*******.Brilliant.

Yeah 56, pretty much that exactly. I got new furniture the other day. You know how I got it? I said to my husband, "You know honey, this furniture is crap. I'm going to go look for new stuff." I didn't mope around for a week or two, relentlessly harping about how the seams in the cushion are frayed, or about how the sofa is so old that he could have been conceived on it. I just told him straight up that we needed new furniture. Lo and behold, I got it. You also up your chances of getting nice things if you don't insist that your husband accompany you to the store to pick out a new appliance. Odds are, he doesn't care what you get, as long as you shut up about it and give him some peace and quiet after the heavy lifting is done. This is one of my favourite phrases, "Oh, don't worry honey, I'll go pick out what I want, you just stay here and relax. Have a beer and play your game."

Boom!!

Husband:1 Wife: . . . well who's keeping count anyways?

A fully functional washer and dryer is standard equipment for an American household for the past 75 years. Tell him you are going to pick out the new one and he can just get over it.

Wow, rude.

ZING!

....i dont get it :/

Was he lying...?

Don't be an idiot, men don't understand "hints." Be direct and tell him what you want. You can thank me later.
