My wife married into my Warhammer collection. We have a Warhammer room. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even like Warhammer but has her own painted figurines.

    A healthy relatinship is also one where both partners understand, respects and upholds the other’s right to have personal preferences and enjoy them.

    The most basic show of respect here would be to have two separate jars of peanut butter, so both can enjoy their favorite.

    Most people have pleasure when seeing their loved ones having pleasure themselves. It shows affection and care for the other and is a basic show of empathy.

    It’s a good post for the laughs but it is a depressing admission for a relationship that long.

    What are the consequences of the dude buying a separate peanut butter jar for him? Divorce? Accusations of lying and being unfaithful by thought?

      There is a possibility that his preference for peanut butter isn’t that strong, and it’s easier to just stock one kind. It’s also possible she eats significantly more peanut butter than him, so his jar would sit unfinished for much longer, possibly separating out.

      And if it’s something like that, it’d just be a funny way to state their situation.
