My Wife: "I want X."Me: "I don't want us to do/get X. Here are several reasons why: A,B,C, D, E."
My Wife: "YOU ALWAYS RAIN ON MY PARADE!!! I really, really want to do/get this."
Me: "I don't want to deal with it."
My Wife: "You won't have to."
[I have to deal with A, B, C, D, E, and F because of X. It costs me money, gives me stress, makes my life/my family's life worse, day in and day out, for years.]
Me: [YELLING] "THIS IS WHAT I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T WANT!!!"
My Wife: "Thank you for yelling." [Proceeds to be in a crappy mood for days or weeks, takes it out on the kids, gets passive-aggressive, acts/gets snarky/snide like a bratty teenager. This distresses our mentally ill kid (or, the one we already know is mentally ill).]
Meanwhile, I continue to have to deal with A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Repeat.

You unmarried guys, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
