I am watching these little wonders from Scotland, I love them, and this is THE best house I’ve seen in all these Hollywood star videos. My god these two are so real. After watching yesterday I was desperate for some Matzo and salt and I’m not even Jewish 😜🏴💖🤪🤪
I love how the dog sits up and appears to be looking directly at dad and is a focused listener. The dog is validating its owner. Yes, your feelings matter dad.
I love Becky - she just sits there, then leaves, comes back, and is looking at Mandy as if to say 'Enough talking...pay attention to me.' He doesn't, and she departs again. So so sweet! And, love the honesty of Kathryn and Mandy and how they can communicate openly about situations.
I love this couple-they are so real. It’s left-brain vs right-brain thinking bumping up against one another. Here’s a tip Mandy & Kathryn: hire an interior designer to design a floor plan or download an design app. There are dozens of them now that can measure and do the layouts for you.
Love LOVE this. It's hilarious how when you're married a long time, you tend to have the same fight over and over like a favorite record played so long it skips. More than once I've begged my husband, "Couldn't we try having a DIFFERENT fight?? We've had this same damned fight so many times, I don't even need you here for it because I can do both parts from memory myself!!"
I wish he could have empathized with her feelings connected to being misunderstood and she could have empathized with his hurt feelings of being dismissed. And instead of defending they could apologize. I think they’d both feel better. 💜.
Meh, that tends to come later. I can't tell you how many times I've been mid-scrap with my husband (of over thirty years) and said, "I realize I need to apologize for that...and I will later...but I'm not sorry NOW!!"
I'm crying with laughter, as someone who recently survived a modest reno with my husband, I totally get it. After 40 yrs together, no one understands how we bought furniture, chose carpets and blinds and no actual lives were lost!
I have loved Mandy ever since Criminal Minds and was so grieved when he left the show...... I am thrilled to have found this YTube channnel and met his wonderful wife! My husband and I have been married 45+ years.... and these two just make me chuckle.... I can't wait to watch more of these shows!!!
My husband and I were married for 50 years and we never agreed on anything, I swear my sisters took bets on how long we would stay together but except for the times we wanted to strangle each other they were the best years despite our differences.
Mr. Patinkin......man’s best friend is his dog.......not his wife. I’ve loved you ever since The Princess Bride and I love your singing! I’m just “sure” you can do no wrong! Ha! Ha!
Honestly, my deceased husband and I had so many similar situations. Same reactions, same perceptions, and now it's just me, and I do kind of miss those. Thanks to you all for these videos and your authenticity.
People are often mean BECAUSE they are irritable lol … they are not exclusive. Often it’s the causation… and I’d venture to guess this isn’t about couches lol. Why am I saying this … you are both my favorite role models 🌟
I use graph paper and I draw the room to scale then I draw the pieces of my funiture to scale, cut them out and place them into various configurations in my graph paper room. That way, I only have to move the furniture once. It works great!
Oh dear.....this poor man does not understand this woman’s need to control the nesting process because her patience level to have it too complicated is gone......gone like a tide that will NEVER return again. It was all used up in the previous decades. I could be described exactly as her. “ MEAN”. “HURTFUL “. But it cannot be helped. It is truly not meant to be. It is very hard for a partner to understand.....Good thing for them the love is strong. My partner and I had to stop living together. They are a WONDERFUL COUPLE!! Adore them!!
Mandy seems like my husband in our relationship. He has no patience for me. He doesn’t have any idea how upset he makes me. Anymore, I just go with what he wants. She laughs at what he husband says she is like. She doesn’t understand how she comes off. Just as my husband doesn’t see how he is in my eyes. Now, having said that, my husband has come a long way and has done almost a complete turn around, though I still concede to his wishes. It is easier than fighting over everything.
You two are wonderful people. You’ve tried to do so much for the world in general. And I believe you are good parents and love each other. However, this makes me sad. Not just because I was there for decades in a miserable (mildly put) marriage (and wasted my life), but that I never had the chance of marrying a man with whom I was in love, he with me, and could weather the differences and blossom from them. It also makes me sad because life is so short, time too precious, relationships so special when you have an especially good one such as yours. It’s not worth the waste of time and stress on things that can be worked out with more affection. It also makes me sad that this was aired publicly. But you two are like that, not insecure in yourselves or afraid to say it like it is, and for that I do appreciate and admire. Still... maybe it should be something private because not everyone will understand your methods. It also makes me sad because you two are being made unhappy during such an already overly miserable health situation worldwide. You're lucky to be alive. And/or not fighting off covid-19 for months, unable to breathe or live much life at all, as friends of my family are doing. And it makes me sad because I no longer can own a home of my own, I must live with family, and I’d dearly dearly DEARLY love to have what you have. You are so fortunate (yes, you worked hard for it, but fortunate nonetheless.) It doesn't really matter where furniture goes, as long as you can keep that lovely home that you have for as long as you can keep it. Aside from all that, I have learned in my life Feng shui is a real thing and can affect people, adversely if it isn’t the same for both. I can move something as simple as a few containers on my desk to make it more convenient, and suddenly it feels so much better-or worse. If you both don’t agree on the same Feng shui, not sure what to say about that, other than compromise... one gets their way this time, one the next, and so on. And lastly. When there is a problem, always look at least one level below what you are actually saying, feeling, thinking... because more often than not, what you are saying, feeling, thinking is not what you really are doing. Dig deeper, as many levels down as you need, to get to what is really bothering you. Can be surprising. And often unites people instead of otherwise. Forgive me for butting in, however it’s what I do and have done all my adult life, even as a kid. I just want to help people. I’ve lived through so much trauma and pain with very little help. If I can spare someone even a little of what I’ve been through, it makes my life worth living, and not only improves my karma, but also makes me feel good about myself. *smiles* Be well. Be thankful. Be happy you have each other. And just try to be happy? *two hearts*
Outer appearances can most definitely be deceiving. I see an easy intimacy, unpretentious and earnest relationship. May you be together for all eternity like Baucis and Philemon. Me agape, Aspasia
Mean is how you say things and not so much what you say. This is what my husband told me and I learned that there are loving ways to be impatient and irritable. Give your husband and son the benefit of the doubt.
Lol...I’m laughing so hard. Most couples have been there! I would have to say being irritable and impatient means getting a little mean. We all have our moments! She should apologize and then both agree that she is in charge of where the furniture goes...😂😂😂
