She's a keeper. You're lucky. She's letting you know what irritates her, and how to avoid aggravating her again and also providing a way to make it up to her. This is the way to a harmonious life.

Or she came up with a goal--and an annoyance to help drive it.
this is the fucked up comment
this is the meow meow comment. meow!
this is the correct comment
"happy wife happy life" seems so.. antiquated though.
edit i think my viewpoint might be because my parents were both born in the early 1950s and very much reinforce the "boomer" stereotypes. i think both people in a partnership should be happy, to be clear.
How so? I derive great joy from bringing joy to my loved ones. Love and happiness is greater when shared with others.

I dunno she pretty clearly said she’s annoyed which sounds like a description of how angry she is
But how do I read these subtle hints, can't she just tell me how she's feeling?
i wonder how much extra stress access to instant non-verbal communication has added to humanity. like for thousands of years you could only talk to someone face to face or wait three months for a letter to arrive. we never really had to try and translate someone's intent without the aid of vocal tone and body language until pretty recently.

People are capable of being annoyed by something but still make peace with their feelings and get on with their day.
Can some people not do this?
Not to mention that their partner is annoyed, but that doesn't mean they suddenly don't love them any more.
People weirdly paint each other as black and white, completely this or completely that, and don't consider maturity and complexity. It's odd.
No, and this comment annoyed me.
Pick your weapon, we meet at dawn.

Its so easy to spot people who've been banned from reddit one too many times

Yes, there are people that can't do that.
I know someone who received a phone call in the morning to ask if they were actually cool with their husband taking a trip across the country with him. Ruined her whole day. Couldnt go to work because she didnt want to cry in the office. She knew about the vacation and was fine with it. Still not entirely sure how that ruined her day, but it did.

Don't buy fabrics you can't wash. Seems kinda dumb.
Duvets usiually have duvet covers. The chocolate probably either went through the cover or it's a button up duvet cover and got in.
The throw is what is unwashable. Dumb though, just wash it anyways or spot clean.
You can wash duvets.
People who eat in bed are just animals.
My girlfriend got mad during sex the other day because she rolled over on her belly to change positions and CRUNCH potato chips I left in bed.

I'm eating in bed rn, better than sharing space with smokers.
Thinking about people eating toast in bed makes me feel uncomfortable given the potential for crumbs.

She was so mad about the chocolate, her mind immediately went to drinking.

Husband here.
Sometimes relationships end up with one "tidy one" and one "messy one".
I busted my ass over the years to turn from a gremlin into a "tidy one".
I got married to my "messy one". She's in charge of keeping the house clean.
I have to remind her not to eat in bed 🥲
Ok. I'm going to help you out. I'll take your messy wife, and I'll also be messy with her. We'll eat chocolate in bed. We'll leave trash in the shower. And burp in the car.
And you can take my wife.
Also, I'm not married.
So let me get this straight. People complain when their gf gets mad over little things like chocolate in bed. They also complain when she doesnt. Wtf?
Wish my wife would tell me if something bothered her this calmly instead of bottling it up until she bursts and gets angry. Im no better just to be clear.
Ask her regularly if something is bothering her, or if there's something you can do to make her day better.
Also, reflect on if there's something you do that makes it hard for her to tell you her issues with you (body language, sighing, removing yourself, getting defensive...)
Maybe she just finds it hard to bother others with her problems, asking directly makes it easier.
And maybe you're unconsciously communicating to her that she should leave you alone with her problems.
Anyway, the goal is to show her you're by her side, tackling problems as a team. Not opposite her.
Ask her regularly if something is bothering her
yeah...that's a one way road to hell.
I mean this is sound advice that can go wrong if you hace the emotional intelligence of a doorknob (whicgmh is a lot of people, mostly men). Don't just ask "is something botheribg you" so dryly and regularly you becomw whafs bothering her, but open lines of communication where you make it clear that you're trying to improve your communication and then genuinely check in on her. Dont just ask if something is bothwring her, but find out how shes been and what may be adding stress into her life. Don't immediately seek to fix it, but try to understand if she just needs to vent stress or if there are issues you can tsckle together. If an issue is identified, remember it is you and her vs the issue, not you vs her.

This is easy, just send one loving emote to reply. 💖
She never even said she's mad.
Annoyed < mad
see, this is why we millienials throw so many lols into our text communication. so people know it's not super serious lol.
When did she say she was mad??
Well sometimes some people don't say directly that they're mad but say things like "I'm annoyed"
She’s annoyed but not mad. She wants to be acknowledged but not fight. It’s not a big deal if you say I’m so sorry about that and move on.
Bonus points if you buy a new throw.

There is wine all over the van, lets not do a group winery day again.
Also - it would be fun to ride one of those Pedal Pubs.
I read that as she’s annoyed at the chocolate stain+mess in the bed that shouldn't be done ever again, and as forgiveness of the annoyance, Jared can rent a van for a group winery as an apology.
I mean.....that sounds like a win/win/win honestly. Your wife gets drunk, she's happy, AND she forgives you instead of fighting?
Deal.
