you shouldn't have agreed to it. If you need some financial help, ask them to help with the food. Charging relatives to stay at your house is a total dick move and a good way to make sure no one wants to come to your house or invite you to theirs ever again. Also if you are making 200k a year and a few hundred bucks is that important to you then you are doing something seriously wrong.

Charging friends or even friends of friends to stay at your place (as long as it's a reasonable amount of time) is ridiculous, let alone family. If they are staying a while and eating your food just ask them to chip in for groceries. You're like one of my former roommates who tried setting up a bring your own beer party with a "door fee" and guess what, hardly anybody came and nobody thought he was serious about the door fee because charging money for being allowed to enter your house temporarily is something only assholes do.

Open marriage goon: the most predictable ending.

Your wife is loving another dude. She asked for this open marriage because she wanted to gently caress this guy, or maybe was already doing it and felt bad about it. You have one shot to save your marriage, which is to put a stop to it and close it. It's probably not going to work and your marriage is probably over. You need to be prepared for that. If it makes you feel better, the marriage was over when she decided she wanted to sleep with other people, so whether you agreed to it or not doesn't really matter.

It's so blatantly a trollpost I'm amazed you didn't pick up on it sooner. Like, no one is that much of a clueless, selfish wasteman. No one. I refuse to believe it.

Part of me does want to be real though, if only for the wife to follow through, divorce his worthless arse and take him to the cleaners.

It's an obvious troll.
  • No self awareness coupled with a gratingly arrogant attitude
  • 210 K a year income but their house is too small to put up like 6 people
  • 210 K a year income and a couple hundo on food is out of control costs
  • Any amount of money spent on MTG is just fine though
  • A group of unemployed useless loser friends that have plenty of money for MTG but can't scrape together cab fare
