To say marriage is hard?

Even when you're married to someone who is wonderful most of the time...When you tell them something is upstairs in a cardboard box under the master bed (also the cardboard box is lengthways so might not appear much but that's it...) and they come down having retrieved a different (not useful) item from the plastic box under the spare bed...I just think any court of law should pardon actions caused by the resulting exasperation.

Definitely!! I love my husband, but, at the same time, nobody can annoy me more than he can. They do say that there is a thin line between love and hate.....whoever said that was definitely married😂

The whole idea is weird if you think about it. Everyone knows that house guests go off after three days, but you're expected to live with some fucker until death. Make it make sense.

Marriage hard? What an odd thing to say...

I love DH deeply but my God, he can annoy me! It’s the not listening or appearing to absolutely take on board everything I’m saying yet not have a clue later on! Grrrr!

Yes, even when you give a detailed description of where it is they still can't find it. Maybe what they really mean is "please go fetch the thing, I am too blokey to bother" 🙄. I'm not complaining though, I have a lovely DH.

"Do we have any....***"

My sweet....we have access to the same cupboards/shelves/fridge/rooms so - and I say this with the greatest love and respect - WHY IN THE LIVING F**K DON'T YOU GO AND LOOK YOURSELF BEFORE ASKING ME??

See also: I can't find the thing that is 3 cms from my face, but behind that other thing, ergo I will NEVER EVER find it and must assume it was absorbed by The Matrix aliens and buy 7 more of the thing.

It's only hard if you cannot get the hang of give and take. Unfortunately many people can't comprehend compromising. My friend reckons it's because most people have lived alone these days before marriage!

Of course certain things can be annoying but you need to both let them brush over you

I’m on my second one and haven’t found this one hard.
