sunnyside_up 11 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) ha haha. I see this all the time observing my sisters marriage. The communication gap is between the sexes not the cultures, but the culture gap is very complex. Once she said it was a pity there was no rice (meaning ordr more rice please) He responded by saying something like its ok we have plenty of food now you can have my bread rolls. Then the great argument began and sunday dinner was wrecked. I just sat there amused at how it all could have been avoided if only he had said. Oh honey dear you are right. Waiter please get us more rice. Or if she would have said, Oh honey dear you are right we have plenty of food now please pass the rolls.

Or imagine if she said " honey, thanks for the offer but i would actually prefer to order more rice" . Or , as an alternative, if she said " waiter, please get us some more rice" Why do people have to make things so difficult sometimes lol Link to post Share on other sites
ArieBombarie 365 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I am getting plenty of nr6's these days, lucky she is not very good in making up her mind but she seems to realise she might have given me a bit too much rope Link to post Share on other sites

ArieBombarie 365 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) tbh it is basic stuff, she already in the sarcastic stage because you missed she was out of rice in the first place, taking a woman out for dinner and than not being attentive is a big nono she is not pissed off because she is out of rice, she is pissed of because you behave like a provincial Edited August 18, 2011 by ArieBombarie Link to post Share on other sites
JoMads 22 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) She should just be grateful and show appreciation, but that would be asking too much.. Edited August 26, 2011 by JoMads Link to post Share on other sites

mojo 11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) "2) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house." WTF??? half an hour???? when are women that quick to get ready?
