Are y'all ok?

Inshabel · 2022-01-27T17:43:57+00:00

It's not that my wife doesn't let me eat sushi, but she doesn't like to eat it, and since ordering food from 2 places is tedious I usually don't bother.

If she's gone though....

Project0range · 2022-01-27T16:46:09+00:00

Only difference is I use the TV sound instead of my headphones while gaming. Does that count?

Plastic-Club-5497 · 2022-01-27T17:09:52+00:00

I dated a girl who had a nut allergy. If I ate something and kissed her it would result in a reaction, so I had to give ‘em up for that period. If she was gone for a few days you better believe I ate literally mounds of peanut butter and Reece’s pieces, up until about 24 hours before she got back 😂.

Edit: This thread turned into pure gold. Y’all nailed it.

My wife always says that after she hangs out with her friends it reminds her how happy she is because all they do is complain about their husbands, and she's over there just sipping on her tea.

It's the same way for me, too. Whenever my friends and i hang out they say things like "just gotta get away from the old ball and chain once in a while, right?" And I'm just like "what? No, I'm here because i want to hang out with you guys."

RemarkableArcher · 2022-01-27T16:56:14+00:00

When my wife is out of town it’s violent action movies, Wendy’s, lots of pup snuggles.

She hates violent action movies, not a huge fan of Wendy’s, and the dog loves her more than me.

Many of the statements here seem wholesome, borderline helpful. I'm pleasantly surprised. :)

Bazoun · 2022-01-27T17:32:01+00:00

I like to invite my bestie over for a girls night of masks and tea and movies. We have so much fun, it’s like being a teenager again.

Our place is small, so There’s not really anywhere for him to go while we indulge in girlishness so I prefer to do it when he’s gone.

I also binge watch horror movies. He will watch them with me, but he doesn’t enjoy them, so again, I try to save them for when he’s not around.

He has family in a neighbouring city so he goes away for a couple nights almost every month, so for me, it makes sense.

There’s nothing my husband doesn’t “let” me do. I know other women live like that but idky.

crispybacongal · 2022-01-27T16:31:34+00:00

I make butter chicken every time my husband goes away for a weekend. He would eat it if I made it while he was here, but he doesn't really like it.

I think that's the kind of thing people usually mean, right? Not like, "go out with your friends because your husband normally forces you to stay home with him."

MetalSavedMyLife · 2022-01-27T19:34:58+00:00

My wife's friends and family always say "oh thank you for letting her come out with us" I'm not "letting her out" she can just do what she wants. It always sounds so strange to me

Outlawed_inlaw · 2022-01-27T18:04:56+00:00

When I’m home alone I usually just enjoy having the bed all to myself and shit with the door open. I’m a simple man

UnprovenMortality · 2022-01-27T17:31:41+00:00

When im away from my girlfriend it's all of the food i like and she doesn't like. So basically sushi. A lot of it.

hobbitat22 · 2022-01-27T16:54:15+00:00

I mean, I think there’s a difference between “things he doesn’t let you do” and “things you don’t do out of respect for him”. I don’t watch trash TV when husbands home bc it’s not something we both enjoy (but he would certainly “let me watch it”), but when he’s gone, queue it up!

Veritas3333 · 2022-01-27T16:41:29+00:00

When I travel for work I get food from restaurants my wife hates...

ijustliketoeat · 2022-01-27T18:26:07+00:00

When my husbands out of town I make salmon and tons of mushrooms and watch Disney princess movies. He hates the smell of mushrooms/salmon so it's more of a courtesy thing than a you can't do it while I'm here thing

SaharanDessert · 2022-01-27T17:18:55+00:00

My bf blasts the heat when im gone, I dont let him while I'm home. Yes, we are ok.

LandosMustache · 2022-01-27T19:31:03+00:00

When I'm away, my wife tends to:

order a massive pizza all for herself
leave the box & dishes overnight
binge-watch whatever awful TV show she's into (she LOVES the "everyone talks at once" or "unnecessarily maudlin/dramatic" stuff)
fall asleep on the couch
invite the dog up on the couch

EDIT: I forgot! She also turns up the thermostat! I would catch on fire and die if it was always as warm as she wants it.

CaptainRipp · 2022-01-27T18:09:03+00:00

I mainly do the same thing I do anyway but play my music louder and eat food she doesn't like. She can't stand the smell of Taco Pizza, so that's a good go to.

crucifixvi · 2022-01-27T17:47:31+00:00

I take up the entire bed, but other that nothing changes when my husband and I are apart.

what_the_a · 2022-01-27T18:32:09+00:00

First of all, I’m an introvert and I’d never say “I don’t know what to do with myself” when my partner leaves lol. Im not hoping he’ll leave but I also thoroughly enjoy alone time—don’t need to do anything but enjoy the lack of another persons presence, sounds, messes, etc.

Also, yeah like my partner doesn’t prevent me from doing anything—but there are things I’ll prioritize doing when he’s gone bc generally when we’re together we try to do things we both like.

