Alright married folks, confirm or deny?

[TippyThomas]

I had written a reply, but decided it was too off color for a family friendly site

Well then, I agree again.

Add waiting until I go into the bathroom and THEN yelling from another room.

35 years here.

 

[mikehn]

Im not married but for the life of me I cant understand it when my SO talks to me and asks me questions while Im brushing my teeth. Maybe one of the ladies on here can educate me on that one.

 

[Boopuff]

90% of marriage is give and take and having a sense of humor. 27 years here.

Ha, I sent my husband a pic of this very towel when I was at Cracker Barrel a few months ago.

My DH waits until I leave the house or he leaves the house and then he calls me. He was just standing in front of me and didn't tell me what he wanted to say or ask me what he wanted to know.

31 years married.

 

[MICKIMINI]

Yes! We built a fairly big home not quite two years ago. I often "disappear" to fold laundry or some other chore and DH has no idea where I am up, same floor or down... Sometimes I can hear him talking like I am in the same room and yet he doesn't know I'm four rooms away ha, ha! I'll be there in "just a minute" (loudly) is a common reply. I wish I had it on a tape recorder so I could just hit a button as I am rolling my eyes. I thought it was just us LOL!

EDIT 43 YEARS!

 

[VGCgroupie]

Yep!

 

[AustinTink]

I’m deaf in one ear from a congenital issue and have age-related hearing loss in my other ear. Each day is as follows:

Him: Yells something very loudly at me
Me: “Don’t yell at me”
Him: “I’m yelling because you’re deaf”
Me: “Oh yeah.”

Rinse and repeat.

Especially after you both are retired

Especially after you both are retired

For sure!

 

[AustinTink]

She says I talk to long to explain something.

My husband is often called verbose by work friends. You and he would get along great. You would never get to the end of your respective stories.

51 years here

 

[goofyernmost]

After 29 years communication apparently wasn't our thing. She left and never even mentioned that she might. Just a three word note. "I have gone". Took me totally by surprise, but if I were to be honest, the weight of a thousand elephants came off my shoulders that day. Wait, you don't suppose it was all those elephants that made her leave do you?

 

[NC Belle]

Technically still married...in the good days.... yes..many times of yelling what. My parents having being yelling what for 55 years...just louder with hard of hearing.

NGL, it happens a lot around my house

 

[Luv Bunnies]

We used to have a larger, 2-story house. Between the kids and my husband, it seemed like someone was always yelling my name to find me, usually from up or downstairs. I finally told everyone that I would not respond to yelling. If they really needed me, they should come and find me. That helped a little. Now that we've downsized to a 1-story townhome and one of the kids moved across the country (although he still calls me everyday, not that I mind!), the yelling has mostly stopped.

A major thing I've learned after 37 years of marriage: You don't have to do everything together. You don't have to eat the same meals. We rarely do when we're at home. If one of us cooks chicken, we make our own preferred side dishes and it's OK. We don't have to go everywhere as a couple. He's into community theater and wants to see all the shows he's not in. If I'm not interested in the show, I tell him to buy a ticket and go by himself. He always finds plenty of theater friends there, or he can volunteer to be an usher and see the show for free. I get an evening to hang out by myself. It works out for both of us. It's OK to spend time doing your own thing once in a while.
