actual recent picture of @baygirl

Ya know, it's been a while, but I remember her being a lot hotter than that. Although the outfit seems right, so maybe my memory is wrong . . . .

Am I on the other side of the house, AND on a different floor? I didn't fucking hear you!

Playing devils advocate here, maybe SHE should communicate to him as to WHY she thinks its bad. Its legal. No different than drinking in the eyes of the law at this point. Perhaps she is in tune with the old mindset of weed=burnout.

Both sides sound like a tough spot to be but the root of the issue is accepting the other for who they are and that sounds like either really is accepting of the other.

I accept that she doesn't like it. My beef is that she doesn't like it SO much that she is willing to end a relationship over it. In any situation, I try to find a compromise so both sides end up accepting the resolution. I do not respond well to "my way or the highway" unless it is such a big deal logically that it makes sense.

If I was doing meth, I would get it. If I was sleeping with other women - fine. But this is something that is legal. I do not get addicted to it. It has minimal if any negative effects on me, and ZERO effects on her.

I view it similar to someone saying "Stop eating chocolate or I will leave you". Chocolate CAN help cause obesity which is clearly not great, but in moderation there is nothing really wrong with it. So basically it is just her saying "I don't like something that you find pleasurable, so you are gonna stop it and that is that".

It isn't that I don't respect her opinion, but her extreme hatred of the stuff is illogical. If she came to me with anything that shows how it negatively affected her, I would concede.

I still may when my supply is used up, but it wouldn't happen without a grudge on my part. I don't drink almost ever and I no longer smoke and barely play video games as she disliked both. Especially during this lockdown, it would be nice if she was willing to compromise on something at least.

Damn Kloubek. Ive got 99 problems with my wife, but weed/alcohol ain't one of them. I'm not sure I could have married someone that's aggressively anti-drug.

Our 30th is coming up in about 6 weeks and we were living common law before we got married. Some of this stuff should have been figured out before getting married unless there were mitigating circumstances that brought about the marriage. Certainly there are things that either of us do that bugs the other one but not to the point of ending a relationship and the shit we've been though over those 3 decades makes the little annoyances that others speak of in this thread look just like that, little annoyances. We have discussions, come to a mutual agreement and move on. After 30 years, we've both figured out that we kind of like each other a bit and enough so to keep having discussions and adapting as need be. My best advice, don't go to bed mad because letting something fester does no one any good - grudges have no place in a successful relationship.

Amature's.

Pull out the monopoly.

That's when tables start getting flipped, kids start crying, pets retreat to their safe spaces.

Amateurs all of you.

Double monopoly using two separate version where you get two sets of currency but it's only good on the corresponding board.

That's what I was thinking. Something this fundamental can't have popped up out of nowhere.

Mail order bride maybe?

Nah... she imported herself before I met her.

My weed use has been off an on over our 12 years being together and she never knew I had touched the stuff again until now. I never lied to her... but never voluntarily told her either. In fact, with smells lingering in the garage I figured she had to have known but it appears not.

I always knew she never liked it, but didn't know it was a deal breaker for her until now.

And Speeddog - I agree with everything you said. Though I must point out that you both sound like logical, reasonable people. Unfortunately, not everyone approaches disagreements with sound mind and normality.

I hear being single is awesome. All my single friends keep telling me.

I hear being triple is awesome. I keep reading about it in the Airdrie facebook groups.

Being a triple turns into being single after awhile though.

What would be the point of that? What happens if you're bankrupt on one side is that game over? How do you traverse the whole double map if you're broke ass and keep landing on someone's properties?

Might as well just play 2 separate games.

I feel like this ends in a flipped table 10/10 times before the first bankruptcy

[The_Rural_Juror]

Now combine Risk and Monopoly.

You can just stay on one side or figure eight the whole board depending on the enemy property developments.
The money can be combined if you want-it's a house rule.
Added home rules include improving the utilities-if you own two on one side the standard rules apply but add a third and you multiply the first result (10x roll) by four in essence a 40x roll payment.
If all four are owned it's 10x10 roll so up to $1200 possible roll.
And if you land on a square occupied by an enemy you send them directly to jail.

Man. Have you guys not discovered video games or something?
