I hate

Some people, for example if introvert in character, do require a little time to gather thoughts. In that case, perhaps a short silence is preferable.

Agreed. I love Mrs Breeks very dearly, but she is incapable of making a simple statement. It has to involve the street she was on, the age and demeanour of the person involved, what else happened that day and how the weather was at the time.

Drives me insane. I’m working or reading a book or something. I don’t need a ten minute monologue when you could just say “Saw Peter earlier, he was pissed and fell over”.

Problem is the love very much bit. You have to sit there and feign interest even if you got the gist in the first two seconds.

Different people articulate themselves in different ways. It's not just about them talking to you.

I know :-)

I do this and it drives Mrs Hedge crazy.

did you pick that up from me, I used to drive you mad with that.

"...and that's when I moved to the third house because..."
"FFS I only said do you want another beer Ciq?!"
"...A funny thing happened to me with a beer once..."

This has been an education, I thought it was just Mrs B who uses 1000 words when one will do, preferably when I'm concentrating on something.

I showed her @RagnarHairybreeks post and she simply said 'it's a woman thing', with the undercurrent of disdain that meant 'you couldn't possibly understand, mere male who talks in bullet points'.

Its not a gender-based thing. It’s the opposite with mrs D and I. She’s fairly succinct, whereas I can ramble on for seemingly limitless number of unfinished sentences, without really ever coming to whatever point I might, at some point, have planned to make.

Mrs B thinks it is, if you want to argue the point with her you're a braver man than me.

Referring to one's partner as 'Mr/Mrs {last part of username}'...

is Mi Julie still the preferred method?

Mi Julie

Very brash.

'the julie I'm married to.' if anything

mine julie?

She works in a subterranean environment?

My wife and I are male and female respectively (both by birth and identity). She has taken my surname entirely voluntarily. (It isn’t Breeks).

My daughter identifies as gay. I shared (as a single man) a house after uni with a gay man (and dear friend to this day) for a year.

Yes. Mrs Breeks. Problem?

Nope, because that's her name legally and by choice, as well as being a convenient shorthand, it doesn't imply ownership. The person with whom I share a loving and equal relationship and identifies as the gender of their choice is a little cumbersome.

Thank you.

My wife and I are male and female respectively

Have to admit I've not come across this before. Congratulations!

Can I just say that Mrs Jangle also struggles to be succinct.

...anyway, it's specifically the combination of 'Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mx...' and a forum username that I personally find cutesy to the point of irrational irritation, if not actual hate.

Nothing to do about real-world surnames or genders - most usernames don't reflect either of these, so how could I infer anything about who's taken their spouse's real-world surname?

How about people adapting their usernames? Betcha love that. Hatbeard used to refer to his other half as Hatbroad, so how about RagnarHairyBra, ColinTheBlonde or stone- OK, maybe not.

I mean, Jana is on the forum so I could have tagged her but she only reads the memes thread now days so there is no point..

I did use DethWife for a spell.

Deth is not my real name, although I do have a beard.

for a spell

Did it help you achieve the required state of enchantment?

Lol.
I am sure she is part witch (in a good way)
