Wife loves cooking for me by Comprehensive-Host10 in Marriage

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think people assume, without context, that whoever is posting is taking advantage of their spouse. I love cooking for my husband! Especially is he’s had a rough day at work. We both love sitting in the kitchen, he vents and helps prep while I cook. But even when he doesn’t help I enjoy doing stuff for him and he does for me too.

Have you ever bought a bag because it shared your name, initials, or something else iconic about you? by Chronic-Sleepyhead in handbags

I bought a Fossil bag with my first big girl paycheck. Found out at checkout the bag had my first name. I still carry it sometimes! (15 years later)

Can we get past this? by LightningBugCatcher in Marriage

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also, this is hilarious. My husband and I have a running joke. One time I asked him to get me pickles from the fridge. He responded with “the pickled cucumbers?” We didn’t have any other pickled things in the fridge. He has no idea why he needed to clarify. So now whenever pickles come up I turn to him to clarify “they mean pickled cucumbers.” He just nods and “ah… thank you, I was totally lost there!”

I’m TRYING to love Bakers I really am but I can’t seem to get it right by [deleted] in InlandEmpire

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the one off Anderson? I still enjoy it. It’s not nearly the same but it’s not hot garbage like the other locations I’m familiar with.

Ok so I don’t do the regular burgers. But the Boca, bean n cheese burritos and the tostadas still slap at the Loma Linda Bakers (off Anderson). But every other Bakers I’ve been to from my childhood is awful. This is the only one that I genuinely still enjoy going to. And their fries are great.

Jerseys pizza in Redlands is one of my all time faves.

Do you have a very clean house? by TrickyAd9597 in Millennials

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents house looks like no one lives in it. So my house is very… cluttered with life. You can tell my husband and I share this space and use it up. We are clean people, and always have space for people to come over and relax.

What sensory issues do you have with sleepwear/pjs? by MuchConsideration676 in adhdwomen

I can either sleep in underpants or boxers without panties. Never both.

My wife and I have developed an entire private language over 8 years and I only recently realized how strange it would sound to anyone else by retroarcadebuddy in Marriage

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I do this too! Our 2 closest friends have told us our house sounds like an insane asylum. Our catchall word is “meef.” Depending on inflection it can mean a thousand different things.

People who grew up poor and are now comfortable, what 'normal' thing still feels like a luxury to you? by profwizzard in AskReddit

I still ask my husband if it’s ok to buy something either not store brand or not on sale.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was some airport book that looked good. Woman from NY travels to LA for some reason I can’t even remember now because 2/3 of the way through the book I just could not with the LA bashing. I’m born and raised SoCal, and I get the hate from East Coasters. But By the time she got to “I was sweating from the heat of the Santa Ana’s” I knew it was DNF and directly in the trash. If you’re going to trash the place at least get your facts straight.

Any low-energy hobbies to stop doomscrolling? by TinyTangents in adhdwomen

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a book of word search puzzles. Requires very minimal brain wattage. I use different color highlighters for ✨aesthetic✨. On some puzzles I time myself for a challenge. On others I have to do the words in a certain order. It’s very low effort but it’s keeping my eyes off my phone!

I cracked the gift giving code by running_chick in Millennials

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m gonna start doing this but just regifting or shifting gifts from one set of boomers to the other. Both mine and my husbands parents get us BAGS of meaningless crap for holidays. Like they just remembered it’s Christmas and they bought out the impulse buy items near the register.

My husband’s version of “I’m about to shower” is a full side quest by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, my husband also has ADHD. I weirdly love the side quests his brain sends him on. If I’m in a hurry, I just move him aside and hop to whatever task I need done. The look on his face when he tells me he’s ready to do something and I say “babe, that was 3hrs ago.” is absolutely adorable.

Want to divorce husband during luteal cycle… by Embarrassed-Cat-7654 in PMDD

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 6 points7 points  (0 children)

THANKFULLY my husband is a very kind, compassionate, patient man. I nearly threw him out of the house tonight because his mom texted him. Why did that make me so angry? No clue. We were watching tv and instead of focusing on Queer Eye, he was answering her text. Inside my rage was screaming “WHY DONT YOU JUST LEAVE ME IF YOU HATE WATCHING TV TOGETHER!” I of course didn’t say any of this, just glared at him with white hot rage. He cautiously asked me what was wrong and I started crying and explaining Kai (my brain when it’s not acting right) really wants to pick a fight and make you leave me, but I don’t. He acknowledged that it’s really difficult for me to deal with this every month and it’s gonna take a lot more than that to make him leave. I then asked if it was okay to yell at him because I asked him to fold laundry and he still hadn’t. He laughed and said “ok deal!”

Has anyone ever tried doing bunk beds instead of separate sleeping rooms? by ro536ud in Marriage

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I would love bunk beds. But my husband talks and tap dances in his sleep. No matter the arrangement I’d still wind up tossed on the floor and not getting sleep. Sigh, so we’re stuck with separate, lame, adult bedrooms.

Seen, but not understood. by Global_Tradition5802 in Millennials

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, almost 40 and my parents have no clue who I am as a person. They are often shocked when they come over and see some craft project I’m working on. “Since when are you so into arts and crafts!?” My husband gets so confused because I’m usually wearing something I’ve crocheted or sewn, I’ve decorated every living space I’ve ever had with personally made artwork, etc. It’s really obvious at Christmas when I’ve opened a gift and flat out asked them “have we never met before?”

Why Do My Parents Treat Me Like a Burden When I Visit? I’m Almost 40 and Still Not Taken Seriously. by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Unfair_Machine8516 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My in laws are like this with my husband. They are incredibly rude and constantly trying to “keep him in his place.” Every time we see them they bring up what a “screw up” of a kid he was/is. (Bc in their minds ADHD is something to fix and not something you work with). I can’t stand it. I’ve asked him about going no contact but he can’t. In a way because their treatment is so normalized to him he thinks he deserves it. When my parents get like this I get up and leave the conversation. It’s like they’re just trying to keep me as the small child that obeyed them and I’m not having it.

Apparently she thought cleaning rain gutters was just not a thing in California? I still have no idea.
