What's the stupidest thing you've ever said/done w/ your partner?

[2BGoodAgain]

Okay, I'm dying to know...mostly b/c I've prob done some of the stupidest things out there to say/do with a partner/date/etc...

What's the stupidest thing you've ever said/done w/ your partner?

Apparently, during winter, putting in regular window washer fluid, instead of de-icer window washer fluid... was grounds to be dumped... really, i even asked years later... and that's all it was.

The stupidest thing I ever did with / to DH was early on in our marriage scream I want a divorce in a fit of jealous rage, then drive 200 miles home alone to get away from him.  

After that we learned more about boundaries & how to fight fair.  

On a less serious note, the 1st time he asked me to wash his clothes while we were dating I didn't check his pockets & accidently washed his cell phone.

Probably about twenty things that could qualify as the worst but Ill share the most recent,

my girlfriend was quizzing me about the female friends on my facebook page (I dont even use facebook but have a profile)- I blurted out that a certain girl I previously had hopes of marrying.

it got her very upset actually so I really need to be more careful.

[Mrin]

Waking across the street chatting with my financé about some random woman I know. Financé asks "is she attractive?' I say sorta, maybe a 6 or a 7.

Then she says, "well what am I?"

Should have been an easy layup. Right? "Baby, you're an 11." Boom! Mic drop. 

Ya, I didn't say that. I didn't f*** up too badly but there is a right way to answer that question and a wrong way to answer that question. Any question on the wrong side is almost equally wrong. 

And I knew it the second it came out of my mouth. I really needed the rewind 5 seconds of life button.

I'm feeling generous so I will give you a second one. I am famous for "man looking". You know like not being able to find your keys and they're sitting there on the table. 

This is my worst case of man looking ever. I asked her if we had any glue like school glue. She said yeah it's in the junk drawer. So I opened up the junk drawer and I look down and there's not any glue. So I close it and say it's not here. She says yes it is look again. I open up the door and sure enough no school glue. I tell her it's absolutely not here. she walks over opens up the drawer and pulls out the school glue that's been sitting on top in the middle of the drawer. Here's my thing - it is a white bottle with a blue screw cap and it looks like a bottle of ranch dressing to me. like exactly like a miniature bottle of ranch dressing. even the label has that I'm a bottle of ranch dressing feel to it.

School glue is supposed to be a white plastic bottle that's not curved with a pointy orange top. 

After laughing hysterically at me she then asked the most pertinent question. If I thought it was a bottle of ranch dressing what would it be doing in the junk drawer and not in the refrigerator. Yeah I didn't have good answer to that one either.

I still think it looks like ranch dressing https://images.app.goo.gl/4drxi1QvNjatpQx99

It's a long story but maybe it was subconscious.   We were riding in the back of my friend's car after our 1st weekend away together.  He got car sick . . . all over me!  She quickly diverted to a rest stop.  We told each other we loved each other for the 1st time, yes covered in puke.  I was actually sprinting away from him toward a ladies' room at the time he yelled ILY across a parking lot.   We changed our clothes & packed the gross ones in plastic bags for the rest of the trip home.  When we got home, I just dumped everything into the washer without looking checking.   He lived in an apartment & would have had to go to a laundromat to clean his clothes.

this one is a bit weird...

my gf and I were talking and one night, something about threesomes comes up... and i'm like, off hand, talking about the time i had a threesome b/c i was a low point in my life, and instead of my usual, nah, i'm good.... i go along with it, b/c my thinking at the time was... hell, why not? i had nothing to lose... and how the threesome should have been the best fantasy of my life, but it really wasn't.. not really a big deal... and honestly, not that great....

my gf looks at me blankly and goes...." you never told me this..."

I realized it was something i had shared with my ex-AP years ago... (slaps forehead).... 

to distract her, i bring up a completely different topic we had talked about before about my babysitter and me....

she again gives me a blank look and says "you never mentioned this before, either"...

yeah...... double whammy. It was a LONG night, let me tell you....

Don't make that mistake twice...

On the man looking thing I am still sometimes teased about asking where something was when I was actually holding it my hand. Of course my kids were there too, which didn't help.

It's not quite fair to call it man looking as certainly women do it too.

[Pleasant-Sage]

Me and my wife (at the time) were teasing each other and being playful. Part of it was also calling each other names. She said something along the lines of "take that, jerkface" and then I responded "fine then, fatbutt".

The game was instantly over and we both were losers. Her feelings were hurt because she took it that I called her fat. I sort of did but didn't mean it like that. Spent the better part of two days apologizing until she got over it.

[Shining One]

I've had quite a few. I'll start with this one.

Track Day

One of my friends had a company event at a race track. They only used the track for a couple hours, so he invited his friends to use up the rest of the day. Most of us brought our partners with us. Towards the end, we were doing timed laps for a prize pool and my partner asked if she could ride with me for the timed lap. I said: "No, you'll throw off my lap time". That's not something a woman wants to hear.

This thread was a fabulous start to my Saturday!

I'm not there yet with my latest relationship, but I suspect we soon will be because the third time we laid eyes on each other, highly inappropriately at his place of work, he blurted out 'I love you'! Not only that but he had his arms around me and I'd said something about not wanting to smell like an old lady with this english lavendar soap and he leaned over and sniffed my neck! I barely knew him at this point and remember thinking 'you said you love me?' and then 'did you just smell me?'!

No man that's the faires messing with you, people have been experiencing this for millennia, they like to fool with you and for some reason love socks, just a single one, not the pair.

Probably the stupidest sounding argument we've had was in the first few months of dating. Timshel had mentioned she was a big fish fan so I spent a few hours researching a great fish recipe and shopping for all the ingredients. Then brought everything over her house for a dinner date. As I was preparing she asked me if she could put some lemon on the fish, as she liked lemon on fish and I told her no, that I was going to stick the the recipe I had prepared for. A few moments later as I turned back around I witnessed her with a lemon shaped bottle in her hand, assaulting my fish with lemon and destroying any chance I had to cook it the way I had planned.

I was furious, declared the date over, told her to enjoy the fish and that I was leaving. At the time I could not get an uber where she lived so I started walking home, 10 miles. She thought I was kidding and just went outside to cool off, but when she came looking for me 10 minutes later I was already out of the neighborhood and on my way home. We ended up working it out but to this day whenever I think about it my heart rate still goes up a little.

hmm... yeah, that sucks for the guy... i recalled one gf telling me that she's had better, and i replied, so have i....  somehow, i was the person in the wrong... lol.

[2BGoodAgain]

i once did the taboo act of calling the girl by the wrong name during sex and apologizing....

then she looked at me and said... "that's my name....."

[Ellener]

And I think to myself 'what a wonderful world'....
