This is what being in your 30s is all about. If you don't get excited over a new vacuum, what can you get excited about?

I wonder who got to use it first.

This trash game is absolute trash because not only is it not fun at all, it's also messy and annoying.

Everybody loses and the trash never gets taken out. Don't wait until garbage day.

It's tough out here in this economy. It feels like the only way two people can afford to live a middle-class life is by bringing in a third person.

That just doesn't seem right.

My husband and I have this down to a tee. I prefer tidying, cooking, cleaning the floors, and making the bed, and he prefers washing dishes and doing laundry.

We were made for each other.

Get yourself a man who knows how important it is for you to have a fully charged phone.

Women love charging their phones, am I right? Seriously, we cannot be below 30%.

There is no in between. This guy inadvertently chose the latter.

When He Grocery Shops

Why is it that husbands cannot grocery shop properly?

I feel like they only buy things that are on sale, and if eggs are not on sale, then the family is just not having eggs for a while.

Let's just hope that everyone else he saw outside of his house thought that they were shorts too.

Husbands have to know that if they order fries for themselves, at least 75% of those fries belong to someone else.

It was nice of this wife to share some of her fries.

It's one of those rules that might not be legally enforced, but it is so ingrained into our society that it would be a fool's mission to challenge it.

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I believe that the true way to grow your bond with a loved one is to be annoyed by the same things in public.

And then talk about them with each other without others around you knowing you're talking about them.

I Self-Identify As The Rookie

I like to think of marriage as a partnership, but like one of those cop movie partnerships, where one of you is the grizzled pro who's two days from retirement and one of you is the wide-eyed rookie and everyone is just trying to guess which one of you dies first.

It's gotten to the point where my wife won't even be at home, but I still can hear her in my head chewing me out for leaving a spoon on the countertop.

In a perfect world, every marriage would be comprised of two self-sufficient people just hanging out forever.

However, this world isn't perfect, and we need to maintain codependency. The second my wife understands how to fix the air pressure on her tires, she'll leave me.

Financial Woes

IKEA or The Hunger Games?

We've all seen episodes of a home reno show or House Hunters where you think, "there's no way this couple will last if they can't even do this." Furniture shopping is just the real-life version of this, minus the cameras and people judging you from their couches at home.

Furniture shopping is not for the faint of heart. Only go to IKEA with someone you trust completely. Otherwise, it'll be total chaos.

What Keith clearly has yet to learn about marriage is that he needs to anticipate his wife's needs.

Did she say she doesn't want fries at dinner? Be prepared for her to eat some of yours off your plate. She said don't buy any more ice cream because she's trying to eat healthier, but you know she's going to want some later tonight. Just buy a carton and put it in the freezer for her to stumble upon later.
