SWMBO OT - maybe it's just me but this drives me bananas

I used to write my grocery list on mine.  Safeway has requested that I shop elsewhere.  .

I have my wife's name tattooed like the joke. First and last letters show. "Ay". Her name is Amy.... :-??

The first time I ever heard that phrase was on an old PBS TV series in the 70's or 80's called Rumpole of the Bailey...  Every time I hear/see it now I think fondly of long suffering Rumpole...

My wife thinks it is hilarious. She hasn't heard the term before. She probably wishes I listened to her more though. . But we laugh about it. M
For the most part I haven't seen it used in a particulary negative context on here.

This thread is funny...

If somebody can write on a grain of rice, then a tiny Johnson should be no problem.

I used to know a guy named Harry Johnson. No idea if tiny. Or hairy.

I always listen to my wife. I told her years ago I don't like the words stop, no ,or don't unless its no don't stop then that's ok. She knows when I start talking about something I am going to get it so the sooner I get it the less she has to hear about it. Same with her though I always tell her to get things if she wants them. We do try to let each other know if its over several hundred though.

I have said this before and will say it again. A woman Is like a new puppy. Train the right and it's all good. Train them wrong and they end up at the shelter awaiting someone else to train them.

@lit. I agree 100 percent. The mrs and I pretty much get what we want within reason So really do get along great. If she wants something she gets it. If i want something I get it so really the SWMBO I s really kinda silly.

Let the guys who want to beta, be beta. Dont worry about it so much.

Wilma's not a big shopper so I have to do it for her. It's rough, but I manage.

That's pretty funny man.  My wife went out and bought my first egg "so I would shut up about wanting one".

I agree that it's stupid and I can't imagine being married to someone that would require that nickname. I roll my eyes when I see it.

My sense is that most people here use SWMBO tongue-in-cheek. I don't use it myself, but I don't see what the big deal is.

I totally agree it isn't a big deal. To each his own.

It's simply a variation of " if momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy" and "happy wife, happy life".

Perhaps people post it to fit in?
