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.
i mean you’re an adult, you can buy your own jar and enjoy whatever you like in parallel, why are people like that?
… It’s a JOKE for fuck’s sake.
maybe what i wrote too… ? idk man it’s the internet we’re here to shitpost, it’s a meme community
Funny joke. Boomer go Ha Ha.

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.
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?

“We couldn’t possibly buy two jars of peanut butter.”
Someone I listen to loves peanut butter but his partner is allergic, so he doesn’t have peanut butter anymore. I know the stakes are higher, but it’s more valid to match the solution. This post feels almost like intentionally suffering to make yourself a Martyr when the solution is very simple.
Peanut allergies are often sensitive enough to be triggered by trace amounts of peanuts in the environment, so completely eliminating it to keep a partner safe makes sense. The OP is clearly depicting a toxic variety of hetero relationships where guys refuse to make an effort at compromise and just say “my wife always gets her way.”
I hate people like this because they’re just miserable on purpose.
My partner doesn’t like Marmite and I do. Solution, I buy Marmite and she doesn’t eat it.
Just buy the peanut butter you like, as well.
It is just peanut butter, not like he gave up on his hobbies. Unless ofcourse peanut butter is the one thing he is living for. To me it sounds like he can’t be bothered to deal with two jars of peanut all the time so he just said “eh fuck it”
It’s just boomer humour, haha wife bad BS.
I do the shopping, i buy her smooth and me crunchy. How is that difficult? Love does not require suffering.
why not just buy your own peanut butter?
We do that, similar situation and 2 different peanut butters. Also if your SO likes something why not buy it for them.
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…
That settles it. The straights are absolutely not OK. I need no other evidence.
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.
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.
My son likes creamy, husband likes crunchy, so I stock both?
Husband did give up sour cream, but If he wanted it so bad, hes get it himself or ask me. I dont like blue cheese, yet we always have it in the house.
This is dumb.
ya for condiments everyone literally can just have their own jar. You are not required to use everything someone else used.
Wife bad. Haha.
Are the straights ok?
I don’t think they have been for some time…
Smooth peanut butter if you like crunchy is just a minor disappointment. Crunchy if you like smooth is like eating gravel paste.
