Why won't my wife compromise? I thought marriages were supposed to be compromises.

"I thought marriages were supposed to be compromises."

When a man says I do, he just made a compromise. The last one he will ever be allowed to make with his new wife.

Sorry, you got suckered into marriage like the rest of us idiots.

So, we're trying to save a little money. I eat protein powder and have a few 10lb tubs kicking around. I had what I think is a bright idea to start using these as mini-potties in the house. Basically, only for #1, we'll fill these and instead of flushing down lots of water (read: $$$), once these are full, we dump it and start again.

My wife was against this from the start. She refuses to partake. So I say ok, fair enough, we'll compromise. Instead of waiting until this potty tub is full, we'll wait until it's half-full. I only asked her to meet me half way, but nope she says no potty-buckets in our house.

I don't get women. They complain when we spend money on beer and then won't even less us piss that beer into a money-save potty-bucket.

considering that the wife in question is a nurse, I'd say you're lucky the poor woman didn't have a seizure over your suggestion. YUCK!!!
 
Silly skoorb, trying to lure women away from their indoor plumbing *shakes head*


I can't even get my wife to accept CFL bulbs in the house to save on electricity. "They take too long to turn on!" /facepalm
 
FOOOL. Should have started off w/ demanding to do #2. THen offer to meet her half way with jsut #1. Then make it look like you're taking a bit sacrifice by agreeing to just half full dumping
 
You fail at marriage. Compromise means that she gets what she wants...YOU have to make the concessions.
(married for almost 34 years...but I still don't know all the rules...everytime I THINK I do, they change.) :roll:
