I'm just imagining this guy shrugging every time his wife talks to him ๐Ÿ˜†

I really don't mind the appearance of either set, but I'm not a fan of the way that the new ones break in the dish washer. Ceramic shards are sharp and the mechanical repairs are expensive. Not to mention replacing the full set of these fragile bowls every 6 months.

Sincerely, someone who purchased bowls 30 years ago and discovered that modern craftsmanship is subpar.

And the dust is fine enough to go through the dish washer filter. It's truly annoying

I think the set was from sears? I dunno, we're back to the old set until my partner finds another design worth swapping to.

Aiyaa.

I found that Corell dishware is still as good today as ot was 40 years ago. Excellent stuff, light and tough. But when it does break, it breaks hard.

Although it has been a while since I bought some.

Sometimes the thing she wants requires effort though.

"Are you going to help me?"

Despite not once thinking about a perfectly fine room color being over a year old.

In this case it's always better to just go along with it. Your partner will be happier, you will be happy that they are happy and overall they are likely right that changing the wall colour is a good idea. If you push back you are likely going to both end up unhappy, not to say you should always just roll over and do what your partner says, but when they ask if you are going to help, that's your opening to come up with another possible suggestion.

You did do something: You worked to earn the money for new bowls.

Nobody will give you back that lifetime. Was it worth it?

There is absolutely nothing in that story which suggests that the wife doesn't also have a job.

Or maybe you didn't and the wife worked to earn the money for new bowls.

Or you are landlords and other people worked to earn the money for new bowls.

No. It was not worth it

Yes peace and quiet is worth it. Arguing about stuff you don't care about is the path to darkness. Let them have their bowls