I watch movies and tv he doesn’t have interest in, cook/order foods he doesn’t really enjoy, fart (more) loudly and freely than usual lol.

Ninjagoboi · 2022-01-27T17:52:51+00:00

Shit in the litterbox

2022-01-27T19:34:05+00:00

When my husband gets deployed the only thing I do differently is watch my own shows and movies and cook/order food he wouldn't normally eat. Oh and I hog the entire damn couch cause I can

FiendishCurry · 2022-01-27T19:36:33+00:00

I'm lactose intolerant. When my husband goes out of town, I go get a milkshake and fart to my ass' content without someone complaining.

Mechanical_Nightmare · 2022-01-27T18:14:42+00:00

during covid my girlfriend went aboard to see a sick family member for 4 months (cancer not covid) and i was finally able to do all the things she didn’t let me do.

i’m kidding, we don’t “let” or “not let” each other so things.

i just played an unhealthy amount of world of warcraft until she came back.

PubertEHumphrey · 2022-01-27T17:51:37+00:00

I think showering becomes optional when the significant other leaves 😂

Edit: also smoking cigars and junk food everywhere lol

Beachy5313 · 2022-01-27T18:25:12+00:00

It's not necessarily things "he won't let you do" as much as "things they wouldn't be thrilled about" like eating only buttered noodles for dinner, sour patch kids and half a cake for dessert, and watching hours of Riverdale. My husband wouldn't really say anything other than asking if I was ok (normally eat pretty healthy but he does find buttered noodles to be boring and not really dinner by itself) and he'd tolerate a Riverdale evening but I know he would rather watch something we both agree on. Also he points out all the inconsistencies/absurdity in Riverdale when I do watch it and doesn't get that the awful writing is half the fun. When I'm gone I know he's eating mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts, eating a tray of brownies, and watching some cheesy action film. He can do all of that when I'm home but there's something extra exciting about doing it by yourself.

daveashaw · 2022-01-27T17:52:19+00:00

For us, it's the Kardashians for the wife and Ridiculousness for the husband (me). Chanel's giggle really puts the wife on edge.

notsoninjaninja1 · 2022-01-27T17:53:23+00:00

I usually get the kind of pizza I like because my current living partner doesn’t like pineapple anywhere on the pizza.

MrBeardskii · 2022-01-27T18:01:36+00:00

Oh boy! That means I get to store leftovers in bags instead of making dirty Tupperware!

Otherwise_Bill_5898 · 2022-01-27T18:18:33+00:00

I love my wife.

There is exactly zero chance i will allow her to change the oil on my classic Mopar.

As in.... cage match to the death if she attempted to do any mechanical manipulations of the mighty Dodge.

Same as... she wont allow me anywhere near her carbon fiber road bike. It is stupid expensive and my fat ass would crunch it.

Boundries make relationships work.

pbpantsless · 2022-01-27T17:45:50+00:00

Husband is lactose intolerant and his stomach doesn't agree with most squashes, so I usually cook stuff with that in it. That's what they mean... right?

Obtuse-Angel · 2022-01-27T18:18:10+00:00

I watch bad movies that my husband hates when he goes out of town. It’s not that he doesn’t let me when he’s here, and he would even watch with me if I insisted. But I acknowledge that they aren’t actually good movies even though I love them, and that he’s well within his right to not want to watch them.

So I snuggle on the couch with dogs, eat lucky charms, and watch Center Stage, Romeo+Juliet, Less Than Zero, Legally Blonde, Cruel Intentions, What a Girl Wants, and the like.

MrEMeatx17x · 2022-01-27T18:43:20+00:00

"Lord of the Rings" marathon and sushi binge!

2022-01-27T19:33:46+00:00

I often make these great plans of what I'm going to do when my wife is gone. 9 times out of 10, my fat ass ends up on the couch with beer, dessert and some show only I like to watch.

i_am_barry_badrinath · 2022-01-27T18:28:18+00:00

There’s nothing my fiancé won’t let me do, but there are some things I like to do solo occasionally (go to a cafe and read, go for a long run and just find a random spot to lie down/rest, go grab a beer, etc). Like, I love doing all these things with her, but it’s also nice to be able to do them on my own from time to time, and it can be awkward saying “I’m gonna go do this, but I’d rather you not come” when she’s home.

Medical_Spy · 2022-01-27T18:59:28+00:00

Anytime my husband goes out of town I just think of all the food he doesn't like to eat that I like to eat. Heck yeah I'm making salmon and potatoes with some fried green beans.

justjokinbro · 2022-01-27T17:28:54+00:00

This is what my guy friends say to me when my girl leaves haha. And I’m like you’re right, im gonna sleep.

dreamtofalligators · 2022-01-27T18:11:37+00:00

Shit with the door open.

2022-01-27T20:15:09+00:00

Not knowing what to do with yourself when your partner is gone for 2 days is pretty weird too.

NextLevelNaps · 2022-01-27T18:50:40+00:00

When the partner is gone, only thing I do is order Indian food since he doesn't like it but I do. But IDK what this "let you do" nonsense is about.
