Don't marry, don't romance, learn a thing or two from those buddists and stop desiring things just because everyone else has them, take what is given.

Having a roomate, marriage, renting, it all binds you to a person and makes you vulnerable.

EDIT: Nwm, not eating a ban for another's sake.

... It's a JOKE for fuck's sake.

I hate people like this because they're just miserable on purpose.

My partner doesn't like Marmite and I do. Solution, I buy Marmite and she doesn't eat it.

Just buy the peanut butter you like, as well.

I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even like Warhammer but has her own painted figurines.

marry that woman. no, wait, divorce then remarry that woman. well. shit.

ish, divorce happened, I'm free, have an amazing friend group whom I adore and cannot believe they love me. but also afraid of ICE because US is a shit 3rd world fascist state. but that abuse is better than domestic abuse.

Are the straights ok?

What makes this post for me is OPs PFP as Mark from Peep Show.

2 jars of peanut butter? In this economy?

It lasts twice as long though

maybe what i wrote too... ? idk man it's the internet we're here to shitpost, it's a meme community

4 times as long, if both jars are crunchy

If both versions cost the same, it literally makes no difference

Someone I listen to loves peanut butter but his partner is allergic, so he doesn't have peanut butter anymore. I know the stakes are higher, but it's more valid to match the solution. This post feels almost like intentionally suffering to make yourself a Martyr when the solution is very simple.

I slowly wore my vegetarian wife down in to eating bacon and steak, and she taught me how to cook more fish and veggie only meals. Still cant get her to watch Anime with me though 😔

Peanut allergies are often sensitive enough to be triggered by trace amounts of peanuts in the environment, so completely eliminating it to keep a partner safe makes sense. The OP is clearly depicting a toxic variety of hetero relationships where guys refuse to make an effort at compromise and just say “my wife always gets her way.”

There is a possibility that his preference for peanut butter isn't that strong, and it's easier to just stock one kind. It's also possible she eats significantly more peanut butter than him, so his jar would sit unfinished for much longer, possibly separating out.

And if it's something like that, it'd just be a funny way to state their situation.

That's pretty gross to own up to ngl, assuming your wife was vegetarian based on ethics

She was veg because that's how she grew up, its not like I brainwashed her or something lol. Just being around a meat-eater led to her trying more meat and liking it.

I mean you're the one that said you "wore [her] down", your word choice

It is just peanut butter, not like he gave up on his hobbies. Unless ofcourse peanut butter is the one thing he is living for. To me it sounds like he can't be bothered to deal with two jars of peanut all the time so he just said "eh fuck it"

My wife gave up crunchy for me. I told her I couldn't sleep with that abomination in the house.

For some people there isn't another choice. It's be in a relationship and be miserable, or be miserable and alone.

and a lot of people have control issues in relationships. they can't be happy or secure unless the other person suffers.

My son likes creamy, husband likes crunchy, so I stock both?

Husband did give up sour cream, but If he wanted it so bad, hes get it himself or ask me. I dont like blue cheese, yet we always have it in the house.

This is dumb.

vibe with youe wife on the anime lol I cant really do that either, even with trying. My husband dont watch anime but my best friend does. Support at a distance. Husband likes Behemoth, Also support the art form, but the music sucks ass

This is me and stinky cheese :b

I love really intense cheese. The good shit. I have lived with the tasteless rubber cheese for half my life because my boyfriend hates stinky cheese.

It was to the point that he, until last year, actually believed that I only like mild cheese and when I told him no, that I absolutely adore the nastiest, stinkiest cheeses he was shocked and asked me why I never told him. Said I did, many years ago, but I didn't mind giving up good cheese for his sake, because he has a very sensitive nose and I didn't want him to be grossed out everytime he opened the fridge.

To his credit, he took me to a farm store not long after that conversation and bought me a block of delicious stinky cheese. He did wrap it in several layers of plastic and stuck it in an air tight container like it was a murder victim, but he wanted me to have some cheese I actually liked for once. I think it was really sweet of him because I know how much good cheese repulses him. Haven't replenished my cheese stock since, but it's nice to know that he's willing to let me have it once in awhile.

