My wife married into my Warhammer collection. We have a Warhammer room. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even like Warhammer but has her own painted figurines.

We compromised by having no kind of peanut butter! (Our kid is allergic)
I slowly wore my vegetarian wife down in to eating bacon and steak, and she taught me how to cook more fish and veggie only meals. Still cant get her to watch Anime with me though 😔
That’s pretty gross to own up to ngl, assuming your wife was vegetarian based on ethics
She was veg because that’s how she grew up, its not like I brainwashed her or something lol. Just being around a meat-eater led to her trying more meat and liking it.
I mean you’re the one that said you “wore [her] down”, your word choice
Sometimes hegemony arises and spreads through proximity, not agitprop.
One time, while on dispatch for a client, I was stuck on the phone with their ISP. Behind me were all of the company interns, arguing about peanut butter.
It’s always stuck with me for two reasons. 1: One guy was arguing that crunchy peanut butter was like regular peanut butter, but with added wasps. 2: I regret every day that I did not ask the Comcast guy to weigh in over the phone.
crunchy peanut butter was like regular peanut butter, but with added wasps.
I have so many questions about what that guy thought peanut butter is, and what it’s made of.
Yeah, the wasps thing had me thinking he might’ve had an allergy, but probably wouldn’t be eating smooth peanut butter either then…
He was probably confusing peanut butter with figs.
…You know what? That makes as much sense as anything else I can think of.
I think he really just didn’t like the texture. I can’t see the reasoning still, but I’ll admit at the time, his argument swayed me.
this guy can still eat nuts and here he is complaining… smdh
Maybe you should do the shopping then someday.
My dad likes crunchy peanut butter, and my mom likes smooth. I grew up in a two peanut butter jar household. Despite decades of that, they are still married today.
Some say it’s impossible
I solved the problem by liking both.

Can relate, then at some point I realized, she barely ever eats peanut butter. So now we still have almost exclusively smooth.
why not just buy your own peanut butter?
My wife likes Skippy, I like Jif.
We keep a jar of each around and use each other’s in a pinch.
I do love the Warhammer comparison though. My wife and I have a D&D collection. She does not play D&D. Her part of the collection is the Lego D&D minifigs.
Do those brands actually taste any different?
We do that, similar situation and 2 different peanut butters. Also if your SO likes something why not buy it for them.
Funny joke. Boomer go Ha Ha.
Relationship dysfunction is just assumed to be an unalterable, unavoidable feature of reality for Boomers, so, much of their humor is literally them coping with their inability to be fully functional people.

In I guess fairness to them: What do you expect from a generation raised by parents with undiagnosed PTSD?

“Let me tell you something. I have not controlled a SINGLE financial decision in this house since 1987 and I am PAYING for it. I put a ROOF over this woman’s head for 40 YEARS and somehow SHE controls the checkbook. Every week she does the shopping WITHOUT me, like I am not the one whose PENSION is funding the whole OPERATION. I fought for this country and I cannot get a peanut butter with some TEXTURE because apparently BARBARA knows best about EVERYTHING now.”
Exactly. It’s that tired old stereotype that you either have to have an adversarial relationship with your SO, or let them have their way all the time… Did you not both agree to a partnership!?
I think it’s from a time when people(both men and women, but mostly women) married for social and economic reasons. Those reasons kept people in relationships who had long since checked out.
Now it resonates with fewer people because women can leave bad relationships more easily.
That’s also why I assume the manisphere is a thing because there are a lot of sour people who are upset they are not owed a person just for existing.
i mean you’re an adult, you can buy your own jar and enjoy whatever you like in parallel, why are people like that?
his wife does all the grocery shopping and he refuses to do domestic chores, so her revenge is never buying crunchy peanut butter
yup then it’s fully deserved and he’s not an adult, he’s a manchild
yep
I don’t think that’s fair as a blanket statement
… It’s a JOKE for fuck’s sake.
Jokes generally have to be true, on some relatable level, in order to be funny.
maybe what i wrote too… ? idk man it’s the internet we’re here to shitpost, it’s a meme community
Can you not just buy… two jars of peanut butter?
They are still working on emptying the 80 gallon drum of smooth peanut butter they got at their wedding.
A healthy relatinship is also one where both partners understand, respects and upholds the other’s right to have personal preferences and enjoy them.
The most basic show of respect here would be to have two separate jars of peanut butter, so both can enjoy their favorite.
Most people have pleasure when seeing their loved ones having pleasure themselves. It shows affection and care for the other and is a basic show of empathy.
It’s a good post for the laughs but it is a depressing admission for a relationship that long.
What are the consequences of the dude buying a separate peanut butter jar for him? Divorce? Accusations of lying and being unfaithful by thought?
There is a possibility that his preference for peanut butter isn’t that strong, and it’s easier to just stock one kind. It’s also possible she eats significantly more peanut butter than him, so his jar would sit unfinished for much longer, possibly separating out.
And if it’s something like that, it’d just be a funny way to state their situation.
If you’re going to get a divorce over peanut butter, you might be better off alone. But that’s just my political opinion.
I do the shopping, i buy her smooth and me crunchy. How is that difficult? Love does not require suffering.
Yeah some decisions require picking one or the other. A $4 jar of peanut butter doesn’t seem like one of those things.
You can add your own peanuts… all peanut butter is creamy in the beginning, that’s what they do to make it crunchy.
As a life-long peanut butter enthusiast who loves all kinds of peanut butter, I actually think this is BETTER than buying a jar of each. I keep a jar of regular peanuts and honey roasted peanuts for exactly this
Smooth peanut butter if you like crunchy is just a minor disappointment. Crunchy if you like smooth is like eating gravel paste.
