  - hey, there was seriously possibility of having been here for 4 years, i was getting nothing on my last day. - Andie Mar 11, 07:48 1
    - Oh, it's your last day. I retract 33% of my snark. nm - Dignan Mar 11, 07:49
- yay! (where?) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 11, 07:47 3

- I'll say she's likely right. Dude is using the "I do this to buy YOU nice things" angle, when in reality, he does it to buy HIM nice things. - Jim Mar 11, 07:54
- he is. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 07:54
- "I need this so I can take the elevater down to FREEDOM!" -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 07:52
- neither - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 07:49
- he should work less and see what happens. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 07:45
- get her pregnant -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 07:45 6
  - oooh, 'cause then she'll be so busy with the kid that she won't have time to think about how much he works. -- nm - mafic Mar 11, 07:51 4
    - pregnant women and single moms are never ever lonely. it's scientific fact. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:51 3
      - or bitter when they have to do everything themselves. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 07:52 1
        
        (but znu was obviously joking) -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 07:52
      - *begins popping the popcorn* -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 07:52
  - seriously, though... - znufrii Mar 11, 07:47
- Was the sudden ridiculous job hours something after the marriage started or prior? - Will Hunting Mar 11, 07:44
- *shakes head* He is, but he still should stop working so much - oblique Mar 11, 07:43 23
  - [deleted] 22
    - I don't understand the desire to work 70-80 hours a week just to support excess spending - oblique Mar 11, 07:45 21
      - [deleted]
      - He's not doing it to support excess spending, that's just the leverage he's using. He's probably a really ambitious guy who sees working hard now as - Roger More Mar 11, 07:47 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I shouldn't say *probably* etc, but that was my personal take. -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 07:47

        If busting my ass makes my wife happy then her and I are going to have a conversation - oblique Mar 11, 07:48 9
        
        The point here is, she's flat out saying it doesn't make her happy, and he's telling her she's wrong. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:48 8
        
        He may be right in that regard. My point was, if he really believes it's just to make her happy, I wouldn't be doing it, if I was him - oblique Mar 11, 07:49 7
        
        I'm pretty sure he's doing it for himself, because it makes him happy. The fact it means his wife can buy expensive stuff is just a fringe benefit. -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 07:52 6
        
        and I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least a part of why she was attracted to him in the first palce. - znufrii Mar 11, 07:54

        I, personally, don't mark my life's work or derive my life's pleausre in how high I can move in my career. The things of this world are too fleeting - oblique Mar 11, 07:55 1
        
        That's a personal decision you have made for yourself and your family. Honestly, in the same circumstances I'd make the same decision. - Roger More Mar 11, 07:56
        
        Even if that's the case, the flip side to the argument is that if it *truly* doesn't make her happy, then he shouldn't be doing it either -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 07:53 1
        
        or at least work harder at making her happy and being with her. which may or may not require a cut in hours worked. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:54
        
        either way it's not exactly healthy for his personal life. -- nm - mafic Mar 11, 07:47
        
        I thought the thumbs up or down was the ultimate symbol of judging. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 07:47
      - the flip side is, some jobs demand it. like, if you work 40 hours, you will be ineffectual or replaced. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 07:46 3
        
        Personally, I wouldn't work that job for very long - oblique Mar 11, 07:47 1
        
        sure, that's fine. that's why some people do it and some don't. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 07:48
        
        It's stuff like this that makes it almost impossible to answer. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:47
- Guessing: her. But there's no way to know. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:42
- Do they have kids? -- nm - amoxy Mar 11, 07:42 1
  - [deleted]
- impossible to say. they should make a deal. they agree to live for three months on 3/4 of his salary, and then they decide. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 07:41

- *headdesk* - znufrii Mar 11, 07:38
- that's just stupid. -- nm - decline Mar 11, 07:38
- ... why don't th ey consider a bill that rewards the non-use of salt, rather than banning it? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 07:37 1
  - That would certainly be more logical (although still not a good idea since salt is necessary to some degree). -- nm - Don Homer Mar 11, 07:38

Apparently we shouldn't eat chicken at the Cheesecake factory -- (link) - oblique Mar 11, 07:25 14
- They keep saying "Worst". I do not think that word means what they think it means. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 07:34 1
  - (Also, I've been to Cheesecake Factory twice, and none of those chicken choices jumped out at me. Bah!) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 07:35
- or, don't eat the whole thing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 07:27
- I don't see the need for the word "chicken" in your subject line... -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 07:26 10
  - I'd be one of the bigger food snobs here, but I quite liked the Cheesecake Factory when I went. -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 07:40 1
