"My boyfriend has a man-crush on the president. He has all sorts of presidential memorabilia around his apartment, commemorative plates, coins, signatures… you name it. I didn’t mind it so much when I moved in, but recently a friend gave my boyfriend an “Obama Condom”, where he found the silly thing I’ll never know, and he has the unfurled (unused) condom tacked to our bedroom wall right next to the laminated wrapper. I’ve asked him to take it down because I find having a condom on the wall really rather gross, he refuses and threatens to throw some of my treasures out if I so much as touch it. This has lead to some pretty heated arguments, and I’m about ready to move out because I’m just so fed up. Some of my friends think I’m over-reacting, but I don’t think they’re quite aware of the turmoil this thing has caused. Who’s in the right? Wife: 919/Husband: 136"

"So my girlfriend and I have recently got into an argument regarding my.. member… She states that because I am uncircumcised, it is not as pleasurable for her. All of her past partners have been circumcised and she prefers it that way. She also adds that it looks “freaky”. As a result, she requests that I make an appointment with.. a rabbi? and get my extra skin removed. I feel like it is there for a reason and it looks freaky when the extra skin is removed. If it wasn’t supposed to be there, it wouldn’t be! Go evolution. Who thinks she is crazy? Wife: 95/Husband: 898"

I disagree with this ruling:

"My wife and I are trying to eat healthier (go New Year’s Resolutions!) but we’ve come to a crossroads. My wife is a fantastic cook and I praise her cooking to everyone I meet. It’d be perfect except one thing: she refuses to cater to my simple requests. She likes to cook spinach with onions. I like spinach but hate cooked onions. Argument ensues. Tonight she cooked fish with rice and a spinach/onion death mix. I didn’t eat it and she told me that it’s the LAST time she’ll cook for me. To date, that’s probably the 906th last time, but anyways – I said “I’ll eat the damn spinach, just don’t cook it with onions”. Which she refuses to do so. Quick back story: she made mango salsa last night and used onions. It should have been called “Onion Salsa with Mango”, but that’s another fight. Am I being a picky eater or can she try to change up the side dishes so that we both can eat? Wife: 431/Husband:3099"

1/27/2011 2:42:13 PM

I side with the husband there too. If he hates cooked onions, and has hated onions, then maybe she doesn't need to try and force them on him.

1/27/2011 2:51:39 PM

Then he can cook his own damn side dishes.

I mean, sure, be nice and consider your SO's tastes, but he is just being a whiny bitch about it.

TroopofEchos smells like cooked onions, but you get used to it after a while

1/27/2011 2:55:34 PM

My sister's ex hated onions, and I've run into a few other people who don't like them either.

I don't really see where he's being a whiny bitch. In this case, yes he's being outlandish (toddler-like hunger strike), but apparently this has been going on for a long time and they're both getting fed up in this power battle of the onions.

1/27/2011 2:55:47 PM

why cant she cook some with and with out
a womens place in the kitchen, right?

1/27/2011 2:56:21 PM

he probably does something that pisses her off and so she puts onions in his food for a meal or two

Incorrect. When he says "That's fine, I'll cook stuff for myself" she'll get sad and complain that he doesn't like her cooking.

There's a time and a place for domestic violence.

This is it.

1/27/2011 2:59:08 PM

Onions are such a basic item in so many recipes that him saying she should make everything without them would really decrease her enjoyment of a lot of foods. It's her enjoyment versus his. She's doing the cooking. Sometimes I do think she should leave the onions out when they wouldn't make a huge difference, but him saying she should cook everything without onions because he doesn't like them when she is the one doing all the cooking is selfish and juvenile.

whiny bitch men can get in the kitchen and make it themselves if they won't eat what is served to them

1/27/2011 2:59:46 PM

Every time I've seen somebody cook spinach and onions they are cooked separately and then combined at the very end. I'd say it's a pretty bitch move to throw the onions in there knowing he don't like them.

I mean I like my mashed potatoes REALLY peppery but I don't make the entire pot that way and then bitch at my wife if she doesn't like them the same way I do.

1/27/2011 3:00:56 PM

What's she doing cooking spinach in the first place?

1/27/2011 3:02:40 PM

the guy just needs to find out what food she doesnt like and cook a big heaping batch of that shit

1/27/2011 3:03:09 PM

She's being unreasonable by getting all butt hurt about him not eating the food with onions in it, imo.

1/27/2011 3:03:13 PM

I like cooked spinach. Raw spinach gives me squeaky teeth.

^ I do agree with that. She shouldn't be pissed if he doesn't eat them, but him expecting her to cook everything without them is a bit much.

"My husband and I have been together for about 3 years and have a 2 year old daughter. My parents have been supporting us for pretty much the whole time we’ve been together. When I was pregnant, I worked until I couldn’t anymore and then became a stay at home mom when she was born. He spent months at a time not working in between working a little bit and getting fired from job after job. Now my parents have moved to another country and decided they don’t want to pay our bills and let us live for free forever. So we moved with them. Now my husband isn’t a citizen and doesn’t speak the language here. I am a citizen and was able to find work. However, he still sits around and does nothing. He won’t even try to learn the language even though i and others have offered him help not to mention there are plenty of sites he can go to. He won’t even move his butt to help out and he’s upset at my parents because they are angry at him. But my parents take it out on me and then he takes it out on me and I’m stuck in the middle. I don’t know what to do. Is this even worth the effort? Am I wrong to think he should at least make an attempt to do something? I understand it’s hard being in a new country where you don’t speak the language but spending all day in bed is not going to make it better. Am I right or not? Wife: 1922/Husband: 90"

To me, she needs a divorce to me.

