I don't mind going to get the food-shopping. It doesn't stress me too much. But what drives me nuts is when my wife waits until I get home (about 3 times a week) then says "oh, can you buy me some cigarettes?" "What!!!!!" I say,...

badhoevedorp I envisage living closeby them for many years to come. So I guess its best if I bite the bullet now rather than let the the situation explode in months or years from now. Gladly my wife is fully understnding of my feelings.

When i go to McDonalds or some other burger place, I always ask for no mayo on my burger, do you ask them for no mayo, yes i want mayo, and why? I don't like to eat mayo, because it reminds of fat.
