while the soap part of it wont ever spoil, by the time you use 1/2 of what you bought... the scent will change or fade so much that it will be like using regular $1.00 stuff. Maybe she knew this.

and I dont use a separate shampoo... this is all purpose stuff.

Ok, I see, you got the mini bottle size kind. I buy the 6 gallon a bottle size ones from Costco.


6 Gallon??? I dont think that would fit on my soap shelf.

That's the only option that could possibly, nearly, almost make any sense.


Which is why I'm sure it doesn't apply.
 
Her time of month? 😛

But really though my fiancee gets all illogical when her monthly friend comes around and can drive me nuts.

 
I've tried to explain things like this to my wife. Generally it ends badly when I try to explain things like this to my wife. I no longer try to explain things like this to my wife. Moral of the story: If I don't bother trying to explain, she stays in a happy state of not knowing/caring why I bought what I bought so long as there is still money for shoes in the bank, and I get to stay on her good side.

Cliffs For the Reading Impaired:
1) I make purchases
2) Wife happy I leave money in bank
3) Happy Wife = Happy Me!

Only guys dont care about the scent intensity.

OMG THIS SCENT IS TOO MILD! *Throws away 20 bottles*

Uhh, that might actually work. Don't mask the he-man pheromones....


Should have let HER have the money saving idea. Men arent supposed to care about smelling good or saving money on household/toiletry goods!!
 
After six years, I've learned just to not bother explaining anything anymore. If she disagrees with something, I say, "Well, I'm doing it anyways because I actually know WTF I'm talking about." Then she goes to either her sister's or mother's for a week, and that's a win / win right there!
 
She's pissed because you just took over her duty of spending a lot of money on personal hygiene products. Her feminine standing in the household is being threatened.

Oh, I dunno about that. The OP obviously cared so much about this scent that he stockpiled all 22 available bottles when he learned it was being discontinued.

lmao, that sounds like my arrangement.
 
maybe the scent reminds her of the boyfreind that just dumped her.....man you sure can be incosiderate sometimes..how she stays married to an uncivilized monkey like you she will never know... 😛

 
It's going to take me a year two get through two bottles of some axe stuff my mom got me at costco. And yes, I shower everyday.
 
I laughed when i read this. I'm not laughin at you I think it kinda makes sense what you did, buying the stuff. I dont know I just thought it was kinda funny. 😛 Your wife will get over it, I'm sure. hehe
