Hard water vs soft water.
So many times we’ve been in a hotel room and I’ve taken a shower and commented on what soft water it is because it feels like the soap never rinses off and I feel slippery all over. She always tries to correct me by calling it hard water. She grew up in a desert city that has naturally hard water, so she’ll always say, “I know what hard water is, I grew up with hard water!” when the “hard” water she grew up with was softened by some means. It doesn’t matter how many articles and blog posts and ChatGPT sessions on the topic I show her, she always insists they’re wrong and she’s right. We argued about it a few times in the past, but now it’s a running joke between us.
Oh man do I hate soft water. Granted soap doesn’t lather as well with hard water but whenever I shower someplace with soft water I feel like I’m spending 20 minutes just trying to get the soap off. Also I hate drinking softwater
It has become an ongoing issue that my wife complains that she smells something, then gets angry at me if I am unable to smell that same smell, sometimes accusing me of gas lighting her or calling her a liar, when actually I just don’t smell the smell she’s smelling.
I’m not making implications or accusations, I’m not trying to mislead or confuse her, I just can’t smell whatever she’s smelling and that fact frustrates the heck out of her as though I’m personally letting her down. Then she gets a bit aggro and I have to change the garbages / kitchen compost in the hopes that perhaps those are the sources of the smells I can’t smell. Sometimes that helps. She will never change the garbage or take out the compost herself.
When she insisted that she smelled a gas leak from our furnace that I couldn’t smell, we called a professional who confirmed our furnace was working fine and there was no gas leak; but I was still the villain for denying the gas leak ahead of time. Three times in the last 6 months this has been a thing.
I attacked my wife on the Game of Thrones board game while she was at 6 castles and I’m was at 4.
How dare you, that’s a relationship ender right there
My ex-spouse accused me of cheating on him.
…with a character in the video game.
…because I “clearly love him more that you love me!”
Whenever he’d be upset (for whatever reason), he would snap and say “Why don’t you go talk to the person you actually love??” before giving me the silent treatment until he needed something.
It was the beginning of the end.
Don’t miss it lol
EDIT: oh fuck, I forgot… he actually sold our PS4 containing the game/save file completely out of the blue a few months after his first accusation, without telling me first. The game in question was “Stardew Valley”. He was a shitty little man.
Lol, my girlfriend says she always marries Sebastian because he reminds her of me. I hope that’s a good thing. She wants me to play but I struggle getting into top-down games 😕
What I’m reading is he was right on the money about the pixel character being a more appealing love interest.
Wet moldy socks were a more appealing love interest.
What a Clint
Imagine if Clint & Shane were combined.
It was baaaaaad lol
Was it the poet who lives on the beach? That was the only one I’d have been threatened by
Lol nah it was the alcoholic. Ironically enough, the two of them were the most alike!
At least Shane grows a little.
Whether a specific colour was green or yellow. We eventually looked up the RGB value to settle it, and as it turns out it is the exact shade that’s halfway to yellow and halfway to green.
We were both equally correct in the end.
So it was chartreuse.
Did you date my former coworker? I used to use a chartreuse coathanger because it was the only one of that color, which made it easy for me to spot. One day, as I was putting my coat away, this coworker started talking as if we were already mid-way through an argument. “It’s so green. I don’t know why you said it’s yellow.” Huh? I had no idea what he was talking about at first. I asked if he meant my coathanger, and I responded that I didn’t know what color it was. (I didn’t know what “chartreuse” meant yet.) He ranted on, claiming we fought about it once before, even though this was the first time he’d even talked about my coathanger. It was bizarre.
I think that guy had something psychologically troubling going on. I’d also seen him: ask a question, make up an answer for that question, then immediately proceed to believe the answer he made up with 100% certainty. The question? “How do those Magic Eraser cleaning sponges work?” His answer? “They use paint.” I asked how it could possibly match the color of every surface it’s used on, but he insisted his answer must be right. Truly magical thinking.
I also saw him watch an ad for a random product, then promptly declare that he needed that product. I had always thought of ads as something to tune out, but he legit followed them as if they were friends giving advice. I had never seen anything like that.
Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!
Not tennis balls, no. Quite frankly I can’t remember what it was. Just the colour stuck 😅
My ex-girlfriend worked at a restaurant and they had an annual staff party which was just a house party at the manager’s house. When we opened the door and started taking our shoes off one of the new server girls was shouting at the manager “Don’t call me Lonestar!” and he was like “Yeah whatever Lonestar” and she screamed at the top of her lungs “DON’T CALL ME FUCKING LONESTAR!!!” and shoved him hard, he fell backwards and landed on his ass and she screamed a battle cry and started punching holes in the drywall, busting up her knuckles and bleeding everywhere. We put our shoes back on and just left. She got fired
That’s… Not really a couple dispute, is it? Still, pretty funny lol
He had the hots for her but I guess that doesn’t really count
“I can fix Lonestar.”
No joke I am 40% certain Lonestar went onto star in this viral video the timeline and location line up
“Sign in to confirm your age”
No, I don’t think I will. Thank you.
She should’ve just given him the raspberry.
What’s up with the calling Lonestar?
Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.
I imagine she formerly worked at a Lonestar Steakhouse. That or she had some affiliation with Texas. Being that these were restaurant folk, I’m leaning toward the first.
East coast Canadian girl who had never left Nova Scotia.
Spaceballs reference maybe?
Look, just don’t, OK?
Just completely random
We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.
A similar debate with my partner is how I’m found out I’m colorblind lol
Do you still have the picture? We’d love to see.
This is the couch up against our old mantle with painted brown bricks (we didn’t do that, we were renting)
Brown
Dang, we have a Couch with a similar color and I was just about to post the same story. It’s brown btw
Edit:
Hi, after seeing the couch I just want to say I’m not interested in purchasing it any more. I’m looking for a blue couch and that one is clearly brown. Thanks.
Vote for brown.
There’s nothing blue on that…

When you say you got rid of it, is it for sale? I’m in the market for a blue couch
Poor couch 😥
One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.
I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :
- Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
- What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
- Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it’s green.
- But it’s clearly blue…
- I don’t know what you mean, can’t you see that it’s green ?
- I can see very clearly that it’s blue.
- No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
- It isn’t though, it’s definitely closest to blue.
- A while later
- This is pointless… Let’s just call it turquoise.
- Turquoise it is.
- The next time
- Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
- They are green…
A couch is for life, not just for Christmas.

The answer to that question is “no”.
It’s turquoise. You wouldn’t argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though
Whether apple stems are perpendicular or parallel to the surface of the fruit.
Considering that it was about topology, that might very well be the smartest couple’s dispute I’ve ever heard of.
Incidental Tangent to the surface where the stem starts.
Is the answer not both? Depending on what part of the stem?
Now, that’s an interesting discussion!
No thats totally fair argument.
They had a whole stupid argument about… Cheese. It went from small arguing to actual conflict.
One time I was at a specialty beer and cheese shop and I saw this guy pushing a cart alone with two children. He generally looked beaten down and glum. The kids are rambunctious, he’s exhausted, wife is missing but obviously in the store with them.
He is browsing the cases, killing time waiting for his wife to come back. He grabs a small block of cheese, looks interested it and adds it to the cart.
A few minutes later, the wife returns and immediately spots the cheese block. She picks it up and screams “$10? For a block of cheese you haven’t even TRIED yet? Absolutely not.”
Then she hurled it back in the case and stomped off while he sullenly followed her with the cart and kids
Look, cheese is serious eats. And business.
