men have no idea how to pack! one pair of boxers and a toothbrush is not enough for a weeks holiday!
A mate of mine turned up for the lads 2 week holiday in Ibiza with a Spar carrier bag with a tea towel and spare pair of undies in it.
Hate people who overpack.
Me and the missus went to the canaries for a fortnight, about 6 weeks ago. We took 2 large suitcases. Both full to the brim. 1 was 19.5 kg and the other 20kg. (20kg allowance) She made me weigh them before we left our house.
Had a great time, she bought 2 bags and a load of other shite, I reminded her that we was at our limit on the way out, and it 'll cost me a fortune in extra charges. She promptly went back to the shops, bought yet another bag (for hand luggage) to put the other bags in!
She did all the packing there and back of course. we got home, i asked her where she wanted the cases etc.. She pointed at one case and said "leave that one downstairs"
Pointed at the other and said "I want that one upstairs". "Upstairs??" I said. "Yes" she replied, "that ones full of clean clothes, the ones we didn't wear". !!!!
Fucking women.. Weird as fuck :(

Well, that sounds like a healthy relationship!
Not a personal experience just the two mates I know who are much more wealthy than their partners never seem to have any issues (strange that.) And I would also say that out of all my mates and their partners those two couples are the ones who seem the happiest and IMO are most likely to stay together.
Not much of a partnership if you are measuring the wealth of one against the other

I would have very few days off, particularly compared to her, but obviously I shared the burden of general housework and jobs. Some of this I didnt mind doing at all, like the gardening stuff and hoovering the house. But what I absolutely despised was getting up on said day off to find 'The List' placed next to the kettle. I am not a fucking idiot, if asked in an adult civilised manner to do specific tasks I have the capability to perform them, without the idiots guide.
This of course set me to tasks in a resentful manner. But then would come the steady stream of phone calls designed only to check up on the progress of the completion of 'The List'.
Once I reversed this unnecessary nonsense and phoned her, to provide a checklist of all the jobs I had done and in what order. Staggeringly, this was greeted with "I dont tell you all the things I do round the house". Yes love, and nor should you, cos I treat you like the intelligent independent adult you are.
With that, I thought fuck all this and bought myself a two bed where I live in total harmony with myself. And still get all the jobs done.
Sounds exceedingly familiar that does
'The List' it is truly a classic!
It's nothing to do with getting the jobs done it is all about control. Once you understand this you can plan...
For 20 of 27 years ( and counting) Mrs TGR did the same and always left 'The List' on the work top directly in front of the kettle....
Whatever jobs were on the list NEVER got done regardless of the nagging or arguments it caused. 20 years in she finally twigged that 'The List' wasn't working. Now there is no list and any job that needs doing gets done.
Remember: 'The List' is ALL about control and nothing else.

True but means that 90% of things that us normal people and their partners argue about are already off the table. In both cases the wealth of one is never shoved down the throat of the other. They are both the two most generous people I know. I just have found that when money is not an issue and you can do what you want pretty much when you want then there is a hell of a lot less to be nagged at about.
Perhaps I am henpecked after all, we have just come back from the pub, got a pizza on the way.
had a beer with my pizza and thought about getting another.
Mrs Mist says I don't nee another and has offered to male me a brew.
Sensible me says have a brew but then I am hen pecked.
What do I do ?

I wonder if they might regard it as the wealth of them both?
EDIT
Choose a brew over a beer?
