At that point the tears would start and the Ive gained weight/had a baby stuff would start etc. Not knowing how to dress for your size due to weight gain is one thing and just giving up on yourself is not exactly going to make your partner want you- just cause you gain a few pounds it doesn't mean you can't make the most of yourself. A bit of make up and nice undies make you feel a whole lot better about yourself than drudging around in PJs. If you feel like you are looking good then you generally are more productive and more positive about yourself. Self esteem is a powerful thing!

Crocs should only be worn by children or old people gardening- anyone else wearing them shouldbe shot.
I agree it works both ways. I hear some men bemoan their wives aren't classy or whatever but they're not exactly leading by example themselves. I think dressing up a bit is a good thing for everyone and like you said it can make you feel more positive and productive.

Like all relationship issues people need to talk to each other - we all have different expectations I suppose. Society doesn't help - we've been dressing down consistently since the 80s.

No it isn't. I like crocs but deserve to be shot, apparently.

Well they are for me. I can't be doing with flip-flops, so as an easy-usable piece of footwear, they suit me fine.

When can I expect the hitman?

I only wear flip flops to the pool or around the house...I don't own croc and can't see a situation where I would wear them anywhere.

flip-flops are such an inferior piece of footwear.

crocs-
You needn't keep your toenails trimmed
you can wear socks with them
just throw them in the machine when they're grubby
they don't smell
they can't give you blisters
they float
they're waterproof

Seevenseas I must say I am very disappointed I had obviously given you a bit too much credit!saying a shoe floats is not exactly a selling point! And as for the hobbit like toenails-get laid much?

Let's hope you can remove the quickly when you fall in a river then...or you'll be floating upside down
