the give and take of marriage
I've come to terms with a few compromises I've had to make over the years of living with my now husband...
It has slowly but surely become my job to throw away the empty toilet paper roll and replace it with a new one - whether I was the one to use the last of it or not.
Thursday nights now belong to Smallville - not The O.C. (which, by the way, has introduced a whole new world of Tom Welling to me. um...not a bad trade off. yummy.)
We must always stock "real" mayo, "real" peanut butter, and "real" milk in the house (eg. no versions of "light" or "low fat"). Although, I have gotten him to bend on Lean Pockets. But I guess eating them 3 or 4 at a time cancels out the "low fat" factor...
Farting is a normal, every 15 minute occurrence. Stinky or not. I do, however, request a heads up when they are "pass out" stinky.
If there are leftovers in the fridge that begin to grow legs and dance around, it is my job to throw them out. If it weren't for me, we'd still have leftovers from last Thanksgiving.
Friends cannot be watched in a marathon-like sequence when he is around. I guess my Friends obsession has not rubbed off. However, he is a Sex and the City fan now - whether he likes it or not. Some things are just not up for compromise.

A marathon session is the only way to view Friends. Many things in marriage must be resolved with compromise but I demand that you stick to your stance on this issue.
hahaha Good point. Maybe I'll have to rethink that one...
