Fight

by Marinka on October 1, 2011

I interrupt your weekend to bring you a snippet of a fight that I enjoyed with Husbandrinka last night.

OMFG, you ALWAYS do this. Always. I can’t stand it anymore. You’re driving me crazy. You are the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I can’t live like this. HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

Marinka, this is what those moronic magazines that you read would call “not fighting fair.” We’ll talk about this when you’ve calmed down.

Let me ask you, would you be able to live with someone who called your reading choices moronic?

And you’ll be happy to know that I’ve been able to forgive him and he promised to buy 2% milk like I’ve been asking for thirteen years and not that artery-clogging whole milk that he has been determined to kill me with.

One year ago ...

May your fights always be as serious as whole vs. 2%.

You said, “You are the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD” to someone over whole milk? Fuck you.

It was also not organic.

HOW DO YOU DO THIS?? Specifically, I mean how do you reply so hilariously to an apparently hateful comment? Or is she a friend/frenemy? In any case, you crack me up.

I am glad this was resolved without bloodshed…. in theory.

If I read this correctly the fight was over your reading choices the milk was the apologetic compromise. Perhaps Ms. Emily should learn to read better.

Also not even organic? Shame on him!

Don’t ever get between a couple who are fighting about milk.

This is how the fights in my house go too. Very heated arguments over touchy subjects like Dental Floss. Don’t get me started on the subject.

If you marry a moron, her/his reading preferences will be moronic.

The biggest fights are always over the stupidest things. We have an entire list of them. The problem is, we always know exactly what the other person is going to say, so it gets really boring.

I bet it wasn’t even “certified hormone Rh hormone free.” So funny.

Are husbandrika and my husband related? Because this sounds exactly like something my husband would say!

Yeah, you’re not supposed to use the words “always” and “never” and name call and threaten to walk and all that.

Yeah, I know that.

BUT STILL: seriously? When they sell non fat?

I have a shelf in my fridge full of thick and creamy to prove all men are the same.

Good God! That man is trying to kill you!

Awesome post! While I do enjoy the comedy, I’m wondering about some of the reverse sexism. At the risk of offending a few for the sake of awareness, try putting “women” in the following sentences. Not cool, is it? Okay, now back to laughing at the original post.

“men. can’t live with ‘em; can’t shoot ‘em.”

“I hate sensitive men.”

“all men are the same.”

2%?! My partner only allows non-fat milk (re: white suicide water) in the fridge. I’d kill for 2%.

We had a similar argument over rice. If you recall, my husband is Asian.

Heterosexual marriage really should be illegal.

I had a huge fight with a boyfriend years ago over peanut butter cookies. He needed a bunch of cookies for a work function so I made them for him. I used the fork to make the cross marks and dipped the fork in sugar so the cookie dough wouldn’t stick. He saw them and said, “If I wanted F’n sugar cookies I would have asked for them!”

Needless to say, we broke up and he walked away while being pelted with peanut butter “sugar” cookies.

Now I’m pissed again.
