My mom is the same way with my father... It's funny as shit to see.
Before she started getting too old to get down on the floor and up easily again she used to take his boots off for him every night. When he used to drink he'd come in and walk straight to his chair, she'd come outta the kitchen with a beer in hand and go straight to him. She'd hand him his beer and kneel down on the floor to take his boots and socks off.
His friends' wives started bitchin' because when the guys would come home with dad to hang out and have a brew they'd see him getting this treatment. Then they'd go home and say shit to their wives, you know the male version of hinting. So they came to mom and started in on her. "Why do you degrade yourself like that? How could you do that? You're setting a bad example..." all kinds of questions and recriminations.
Mom's response was that one of her roomates, after she left home, had been Japanese and had done the same things and more for her boyfriend. Mom had liked the idea and adopted it. "Besides," she reasoned, "he spends all day serving his country. He deserves a little 'service' when he gets home." They were not happy with that idea... Oddly, none of those women were Asian. Her Korean Army Wife friends agreed with her.
My wife does those things for me on occasion, but I don't expect it (nor did my father) and I always thank her. (As did my father.)

ANd it wasnt bought out of spite, alittle humor peeps, she likes it black and strong and I like a nice medium coffee so I bought some Guatemalan Antigua.... She likes them Costa Rican beans. French roasts too. .....
Sooo how long can my coffee/marital woes go on in this thread..???
Whatever I wanted? LOL...that is what he used to say!
No pedicures...just a long soak in a tub. He works on his laptop which really freaks me out, but he does it anyway. It is wireless, but DUH...it is still dangerous....and he is an electrical engineer; he knows what could happen. I just stay quiet and take him coffee......

My mom caters to my dad. For those who don't know, he was a cop until he retired and no matter what shift he was working or when he came home, she always had food ready and waiting for him, and she acted as mother and father when he couldn't be around...even when she worked. To this day I don't know how she did it.

Actually there's an interrupter circuit on almost any electronics made anymore. He'd get a mild tingle, but not enough to hurt him... He would however lose all of his work.