That is so ridiculously romantic omfg ❤️😍

In my relationship, we have few things we give up for one another due to sensory issues. For example, I gave up strong cheeses because he can't stand the smell and he let's me control what types of blankets and bedsheets we have because I have intense sensory issues with certain types of fabrics.

Sometimes giving something up for the other isn't a break up worthy offense, but it would be if it was done to take joy away from the other person or in some way infringed on their personal joy and happiness.

Personally, I can live with or without strong cheese. It doesn't kill me to not have it and he doesn't give two shits about what textures our blankets have. But if he owned a blanket that had a horrible texture, and it was important to him to keep it, I would try my best to deal with it as long as I don't have to touch it too much. And for him, I went out and got me a block of stinky cheese one time because he wanted me to enjoy good cheese. I haven't asked it of him and I don't think I will try and get strong cheese again anytime soon because it's more important to me that he's comfortable than me getting peak dairy.

❤️❤️🤗

What a stupid thing. Like you can't have 2 different jars of peanut butter in your fucking cabinets? My spouse prefers Jif, and I prefer Peter Pan. We have a jar of each in the cabinet. Because we aren't emotionally stunted goblins pretending to be adult humans. God this tweet makes me irrationally angry. "haha, marriage is the worst, amirite guys?" ugh.

On the flip side, OP, I love the text you added in your post. That's amazing.

I don't think they have been for some time...

Relationship dysfunction is just assumed to be an unalterable, unavoidable feature of reality for Boomers, so, much of their humor is literally them coping with their inability to be fully functional people.

In I guess fairness to them: What do you expect from a generation raised by parents with undiagnosed PTSD?

I've been married 17 years. I like wearing swimming trunks, and my wife likes wearing bikinis. I haven't worn trunks in 17 years.

yep

Jokes generally have to be true, on some relatable level, in order to be funny.

Sometimes hegemony arises and spreads through proximity, not agitprop.

Yeah, feels kinda like boomer energy. Gave up something unecessary to prove his love in a way that was never asked for, probably resents her for it or pulls that out as a talisman any time she brings up something she does care about because marriage isn't about partnership; it's a constant power struggle.

Those people need therapy because that's not normal way of thinking. If you're miserable in a relationship what's the point in staying in the relationship?

It's just boomer humour, haha wife bad BS.

How much does it cost to flatten peanuts?

Though I do wonder how many people out there worry about a deadly peanut allergy they grew out of but haven't realized they can now enjoy one of the best foods in existence.

It's already been said, but yeah just get both? I've been married over 20 years, and I'm vegan while my wife is omnivore. Hasn't been a big problem.

it's less miserable than being alone.

not everyone has the luxury of therapy or happiness dude. that's a thing wealthy people worry about. working-class people need someone to split the rent with.

I like peanut butter too much for all that

Do those brands actually taste any different?

What, like in Ethiopia? I'm sure they have both, too.

....what? Maybe try reading the post again?

So your mother's a masochist, then?

No, I think Iran mined it, or something. But this about peanut butter.

No.

A lot of people don't believe in a relationship that isn't a power struggle. They don't believe in relationships that are cooperative. Many people are seeking relationships where they dominate or are dominated.

I date. I meet plenty of women who tell me on the first date that I must give up something to prove to them my worth or dedication to them. Because the point of the relationship to her is for men to suffer for her sake, and anything the man pursues for his own personal happiness is a her losing out on what should be given to her.

This might include hobbies, friends, possessions, lifestyle choices, and pets.

I also meet women occasionally who basically want me to tell them how to dress, what to think, what friends to have, etc. Which is kind of the flipside.

Level 1: Creamy
Level 2: Crunchy/Chunky
Level 3: Use both for different applications
Level 4: Almond/Pecan/Cashew/Other butters
Level 5: Homemade peanut butter with your own addatives. Whatever nuts you have lying around. Cocoa powder, protein powder, chili oil, cayenne, etc.
