50 Weeks of Marriage...
...and this is what passes for a fight in my house:
Me [walking in the door at 5pm after seeing my friend L.]: Hey, honey.
Will: Did you have fun?
Me: Yeah, we just caught up and went to Ernie's Taco House.
Will: You went to Ernie's?
Me: Yeah.
Will: I didn't know you were going to eat!
Me: It was three o'clock! We were hungry!
Will: I can't believe you had tacos without me!
Me: It was a quesadilla. Anyway, remember last week?
Will: What are you talking about?
Me: You had a burrito while I was working.
Will: I don't--
Me: You went to Los Tacos while I was at the Adoption Fair!
Will: I-- oh.
Me: So what do you want for dinner?
Will: NOTHING! ...or tacos.
I had Los Tacos for dinner. Delish.

Now YOU were near MY house! Ha ha! Will will get a kick out of that. : )

I always feel the same way when I know Dave has a burrito without me. And vice versa.

this sounds a lot like what goes on in our house on weekends. When we separate, we need to coordinate the meals. So crazy.

I can't believe you went to Ernie's without ME.

My sister and I have to keep food secrets from her boyfriend as well.
Me: Let's go get sushi.
Nelly: But Devin's at work.
Me: Well he doesn't have to know.
Nelly: ...let's do this.

Funny. Kinda like when Adelphia was glad/resentful when I admitted to buying cupcakes and hiding them from her in the freezer.

That's my kind of fight. Tacos totally fire me up!

LOL! I had a similar "argument" with my boyfriend when he saw a downloaded episode of Curb your enthusiasm *without me*. It's funny to see what little "rules" one unwittingly develops in a relationship.

I was a total dick about the tacos and I refused to eat until I was weak from hunger.

How dare he have a buritto without you. That's grounds for divorce I say. Next thing you know...he'll have a fling with a chalupa. =)

been married 15 years -- the arguments don't get much more sophisticated than that one over here. a litle louder, maybe, but kinda the same.

Yup, that's a totally reasonable argument to have.
And tonight, after work? Tacos Al Pastor. For two. Heaven.

I do the same thing to Daniel when he goes to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch when working. He's much more mature about the whole thing though and didn't say a word when I went for sushi at our favorite place yesterday. :) We only have these types of arguments after almost three years of marriage. I like it.

I see marriage counseling in your future. Probably by the Mexican-born cook at a taco stand.
