Should I divorce Haruka over this -- serious advice only
Advertisements [?]
So, I opened the dishwasher yesterday and shrieked,"What the fuck is THIS doing in here?!" "This" being my very nice and very expensive Chef's knife. The knife I've told her 500 times must be used, washed and dried immediately after use, and put in the drawer back in it's blade guard, snug as a bug in a rug.

God knows how many times she's done this before behind my back. The trust is gone.

What should I do, DU????

Between this and finding out my Border Collies are Indigo, my world has been turned upside down.

:cry:
