HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And then I found out that he didn't have to do chores as a child. Uh oh. So off he trundled to work.
Or how I would never pee in front of him, you know, to keep things fresh and mysterious. As my new hero Betty Draper says, if he keeps looking at me like that I feel like I'm earning my keep.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And how I swore I would never go through his stuff and get rid of it without asking him. Because I RESPECT him. I would never DO that. They are HIS things. Besides, it is irrelevant anyway because we will be sharing everything 50/50 so he will periodically go through his own stuff and flag things for the Goodwill bag OF HIS OWN ACCORD. The bag that we will carry, jointly, to the car, because you know we SHARE things. Everything.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Because there are two garbage bags of Jeff's "things" for the Goodwill in the trunk of my car right now, not a single one vetted by him. And I'm pretty certain he won't miss a single one, since they are all either unworn gifts or clothes he hasn't touched in at least a year. I have reached a new low. I'm not saying I regret it, but how much lower than my own principles can I go? It's a slippery slope, I tell you. A slippery slope.

Ahh, cruel reality, it gets us all in the end ;)
So, your husband doesn't read your blog then huh?
So I am just getting the chance now to catch up on your posts since I am not getting much sleep these days. And I have to say that I am totally feeling sorry for myself that I am not part of this witty blogosphere or facebook network. Sigh. I feel so old! Love the posts though! (ps this is HR not BZ btw)
Oh the list is long and the slope pretty darn steep. And slippery.
And I hope he doesn't read your blog ;) Or that he holds his stuff lightly, with an open hand, as it were.
We bad wives have to stick together.
Wait? Cleaning out the closets make you a BAD wife? FIE! You deserve foot rubs or something for doing all that HARD WORK on his behalf! Clean closet-maker wife=GOOD! GOOOOOOOD!
Reality meets Fantasy and kicks its butt.
I need to find a way to get mine out of the house for a day so I can do the same. I may have to leave the bags in the trunk for a while until I'm certain he won't miss anything. Slippery slope indeed.
Lol! Ah...how much we change. I have a similar list of things I thought I'd never do as a parent. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ha!
Was that whole "sharing household chores" written into your wedding vows?? Maybe we should warn other soon-to-be married women....
Nooooo.... say it ain't so! I've been single so long now that I forget what it's like to lay oneself bare (as it were). On the whole, however, I'd have to say that a subtle closet purge of his stuff hardly ranks in the list of Things That Destroy The Beautiful Mystery. Peeing in front of one another? Definitely a bigger offense. (Also-- WOOHOOO Betty Draper! So glad you're loving the Mad Women!)
Somewhere, Mr. G. is crying over this post, wondering how women can be so cruel.
Bless you for being honest. At least with us! HAHAHAHA :)
I've done this same thing... wahhh ha ha...
Your secret is safe with me. I swear.
No, I think because he respects YOU, you are able to make the decisions to help him clear out things you both know he doesn't need. It takes real mutual respect and knowledge of each other to be able to clean out things for our partner.
