If I were alone evenings, I'd be watching Pawn Stars / American Pickers / American Restoration / Counting Cars on almost endless loop. As a couple, we binge interesting series on Netflix.

Isn't compromise just what you do in any relationship? Mrs D is tidier and cleaner than me, firmer with the kids. I compromise by trying to keep to her higher standards, she compromises by doing more of the dirty work. She gets things the way she likes them, I get a beautiful home, great kids and a wife who's a much better and nicer person than I am. I sit with her and chat and watch her bloomin' competitive cooking programmes and comedy panel shows, she indulges me in getting to pretty much whatever matches I want to get to. I get a study filled with football memorabilia and books, she gets a fancy piano. I'll buy her tickets and bring her to a musical which I'll dislike strongly but not let on, she'll tell me to go to Iceland to see Dundalk in the Champions League. It's NOT a this-for-that rulebook, you do this and I'll do that, it's just constant compromise. That's normal innit?Last edited by seand; 11-02-2019, 17:10.

(This isn't *mundane or anything like it, but I am shit at using the search engine function, here)
'Im Indoors, has just let me know how his day has been. I'm half-asleep etc (Celtic), and then I think, 'hang on, he's just said something important' and it is that he has been going to a Chinese doctor for alternative treatment.
Now, I am a relaxed nutter, so I listened, and when he replied to my question "Does it help?" he said, no.
I wondered why we were broke. 27 weeks, twice a week, $100 per session. ... Yeah, that one.
But at least now, I am listening, so it works.
*Wrong thread, and realising that I CAN do the search thing.
