Things my husband asked me today (light hearted)

I can't imagine any neurodiverse person asking these questions, or how neurodivergence could be relevant to these types of questions.

Did you actually read the OP? Being away at sea wouldn't excuse any of the idiotic questions he asked or his incompetence over his pay emails. Being away at sea does not explain why he doesn't know that 2 litres and two pints aren't the same thing. Most children know that. And wrt his question about the dog walker - the OP says he was already aware of the arrangements. He's clearly either just an idiot or he's pretending to be one. I'm not sure which is worse.

Yes, tell him to remember the following rhyme:

A litre of water's a pint and three quarters.

I got sick of it I’m not his secretary!!! I started a couple of years ago saying “I don’t know have you checked xyz?” For everything even if I knew. Eventually he stopped asking. He still sneaks it in in other ways but on the whole has learnt to answer his own questions.

Tbf I’ve searched for my glasses whilst wearing them and tried to put another pair on top.
Otherwise im usually on the ball.

I have one of these. Didn't used to be like this but my god I don't know how we cope

I know this is meant to be light-hearted but this is grim. Embarrassing for him and I just wouldn't tolerate sharing my life with someone so incapable of simple tasks, what a waste.

Just occasionally, when I've had enough of saying 'what did I say last time you asked', I tell my (lovely) DH to use his own brain, not mine.

To be fair, the stupid questions he asks are usually stupid because he has already asked me the same thing, sometimes more than once. For things like appointments I make him put them in his phone diary, my appointments as well as his own, and I do that in mind as well, so if he asks when something is happening I just tell him to look in his diary.

Well if he's always been away at sea, and you have just taken on 99.9% of the domestic chores without communication, then I completely understand why he's asking these questions.

We both WFH some days, he works upstairs annd I work downstairs. DH’s favorite question to me when he pops down for a snack is “ What are you doing?”

Um, I’m on my laptop so I’ll give you one big guess…I’m working. Just as you are when you’re on your laptop upstairs. 🤣

🤣🤣

I do sometimes wonder how we coped without mobile phones, but these men take it to stratospheric levels.

I heard a nurse gently losing her rag about men the other day. She said that a lot of men have become so wrapped up in their own self-importance that they have forgotten entirely how to think at all. When are the kids birthdays? What about his mother? What food does the dog eat? Which vet does it go to? When is it due for shots? Are the kids due for vaccinations? What are we getting Cindysuelou from Mikeey’s class for her birthday? What meals can I cook for the week that cater for my darling family’s likes and dislikes when I’d really much rather sit down and have a glass of wine and my own damn charcuterie board……
Some men are so disconnected they need their wives to tell them to take their tablets… You ask them what the tablets are and they draw a blank. You ask them what they’re for…… Nothing. You ask them what their health problem is….. Just have to ask the wife. Utterly infantilised. She said that they get through life with exactly two decisions…. Do they like something or not? If they like it, they move towards it. If they don’t, they hop away from it like Frogger.

My husband called me to ask if the Robo Hoover would automatically do the stairs and then all of upstairs or if he should take it up.

alt take…

dows he just wanna chat with you?

Haven’t read all the posts but much of this doesn’t surprise me when you say he’s recently retired after being in the Navy 25 years- he’ll be totally institutionalised, used to having his food cooked for him, not thinking about management of domestic things, with people taking care of repairs, very fixed routines etc etc.

That's brilliant 😂

I love threads like these because when I get whimsical and think it would be lovely to be in a relationship again, I read these posts and say to self "For the love of God woman, snap out of it!"

This @ButtSurgery I’m laughing at ‘has to eat it’

Yeah it's not cute in their part at all.

I've a friend like this. He text asking if I had any spare tin foil when he lives next to two supermarkets and a londis type shop. He would have had to walk a mile to get to mine to avoid buying his own tin foil. I said no, as truthfully mine had run out, but I wouldn't have let him anyway, as the mental load is enough as it is. He stopped all the questions for a while and I relaxed my walls but has started again lately so he's being ignored now.

It's 100 percent weaponised incompetence and a form of control. If they were really that incapable the rest of the time, they would be in some form of supported accomodation.

But can't blame gender as my mum is also like this. I don't spend any time with her indoors any more. Even in her own home she will ask me questions every few seconds when cooking her own food in her own home about timings etc. Yet manages to eat. It's an utter refusal to be giving to others and make sure she always takes up space. Mansplaining at ita finest, it needs a new name though as women can do this as well.

Why are husbands still expecting their wives to iron their shirts?

At the risk of sounding all cat's bum face, I don't think this thread is funny. Why are they such incompetent man-children, and if they are this pathetic at work, then we know for absolute sure that sexism in the workplace is far far worse then we thought. I.e. how do they get and keep jobs when they have to ask women such things?

Where was the butter at lunchtime ?
In the same place in the fridge as it always is.
I’ve been out at work all day !
Normally he’s ok at managing house stuff .

What does your husband bring to your marriage OP?
