I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

[riser4]

Why? Is this some level of computer nerdery I haven’t descended to yet?

For UNIX and Linux admins, yes.

[old goat]

Working from home I get to overhear the wifey complain about her computer issues.

She leaves her work computer on 100% of the time. We go on vacation for a week, computer stays on.

I suggest “maybe try restarting it at least once a week” - not that I know dick about computers but I do this regularly and have zero issues.

She gets defensive of course.

The whole “just listen to my problems and try to empathize instead of trying to fix problems” part of marriage is tough.

How did we marry the same woman?

For UNIX and Linux admins of a certain age, yes.

Fixed!

Is this anything like releasing the Kraken?

[Gcooker]

A long uptime is a point of pride.

Not many wives would complain about that...

It’s not about the nail

You finally figured out she's a dood.

I second plugboots on this one. This response is also perfect for the thread topic.

it is funny, I will give credit here. That said....it's also a dumb boomer joke. For those who think women are all dumb, jokes on you guys actually for marrying someone with the brain of a gerbil. There are a million functional, smart competent women out there, too bad they aren't interested in you. If i can marry one, I thought ANYONE could.

Either way though smart or dumb: marriage is hard. hence this thread.

Oh, ffs, my wife’s a valedictorian, dual major, 3 post-grad degrees, never got a B and she’s still crazy.


Edit to add: I still love her and all, blah blah blah

My marriage got so much better after leaning the phrase

"That sounds... really hard."

nodding helps too

[liv2ski]

I just like to tell me wife how smart she is when she gets it right, cuz there are plenty of times I ask her if she is a fucking moran.
Super well educated, but jeeze, not a lot of real world practical experience, which is my fault for doing everything for her

[Marshall Tucker]

what a JONG.

Works for about the first 10 years.

Then she starts in with the "you never really listen to me you just nod" shit for the next 10.

There is, in all seriousness, a nice balance that at least in our case came with them going off to college. Now we just sit and immitate each other for entire conversations. Example.

Me imitating her"oh i made this wonderful pot roast you never care what i cook"
her imitating me "great pot roast wonder what my dick would feel like in it"
Me imitating her "but will the pot roast listen to me. I mean really listen."
her imitating me "I CAN'T FIX EVERY GODDAMNED THING AND THE POT ROAST"

etc.

Now *this* is an example of a successful relationship!

Gotta crack up about the freak-outs where they ask for help but obviously don't listen to said help. Wife was on the road to do a presentation. Calls me up freaking out that she can't find her laptop charger.
Wife: I can't find my charger! WHERE COULD IT BE?!
Me: Have you looked in your laptop bag's pocket where you put the charger?
Her: OF COURSE I LOOKED THERE!
Me: Well, look again.
Her: Ok. NO! IT'S NOT IN THERE!
Me: Welp. Good thing your laptop has a USB-C port. Hook it up to your phone charger. Will take longer, but should be good enough for now.

Wife gets home. I help her unpack and lo and behold. There the charger was. EXACTLY where I told her it would be. /facepalm Thankfully laptop battery is good for a full day.
And yes, muted. I know she's incredibly smart. It was just the female equivalent of when us men try and find something in the fridge. We can be staring something at something directly in the fridge and it still remains impossible to find. Haha. So I know we're not immune from such phenomena. Was still a funny moment in marriage, though. Had to laugh.

I'm gonna try this. 10 years of success is a long time!

[Core Shot]

Well duh.

When a roast comes out of the oven it needs to rest.
