Happy marriage through compromise.
(feddit.uk)
My wife married into my Warhammer collection. We have a Warhammer room. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even like Warhammer but has her own painted figurines.
My son likes creamy, husband likes crunchy, so I stock both?
Husband did give up sour cream, but If he wanted it so bad, hes get it himself or ask me. I dont like blue cheese, yet we always have it in the house.
This is dumb.
Yeah, feels kinda like boomer energy. Gave up something unecessary to prove his love in a way that was never asked for, probably resents her for it or pulls that out as a talisman any time she brings up something she does care about because marriage isn't about partnership; it's a constant power struggle.
Chunky peanutbutter has gotten worse so I stopped getting it too.
Ensmoothification is real
A lot of people don't believe in a relationship that isn't a power struggle. They don't believe in relationships that are cooperative. Many people are seeking relationships where they dominate or are dominated.
I date. I meet plenty of women who tell me on the first date that I must give up something to prove to them my worth or dedication to them. Because the point of the relationship to her is for men to suffer for her sake, and anything the man pursues for his own personal happiness is a her losing out on what should be given to her.
This might include hobbies, friends, possessions, lifestyle choices, and pets.
I also meet women occasionally who basically want me to tell them how to dress, what to think, what friends to have, etc. Which is kind of the flipside.
ya for condiments everyone literally can just have their own jar. You are not required to use everything someone else used.
