Jeff is such a pussy when dealing with Susie


Susie won't pay wandering bear the extra $200 for yard work and Jeff does nothing about it.

I think he's more lazy.

I've always thought of it as he's just too lazy/tired to deal with her. He figures he likes her enough to stay married, they have a kid together, but because he cheats he doesn't always need to make her happy because he gets his elsewhere.

reply

I think he would have paid Wandering Bear privately. Jeff surely knew how to pick his battles.

If you seen the episode "Thor" from Season 2 he pretty much explains why he's always afraid of her. She knows too many of his dirty secrets and he doesn't want to do anything to cause a divorce because she would ruin him with all the dirt she's got on him.









I bet you wish your nose was a dick so you could *beep* butts.

You must be young or something, lol!!! I don't mean that as an insult tho...it's just that I know a lot of guys who are *happily* married with wives like Susie! I don't understand it myself but for whatever reason lots of guys (and girls) live just like Jeff & Susie and seem very happy.

I'm 55. Married since 1985. If I had a wife like Susie I'd punch her in the face and divorce her.

lol

You come across like your a fifteen year old douchebag. =(

Also, you don't sound like you're a walk in the park either.

He probably has no wife, or girlfriend or any other friends.

Then you'd spend the rest of your years in jail, and be 'married' in a different way.

I mean, when you compare to those two 'marriages', most men would still choose the Susan, as hellish as she is.

I think Jeff exemplifies many typical marriages, where the relationship can only continue because the man is 100% whipped. He only curses his misery and marriage, the demonic nag-hag under his breath, never directly at her face.

I never understood how seemingly powerful, confident, successful men end up like Jeff. How do they get married and end up being wussy pussies that never dare confront their wife with anything stronger than 'yes, dear'.

I can't understand it, I would just leave, I wouldn't stay in a relationship like that for one hour, let alone years. I would give her a chance for redemption, but this is measured in hours, maybe days. I could give someone a week, and if she never improves, it's over instantly.

Then again, I never understood why men marry, I don't see any actual reason for it. What can you do in wedlock that you can't do in freedom? From cohabitation to reproduction, to copulation to intimacy, eating together, whatever. I can't see any one thing you can't do outside wedlock but can do inside of it.

I guess I don't like to be locked, wed or otherwise.

Didn't Jeff ever realize what Susan is like before they got married, or did Susan play some kind of role? I don't understand what's going on in the world, but Jeff is a perfect example of many men's misery.

Men are not confrontational when it comes to women, so women take over. It's like dog psychology, most people let animals (and kids) walk all over them, so the animals take over. People take their animals for a walk, but they let the animal do whatever it wants, so it becomes the pack leader.

Men are not lazy per se, but they don't see the things women obsess about worth fighting over, because they genuinely do not care. What kind of curtains do you want? Whatever you like, honey.

Susie seems reasonable to me.

They both have their lives and Suzie stands for no BS.
She is funny about it.
What they should have done to make the show funnier is to show
the other side of Suzie, and explain why she reacts so quickly to
Larry or Jeff when he is around Suzie.

Like the whole insulting the handicapped lady secretary just got
old. It was just mean and not funny. That's why I say Curb is
for Trump supporters.

I wonder how many times Larry David has gotten smashed in the face
like that ... except that before he is a tall guy ... now he looks like he
is about to have a heart attack and feel over dead. Ugh ... maybe this
show should not have been revived.
