I think my marriage might be over

My wife and I have been together for a while so I thought we knew how to work out all of our problems. You always hear about people who get blindsided with the ending of a relationship. How could they not know that about the other person? How could they not see that coming? Won't happen to us - nope. We're different

Wrong.

So this morning we were eating breakfast at a local restaurant. I thought it was for a special occasion but in hind sight she probably just wanted a public place when she dropped the bomb on me. The conversation started out innocently enough. She told me she liked something and I said it couldn't be as good as something else. That's when she reached into my chest with her cold emotionless hands and ripped my still beating heart out, threw it on the ground and laughed while she stomped on it

"A Waffle could never be as good as a pancake"

WHAT?!

My pleas for sanity and logic were coldly disregarded as she persisted with this nonsense. I was flabbergasted. This was the person who semi-regularly made me waffles and homemade syrup. My world was shattered. The whole thing was a sham. Was she thinking of pancakes while we ate waffles together? :sob:

So - thats it. Its over. 12 years of my life wasted and nothing but a dreary bleak lonely future to look forward to...🙁

Perhaps this was the work of the evil township waste management lady? Oh - shes good. She's real good...
 
> "A Waffle could never be as good as a pancake"

It just means your "skills" aren't good enough, but maybe you can learn.

Plan a "date night" where you show her the wonders of freshly-made Belgian waffles with real whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

If that doesn't put the spark back into your marriage, there's always h & b.
 
Waffles are plainly superior, because the have all those wonderful little syrup-collectors built in.

I think this is clearly a case of different life philosophies and goals. Make a clean break.
 
Don't worry, one day we shall achieve victory over the pancake-ites and condemn them to eternity in the syrup mines.
 
Lawyer up.
Hit the gym.
Delete your Facebook.

If she thinks pancakes are superior then she is clearly out of her mind...

Maybe a restraining order as well.
 
Perfect pancake -> Perfect Waffle -> Ok waffle -> Ok Pancake

Waffles are slightly more forgiving. But the perfect pancake is a gift from the diner gods. There's something about that pancake you can get from greasy spoon diners that is just the ultimate combination of ever so slightly crispy surface, but light and fluffy inside that has a heaping gob of butter and then you can drench it with syrup for a mouth full of win.

Waffles just aren't that special when you get a "perfect" one. They are easier to do "ok" and have syrup collection units built in that further mask imperfections in their production.
 
I came in here prepared to offer consolation to a genuinely distressed person. Instead I see a really lame and misleading post that wasted 2 minutes of my life.

OP is a douche.

I do put some of the blame on myself. She was always the one making the waffles and they were enough for me. Sadly it seems I was not more attentive to her needs. If only she has said something!

I know. I could never watch her eat waffles again without worrying she was thinking of pancakes. Without that trust we have nothing.
