Re: What basic life skills have you not mastered yet?

Opening mail

And no, I legit got married just so I wouldn't have to do it.

Sigh. I wish someone would marry me and open my mail. But then I’ve also never mastered dating. Never even held hands or kissed anyone. So yeah. The dumb thing is I never used to be frightened of mail and then my mom got cancer and died. The first time I opened a $99,000.00 hospital bill I thought I was gonna die.

.... ??? Do you just have an envelope phobia?
How much snail mail are you receiving that this is even something you'd need a dedicated spouse to take over?
How did you notice the mail-opening skills of said spouse? Did they happen to be in the offing when something arrived? Were they carrying a letter-opener due to a stationary fetish that neatly complements your phobia? How do you get to know somebody well enough to see them open their mail before committing to courtship?
Do you do something for your spouse to make up for the extra hours of mail-opening around Christmas card season?
Is it just opening that's a problem, or does you spouse have to sign for the mail and answer it, too?
Were you traumatized by a tricky birthday card as a child? Is it just a painful reminder of all the years you wasted collecting stamps?

... ... I have so many questions! This is the most fascinating concept I've come across all day.

NAYRT but I’m the anon above you, and if AYRT has ongoing medical expenses or is in heavy duty debt for some other reason, it’s not birthday cards so much as “hey guess what you might have to sell your house to pay for that hospital stay ;-) :-)!!!”

AYRT: Yeah, I saw the anon above me after I'd typed and posted that and felt dreadful for being humorous about it - somehow, I just didn't associate the word 'mail' with 'bills' but more personal correspondence. So sorry to those with horrible reasons to hate the concept of post :(

"stationery fetish" LMAO

Joking aside, I think my repulsion comes from being an administrative assistant and being responsible for so much paper at work. Mail is the last thing I want to deal with at home.

When I started cohabiting with my (now) husband, he went to the mailbox and was like, "um, this looks like a month's worth of mail." And then he did something about it. And yeah, that's when I knew he was a keeper.
