Help Settle An Etiquette Dispute

Mr. Dictionary,

I'm wondering what else goes on in your marriage if something that happened 13 years ago can cause a big fight. Lord knows women can — and do — bring up shit that happened long ago, but 13 years? Screw your long-ago friend. It's time to figure out why this subject bothers your wife so much.

When I entered this industry, my foremost goal was to write something good enough to warrant scrotal tattooing.

 

He still should have gave the present 13 years ago. He had the chance 12 years ago but he wanted to "spare him" from the old memories.

sorry for the thread jack, Carry on with Dooleys scrotum.

 

Depends on whether you nailed the bride while they were on the outs.

 

Webster made the effort by apologizing for forgetting the gift the first time around. He encouraged his roommate and his wife to contact them to get the gift from them. For various reasons, that never happened.

The situation is so strange, but I'm going to vote no.

I'm with the people who say Mrs. W's getting into a fight each time the issue is brought up is the much larger issue. That needs to be worked out with a professional.

 

He probably tried anal....on a person (who am I to judge?) that wasn't his wife.

Seriously though...is this the only thing your wife brings up...because if it's been 13 years...something is weird about this.

I've done some stupid things (not saying what happened to you was stupid) and my wife has gotten past them in our 10 years...but to have someone -- especially your wife -- hang something to stupid over your head is pretty bad form as well.

 

I spent at least 20 minutes trying to find a gif from that episode when this thread was first started.

 

I can see this. Even in the best of relationships, when you discover something that pushes someone's button, you're going to keep going back to that well.
