not even a little bit the same. clothes and jewelry are objects and once sold can't necessarily be bought back. cable is a service that you can turn on and off. god you guys are stupid.

And he demanded to know specifically how often you wear each item. When you weren't able to provide him with a full accounting to his satisfaction, but you still explained that you just wanted them, he donated it all while you were at work one day.


Perfect!


Not really. The cable is an ongoing expense.


Fine. Then NO MORE jewelry and clothes beyond what was purchased, lest it become an "ongoing expense" as well. Do you women think about your stupid, double standards before you say them (or write them)?

Yeah...OP, I'm a DW here, and I have to say I think you should say you're sorry to your DH and then make sure you're the one to hang out at the house for 5 hours to wait for the Comcast guy to come back and re-hook your cable. The DH above who made the analogy about throwing out your clothes and shoes makes an excellent point.

TV and cable fall under Audio-Visual. These are a man's domain. The man-cave exists only because of cable, beer and sports. You just chopped off one of the legs. I completely understand your logic, but I also know how we think.

The cable is there just like a spare tire or a pair jumper cables are in the trunk. If I need em...there they are! Now, you've upset the universe and set in motion a chain of cataclysmic events that will culminate with him wanting to watch something on cable for the first time in months...and he won't have it. You destroyed the universe. Shame, shame, shame on you!

(He'll get over it)


WTH? Do people really think this way in 2014? I love cable. Like, in the living room. It's there, just like a tampon in the bathroom or lipstick in my purse.


AV-controlling, tool-owning, yard-maintenance-doing, car-fixing DW here. I believe (/hope) PP's tongue was planted firmly in cheek.


Both of you need help. It was a joke.

she canceled it BOOHOO he can fucking sign up for it again if he wants. it's her marriage, her home, her money and her CABLE SERVICE too. he wants to keep it without discussing it with her. that's stupid. married couples need to discuss things where bills are involved. if she feels like he's not watching the tv and he doesn't want to talk about it then OF COURSE SHE'S GOING TO BE THE GROWN UP AND TAKE CARE OF IT.


If you were my DW, I would kill myself.


Same here and I'm a woman.

We need a name for the Sad Shoulder Stoop gif guy, because this could be his wife posting.



This guy (feel sorry for him yet?):
