QuietRiot Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 ...when he thinks it's not even a real job. At work, I had come across this husband that was doing a task for the household. He was picking up something, when I explained to him the details and terms/policies, etc etc. He is like "Dude, I'm just here to pick up such-and-such, I let my wife worry about that stuff". So he just signs stuff, being willfully ignorant of what he's signing off on. He even felt put out by the task he had to do since it was required. Then he says some derogatory remark about his wife's job, that isn't really a "job". Something about a Herbalife distributor or one of those MLM health products sales stuff. That he apparently is the breadwinner and from his attire, I could tell he was a blue collar worker. But, I dunno, and I thought to myself "Wow he's a real catch". And men wonder why they show up at their home's with their wive's bags packed. At any rate, have you come across spouses that make disparaging remarks about their counter parts?

basil67 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) If I was working customer service, this wouldn't even be a blip on my radar. Best not to make a mountain out of a molehill. Edited March 26, 2021 by basil67 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Happens all the time. It's none of my business even if I happened to hear the comments. Heck, just this week I disparaged my DH to a contractor's wife. Contractor came over to give us an estimate on landscaping. Two days earlier I walked DH around the yard pointing out what needed to be done. The morning the contractor was coming over I emailed DH my wish list so he could hand it to the contractor. When I called to find out why 3/4 of what I wanted done wasn't in the estimate the contractor's wife told me he told her that my DH was absolutely clueless about what had to be done & never gave him the list. So I made some comment about deaf, dumb, clueless man, as in can't live with him, can't kill 'em . It was me grumbling. The foundations of my marriage aren't in trouble but I did get DH to admit that he wasn't paying attention when we walked the property in advance of the contractor coming. 😒 1 Link to post Share on other sites
