Why is he always better than me?

Buggerwugger · 17/10/2014 16:49

My husband is so nice to me he get me flowers all the time, cooks, cleans etc however im repulsed by him which is largely down to him being better than me at most things.

He's not competitive at all its really me. He beat me the other day at Dingbats, Don't Tip the Waiter and Kerplunk all in a row.

He's one of a twin and i'm considering divorcing him and cracking on to his brother who is my perfect man. I did date the brother years ago before but he became un interested when he went into the army. I settled for the other brother in the end.

Hahaha good one Grin

Letthemtalk · 17/10/2014 16:53

Ltb, I couldn't live with someone who beat me at Kerplunk.

ShakeYourTailFeathers · 17/10/2014 16:54

I just don't know where to start with this....

i'm just really hoping it's a joke I think...because if it's not it's very sad.

iwishiwasacat · 17/10/2014 16:54

Definitely divorce him. Find a useless, nasty loser with no skills or talent to marry instead! Then you will always be the best. Don't go for his twin, twins are always exactly the same. The brother will also be better than you at everything.

ithoughtofitfirst · 17/10/2014 16:56

"Twins are always exactly the same" Grin pmsl

God' that's awful. I couldn't cope with being beaten at Kerplunk.
I think it's over tbh.

Pagwatch · 17/10/2014 17:00

Could you compromise and have a go at mousetrap?

If not just play him at scrabble and find a way to work in 'Iamfuckingoffski'
He'll get the message and you will get a very high wordscore

BiancaYouMinx · 17/10/2014 17:02

Is he good at Hungry Hungry Hippos? That's the real decider.

ArkhamOffett · 17/10/2014 17:05

Monopoly? He beats you, he loses the actual house you live in.

Buggerwugger · 17/10/2014 17:06

This once we were playing monopoly (the Alan Turning edition) when i completely lost it through game out of the dormer window and never spoke to him for 2 weeks.

I have been to anger management coaching about it but ended up arguing with the tutor.

He says my rages are caffeine related however i only drink 6 cups or coffee a day

I would definitely LTB and take the Kerplunk with you

InkleWinkle · 17/10/2014 17:08

But could he beat you at Scrabble?

Buggerwugger · 17/10/2014 17:09

I had hungry hippos but my cat (T-Werk) swallowed all the little white balls

He managed to pass them the following day

Ram the Kerplunk up his arse.

PurpleWithRed · 17/10/2014 17:11

I think he is an insensitive bastard and should stop with the flowers and cleaning right now.

PurpleWithRed · 17/10/2014 17:11

(if he feels an uncontrollable urge to clean, cook or send flowers PM me and I'll send you my address)

Buggerwugger · 17/10/2014 17:11

Id love to Saucy Jack however i broke that in the dishwasher

OP posts:
GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 17/10/2014 17:12

I think I love you. Can we see a picture of T-Werk?

SaucyJack · 17/10/2014 17:12

You broke his arse in the dishwasher?

Wow. Just wow.

Buggerwugger · 17/10/2014 17:21

Ive requested a 'chat' with him tonight to basically leave him, i think he knows its coming after last weeks episode.

We tour the pub quiz circuit in my local borough, when right at the last minute he refused to be on my team. I was totally enraged and went out all night. He knew he was in the doghouse when i came in later that night and through all his stuff in the recycling.

I moved him out of my bedroom the following day and cancelled his Sky TV.

Hes 'away' on work again until tonight, ive changed the locks on porch, the van and have sold his classic car on ebay

He will not hamper my quiz winning abilities ever again!

OP posts:
alicelovesapples · 17/10/2014 17:23

Is he rubbish in bed? Perhaps winning is his way of overcompensating and feeling more manly, bit like the fast car / small penis thing

Stratter5 · 17/10/2014 17:25

Is this for real, or am I mssing some massive in-joke? Confused

Buggerwugger · 17/10/2014 17:26

We have not had any intimacy for a while, he does not like my dress up apparently.

I once had a 'sexy dice' outfit made he said i put him off his stroke
