Not Safe For Work! Friday night relationship advice thread

[Goat]

Battle of wills going on in the Goat household here lads and ladies and after some advice.

My Wife is super chill, she never demands things of me, she always implies or suggests, but she never ever demands. So when she suggests things, I am always more inclined to do what she suggests, cos otherwise that would make me an arsehole, right?

The boy has got a new job in Cheshire Oaks, she wants to go tomorrow, visit his workplace, for some food and pick him up after work, after some walking around the shops. The problem is, he finishes at 7pm and I really wanna sit in my boxers all day and watch the footy.

Nothing will happen if I choose football, I wont be "punished", I wont get the cold shoulder, she will just get the bus, with my Grandson and come home on the bus after work with the boy.

But I feel like I should make the effort, for her.

So my question is, how do I become a non-feeling cyborg? And should I bin the footy off and make a day of it with the family?



If anybody else has any relationship questions, I feel this is the place to ask.

How much boxers n footie time can you squeeze in before having to go to Cheshire Oaks?

Can't stand places like that tbf, but families innit.

Short term for the long term this one.

You’ll get a lot of credit in the bank for going and it’ll be remembered for all eternity if you don’t.

They have very subtle ways of getting revenge and making us pay.

Take one for team Goat and join the rest of the zombies at Cheshire Oaks.

In saying that, I’d rather burn in hell, than go to IKEA.

Even sans ChatGPT's excellent response, it seems you already knew the answer....

Stay home and watch footie but give her the bus fare and dinner money

 

[DanEFC92]

I'm not reading all that so my advice is to put it in rice.

Cheshire oaks is horrid on a Saturday afternoon.

Suggest doing it in the week when it’s quieter and will be more enjoyable? Unless work gets in the way of that?

Failing that, push her buttons, cause an argument, and hope she goes alone whilst fuming at you? Will all blow over by the Sunday.

….sometimes you just have to do things you don’t want to do. You’ll be dreading it but on Monday morning you’ll be happy you did the right thing.

Mrs Eggs goes there with her pals every month or so, something I’m grateful for as it’s a dreadful place.

 

[SerenityNigh]

Myself I find the less I watch football the more I enjoy it, but then I generally only watch Everton

 

[MrPerfectNot]

And because I watched Hot Dog, the Movie, last night, I feel empowered to ask:

"What the f123 is Cheshire Oaks?"

So you are telling him to watch Everton replays all day?

I believe you call them Shopping malls.

 

[MrPerfectNot]

I believe you call them Shopping malls.

Ah, places to be avoided, then.

That said, put on your big boy pants, buckle up and go....
