Things you no longer do for your spouse...

[ladder13]

My wife hates it when I do the dishes. Says I make a mess and get water everywhere. I don't like to use the dishwasher because I don't think it gets everything as clean as I'd like.

She also hates it when I DON'T do the dishes.

Can't win, I guess. We each do our own laundry, and that has worked out since many years ago when I washed her new cashmere sweater and it came out of the dryer just about Barbie doll size. Hey, who knew? Well, I do now, but it's okay since she does it herself now.

My deceased FIL used to botch everything his wife asked him to do. It was by design, as his participation in chores diminished mightily over the years.
Smart guy he was.

Same deal with the laundry.
She stopped shooting decades ago, but that means I get her 63 all to myself.
Never buy her a gift that plugs in.
