To think that after 6 years of marriage my husband might know how I take my tea?

Or even care about making a cup I would enjoy?

I like: strongish, one sugar, one sweetner.
He makes (on the rare occasion he makes me one): so weak it's barely tea, half a sugar - unstirred. For me, undrinkable. If I'm in the kitchen I go back, stick the tea bag back in (if he's left it in the ramekin we use for the purpose) add a sweetner etc. I might as well have made it myself. If I'm working 2 floors up it generally goes untouched.

I know, it's hardly assault and battery, but it makes me feel like he doesn't really know me or give a toss, y'know?

It's not as much if a problem ad it might be. His usual trick is to say - would you like a cup if tea? And then do nothing whatsoever about it. To the point that I think it's his way if saying "Would you like a cup if tea? Oh, good, you can make one for me while you're at it".

Oh, and he made HIS HALF if the bed yesterday. I mean, really?!

I probably am BU. But he's really getting on my tits just at the mo.

Boys can still be boys. But, we hopefully instill how to treat a girl.

Hehe, saucy Grin

Small pre-bed liquid refreshment only.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:47

Snacks, snacks.... I want some too.

Hope you dont mind me asking but are you both in good relationships. Sounds like you are

AgentZigzag · 10/12/2011 03:51

Aye, married 11 years and I've not stabbed him in the ear with a screwdriver yet so far so good.

What about you fuzzy?

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:53

Sounds great to me then.. No, that hasn't been the case here. Just got shot of someone. All good though.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 03:56

as in not crying in my soup and didnt stick the screwdriver in his parts.

MrsWembley · 10/12/2011 03:58

'Scuse me f'r'asking, but is this the drunk thread? Only I was jus' looking for an argument and this isn't wha' I expected.

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 03:59

Nah, was married for 16 years but mistress No.3 was a bridge too far, but am happy with the way things are. He makes a far better ex & father than he was as husband & father so I'm a cheerful soul.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:00

It may well be a bit of a squffy thread on my side but no argument here, would you like one? I'll try if you want to.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:01

Once a cheat always a cheat huh spermy.

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 04:03

That's prob another thread, but I'd have to day yes.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:03

Blimey spermy 16 years, I cant even go 2 and I get pissed off with the male thing.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:05

Not meaning anything awful here by way agent, it's just alluded me that's all.

I was brought up by a wonderful father.

MrsWembley · 10/12/2011 04:05

Right then...

DS back to sleep, so I'll leave you to your squiffyness. Enjoy the rest of the night.Grin

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 04:06

Mrs wembley just butt out. If you've come for a fight then this isn't the right place.

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:08

cracks up. Yes bog off Mrs Wembley. We were female bonding

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 04:11

Mrs, I didn't post that the way I meant to, but you'd already found the wiser option so just enjoy what's left of your night x

NeuromanticisedVisionsofXmas · 10/12/2011 04:12

So this is where y'all are hiding, Chat is a ghost town.

Can I bond? I'm not drunk but I am naked and coated in glue.

takingbackmonday · 10/12/2011 04:13

OP - does he know what wine you like?

DP has no idea how I have my coffee (black, unadulterated)

But he knows very well I do not touch chardonnay (oaked or unoaked, still sulphur to me) or merlot.

takingbackmonday · 10/12/2011 04:13

Neuro - i'm drunk, just home, want to chat shite?

takingbackmonday · 10/12/2011 04:14

glue...... Xmas Confused

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:14

what did you mean to post then spermy, did you have a girly fight earlier?

NeuromanticisedVisionsofXmas · 10/12/2011 04:15

I always talk shite, drunk or not. Am regrettably sober though, I'm writing to a deadline in a few hours!

Did you go anywhere nice?

fuzzynavel · 10/12/2011 04:17

Just home TBM, you damn tollop

Spermysextowel · 10/12/2011 04:18

I was supposed to do a big tongue/cheek grin with a strikeout in the right place but it's not easy on the iPhone.
