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

They want you to talk it out.
It drives me fucking nuts, because we just do what she wants anyway, but apparently we have to talk about the decision over and over first.

**fastfred** · 12-06-2019, 10:08 AM

she walks in the door carrying a new pair of skis 115 underfoot and sets them next to her 8 other pairs of skis by the front door
I say, "those are big skis"
"I'm a big skier" she snarks back

at least she never has to pay retail

**XXX-er** · 12-06-2019, 10:13 AM

This is how they talk to one another

They don't really care what kind of food

or what y'all are doing

they really just want you to talk to them

Me: "Don't care."

Turn that around ^^^ - it'll drive her BANANAS. Which probably won't work out well for you, but think of the satisfaction!

Who do you work for????

But no opinion IS an opinion right?

Wife- “what do you want for dinner”

Me- “what are the options?”

Wife- “yadda yadda yadda”

Me- “yadda # 1 sounds good”

Wife - “ I don’t want yadda #1”

Me - “which one sounds good to you”

Wife - “yadda #4”

Me - “mmm, sounds good, I’ll take it”

I faked an opinion to get her to make the decision....baby Yoda mind control shit.

It is the way.

I responded that I was probably not the right person to ask since I have 1 pair of pants, 1 shell, and 1 puffy, and have been using them for 3 seasons with no intention of changing anything. Apparently that was not the right answer and Ms Boissal is now annoyed at me, apparently because my text could be construed as a suggestion that she has too many jackets and pairs of pants.

FML, I should have kept my mouth shut and used her Dynafit pants when mine finally die, she'd never notice and I really like teal.

Attachment 304654

What I see is the light colors that are highly susceptible to dirt while getting out of the car, damn near anywhere you brush up against, black glop off the chair cable and if that don't kill it ... fashion will

back in the day I bought a wine colored shell cuz it was the in color, the next season its out so I realized the chi chi colors date whatever you are wearing cuz anybody can see you are so last year at a glance

BUT a primary color its timeless cuz it just is what it is ... never in style to begin with .

black pants will look the same today as they did 10 yrs ago,

black will make anybodies ass look smaller

maybe not a black layer up top but would a primary color kill ya?

I still have the wine colored shell fro 30 yars ago, i realize I never really liked it anyway so I try to kill it on shitty jobs ... its got bar oil splash

Black is the new black.

And always has been.

**riser4** · 12-06-2019, 11:37 AM

I ski in as much black as I can find. My latest boots are blue. :/

LOL@ skittle

**XXX-er** · 12-06-2019, 12:41 PM

my mother learned very quickly not to put pants on little xxx-er that were not dark cuz he always came back dirty,

of course dark was still dirty but they don't look dirty SO black pants always/only

more often than not its fucking cold up here and black ski pants will also absorb sunlight/are warmer

MY buddy hates his white Mastrale's cuz he thinks they make him look like a Calgary stampeders cheer leader

Damned thread full of cross-dressers here. I'm going back to the sourdough thread. Much more wholesome.

**EWG** · 12-06-2019, 01:38 PM

It is impossible to overstate how funny it is that a thread that started out as a bunch of guys bitching about their wives and their wives' clothes has turned into a thread of guys going on and on about what color ski outfits they like.

Fantastic

Aren't you in an open relationship?

No we’ve tried the other way:

Me: Let’s go to that Thai place!

Her: maybe, what other options do we have. Local or drive? Get back to me with some options.

Now I’m on open table and yelp and it’s a whole other project, fuck it

Let’s play game #1 instead

Buddy gave the boots to his grandkids and they fixed up the boots with a bunch of toddler art using crayons ... looks cool

My girlfriend has 2 years of ski touring experience. She just figured out you’re supposed to loosen your buckles when in tour mode. I feel somewhat personally responsible for not teaching her, but Jesus, i didn’t know that was a thing you needed to learn. The upside is she likes ski touring a lot more and keeps up on the ski track.

**RootSkier** · 01-22-2020, 12:48 PM

Friend 1 is meeting Family 2 in Mexico. Family 2 is already departed and one of the kids has diabetes and forgot something he needed from Costco. Friend 1 is NOT a Costco member. My wife had to deal with an allegedly huge hassle to take our kids to Costco to meet Friend 1 to get life-saving supplies for Family 2's kid on a hot deadline before Friend 1's flight. I cannot overstate the level of hassle this apparently was.

At home later, I ask Mrs. Rootskier if what they needed was from the pharmacy. She said yes. I told her you didn't need to be a member to use the pharmacy. She got PISSED and told me they demanded her card before they would sell whatever it was the kid needed. Like, I have rarely seen her this mad. Being the genius that I am, I pulled up https://customerservice.costco.com/a...ption-drugs%3F on my phone to show her and she got even more pissed, telling me I didn't need to be fucking right all the time.

Now we haven't spoken in two days except to deal with the kids.

Marriage is fucking great!

Don't get married, kids.

**AK47bp** · 01-22-2020, 12:51 PM

Well she was wrong, you told her she was wrong and then you rubbed it in her face by sending the link.

I’d of done the same thing.

I dunno, I keep my boots tight in tour mode to avoid blisters.... works fine.
