over or under with the TP? i don't care as long as you replace it.
no baby talk or cutesy nick-names.
i don't care if you look at other women. don't stare and don't touch. it doesn't matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home. BTW i'll most likely look at another man or two myself. please keep any jealousy you may feel under control.
don't name my body parts. i'm not naming yours.
i don't like "weird" pizza toppings. if you want those, get your own damn pizza.
put up with my book buying and star trek/star wars/sg-1 rewatching & i'll put up with your sports watching/fishing/golfing/whatever.
i'll never ask you to rub my feet.
i'll most likely make snarky comments at the tv show or movie we're watching at home. feel free to add your own.
it's hard for me to take a complement. but don't let that stop you from giving them.
i hope not to gain a whole lot of weight in the future. if i do, ignore it the best you can.
don't wait for valentine's day to show me that you love me. saying it to me daily along with a hug is a good start.
i don't need to do anything special for my birthday or our anniversary. just remember them with take-out. even a day or two before is fine. just remember it's not that day.
i'm not a social animal (but you probably knew that) if and when your friends come over, i'll say hello and then go off to another room to read a book. BTW if you want to keep having them over, you'll clean up after them. or ask them to.
we won't have a song that's "ours"
i'll make you a sandwich this time if you make me one next time.
i'll never bring up obscure anniversaries like the first time we kissed or when our first date was.
no pets, please. if you really want a dog, it will stay outside. i don't care if it's raining or snowing, that's what a dog house or the garage is for.
i doubt the waiter is flirting with me. and if he is, he's just looking for a bigger tip.
ETA: i doubt i'll ever ask you to go get me "feminine supplies" i try to keep well stocked with those. but if i do and you do it without complaint (this includes sighs, frowning or eyerolling) i'll love you even more.
i might ask you to hold my purse now and then. but i use a back-pack for that, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing.
the dishes and laundry will pile up, can't escape that fact. either due to me being sick, tired, or just not feeling like it. if you feel the urge to comment (this includes sighs, frowning or eyerolling) fight it by washing some dishes or doing a load of towels.
ETA 2: usually i forget where the car is parked in a parking lot. i hope you'll make a note of it.
it's unlikely i'll wear any lingerie for you. but if i do, don't expect a victoria's secret model.
please limit public displays of affection to hand holding & the occasional brief kiss or hug
i rarely dress-up. appreciate it when i do.
i'll do my best to support you, but if you want to quit your job, sell everything and live in a tent in the andes or hitchhike around the world you're on your own.
the rest i'll tell you about as the situations come up.
