What habits does your significant other have that bother you?

I'm posting the reference in case there are readers who are not familiar with this joke.

So the joke was that you were the manager when actually you were a dancer?

I no longer kiss-and-tell so that will remain a mystery.

Not my problem.

I don't know if others face that situation, we discuss something and she says yes, i can see your point. She may not do what we agreed up, so i thought when i say WE because eventually if not tomorrow or the day after, SHE WILL do what she had in mind in the 1st place, so that can be really really frustrated. When I protest i am being called Controlling person

At the mall, ask for a quarter to buy candy from one of those Machine and i was like don't let the baby see you with the candy(chocolate filled raisins), she said fine, then next thing you know the little one had some in his hand and crying for more.

Pics or it didn't happen!

So now you're up to checking out photos of someone else's wife. Tsk, tsk...

Well if she's so pretty people stop her to take pictures, I gotta see her myself to verify this! After all my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world, and if she's getting competition, well I just might have to do something about it.

My husband only wears three pairs of jeans to work. He's a software architect so there's not much moving around involved in his job. He has other pants but he particularly likes only three pairs of jeans when going to the office. We went to Calvin Klein once and he picked a new pair of jeans which he hasn't worn. Since he wears all the tees and shorts that I buy for him, I decided to order another pair of jeans online. He put it on for fitting when it arrived and it looked really good on him but he still ditched it. He said, "I have no respect for any clothing that's labeled 'Dickies.' What company names its brand Dickies?" I've given up trying to persuade him to get new jeans.

Get him a pair of Levis Vintage Clothing 501 1947 jeans. http://www.levisvintageclothing.com/products/1947-501-jean-47501.html Raw, unsanforized selvedge denim. They are the old fashioned denim jeans that shrink to fit, back from when I was younger and you weren't born yet. Buy them one waist size bigger and 3" longer in the inseam. Soak them in hot water for a few hours before wearing them, then hand them and let them dry. Wear a few times a week for 6 months to a year before washing. Awesome fades.

Or he can try out a pair of Levis shrink to fit 501 jeans for about $54. It's fun and they mold to your body. Tell him Levis invented jeans, and they are based in San Francisco. I can give you more information than you would possibly care to know.

Sounds about right to me. I keep wearing the same three pairs of jeans to, even if there's a dozen in my closet. I think my wife has about 36 pairs, and I think must wear at least 40 different pairs each week. *Yes I know that doesn't make sense, but since when did anything a woman does have to make sense?*

BTW if my wife bought me a pair of Dickies, I'd have the same reaction. I know they're supposed to be good, but I keep my dickie in my pants, not on my pants.

Thanks for the interesting suggestions. I'll give more attention to that again after my N-400. Right now I feel that I have too many things to do. But seriously not wash his jeans for half a year? I doubt I can let that happen. I wash his three pairs every week.

Nutty professor!

Well, there's this popular adage in the Philippines that teaches, "Collect and collect and then select" often pronounced as "Kolek und kolek und den selek." That's supposed to apply to having boyfriends but we've learned to follow that when it comes to collecting or nearly hoarding bags/purses, shoes, and clothes. You may ask your wife if she recalls that particular maxim.

You'd be surprised how clean you can keep them if you really want to. You have to be really careful when eating, place a towel in your lap or take your pants off. I've got a pair of Levis I've been wearing for almost 5 months now and they don't need to be washed yet. Of course I've got the long winter here so sweating isn't a problem for several months of the year. The longer you go before the first wash, the better they look after they are washed.

[Caryh 5,206]

A Filipina not washing things? Nah, ain't going to happen.

My wife even finished the saying lol. Apparently in here area its what playboys say, not the the filipina way. Or at least they don't admit they collect suitors

There goes your dirty little secret. I can probably not wash something for six months as long as it's only worn once a month.

This talk on jeans reminds me of a guy I briefly dated who doesn't put on any type of underwear except when he's playing badminton, or ball games, no pun intended. I think your technique of not washing jeans will never work on him.

I knew there were so many reasons why nothing ever worked before I met my adorable husband.