1/27/2011 3:07:14 PM

My fiance and I actually had this argument because I'm not a fan of onions. We came to a compromise that if they're diced up very, very small, then they're tolerable (it's a texture thing for me).

However, Skwinkle and GREEN JAY - I have a feeling that if you did the majority of the cooking and your bf/husband didn't eat it because you add ingredients that he doesn't like, you would get tired of just cooking for yourself and would make a compromise as well. It sounds like he has one thing he doesn't like, and she purposely puts them in there without consideration for him, and then gets offended when he doesn't eat it.

ps - can we get a fucking edit on that gigantic picture?

1/27/2011 3:10:31 PM

fish that looks like a penis, i suppose

1/27/2011 3:11:04 PM

I do most of the cooking. I would compromise on an issue where there is one ingredient in question that he doesn't like, but sometimes if it was an item I did like I would still cook with it, and I just wouldn't expect him to eat it. However if he tried to tell me I should make all my dishes without it to suit his tastes over my own, no dice. To me it sounds like that is what is happening. I could be wrong.

I can't eat onions, they cause me intestinal pain and lots of times I puke. So...yeah, don't try to force them on me.

Spinach and onions together isn't that great of a mix anyway, it's like a poor man's creamed spinach.

Serve them separately. Tons better that way anyway.

1/27/2011 5:27:32 PM

the diamond ring guy was dumb to fall for that trick.

As for the onions couple, she really needs to calm down. He isn't saying that she can't cook what she likes to eat, he only asks that she not put onions. All she has to do is cook the onions in a separate pan and mix them at the end. She seems awfully petty by holding out like this.

"by BRANDON on JANUARY 27, 2011 Ok here is the thing (this may get long and confusing…beware) my girlfriend of almost 7 years graduated from NCSU a year and a half ago with a degree in Animal Science (large animals). She plans to go to NCSU vet school, but until she gets in she has been looking for a job. Now, she got offered a job today in Macon county as an Agricultural extension agent, and she’s taking the job (which I would to, I’m happy for her). She’s moving there Feb 15th, getting an apartment or house out there and plans on staying for a year or so (the length of the job). Now, to move on with the story you have to know more about me and us. We have been dating on and off for almost 7 years, and have always had some problems but we work through them and move on. I myself am graduating this year from NCSU with a degree in Agricultural and Enviroment Engineering with plans to either find a job in construction or agriculture or go in and work with my father in his custom home business (my real dream). I have built this very successful business here detailing cars and have that to back me up until I get a “real” job (ie: steady income until I find another job). I have family, family land, friends and plans here where I live in Franklin county. Hell, I still need to graduate. So here is the thing I need advice with. She does not want to do the long distance thing, she wants me to move up there with her for the next year. Now, she has a job waiting with steady income and a purpose to be there. I would have to leave my business behind, start over again in a new town (taken me 5 years in this town to build the business I have). I would have to take classes at a local community college there instead of NCSU. I would have no income until I got my degree (August) and then looked for a job (could take 6+ months). I leave behind my family and friends, hobbies and a town that I have never left. I’m just not the “drop everything” kind of person. I have not even moved out yet (doing that when I get done with college, saving my money). My family has lived on our land since the late 1700's, and I plan to as well. I have been building relationships and connections here for future employment, and I have income now (and I job that I like). I love offshore fishing, and with my current location its only 2hrs to my parents beach house in Wrightsville to do that. I have customers in Wilmington that I wouldnt get to as often. I would pretty much be dropping every customer I had without notice or a solution of an alternative detailer. By this point I am sure you are all thinking either “wow, I just wasted my life reading that” or ” you already sound like you know what you want to do”. I do know what I want to do, I want to stay here 100%. What I am looking for is an opinion on whether or not that is selfish and greedy of myself to do this when the girl I could potentially marry thinks I should drop everything here and move with her. Its so simple in her eyes, she just does not realize how big of a deal this is for me. Should I move or is she being selfish?"

"My boyfriend simply refuses to put the toilet seat down after using the toilet. When I’m not paying attention (at night, for example) I fall into the hole, wiping the disgusting , ice-cold edges on my way. It’s a traumatizing experience! He says he forgets to do it, so recently I wrote a funny message under the toilet seat remembering him to put it down. I caught him laughing about it, so I know he notices it every time, but he still refuses. Does he think it’s endangering his manhood?"

I hate this age old question. The man is clearly right in this regard. If I have to lift the toilet seat up, why should you not have to put the toilet seat down? If you fall in, then learn from it and pay more attention next time.

1/27/2011 5:54:49 PM

The solution is to stubbornly refuse to lift it up (Just like they refuse to put it down) and simply leave it down and piss all over it.
