If you own the house, build a shed and have it in there. Gotta think outside the rules.

Also a valid option. Not necessarily a good one. But it's there.

I know people who are paranoid about them catching fire, which is a genuine hazard if you fail to maintain it properly. Have you asked if there's a specific reason she's against it?

We had one up until a year ago. Then she called and had it taken out while I was at work. Were not allowed to have another.

Mines in the garage by the water heater and washing machine.

Also, I wouldnt sleep next to somebody that just makes things disappear without explanation. Woman like that is liable to cut off your dick in your sleep.

The fact that your wife unilaterally decided to remove a common shared household appliance behind your back and refuses to let you get another one--with no reason given--is kind of a giant red flag. Making big decisions that affect multiple people unilaterally is bad. What's worse still is not being able to discuss it like an adult. Like, if she has a phobia of dryers, you could discuss it like reasonable people.

You can approach this a variety of ways:
"The kids are really upset that we don't own a dryer, and to be honest, it bothers me too. Why don't you want a dryer?"

"Honey, I don't appreciate that you got rid of our last dryer without telling me first, and the kids and I think we need to get another one."

"I'm going to buy another dryer unless you can tell me why we shouldn't have one."

Or, failing all that, you can do your clothes at a laundromat. But really now, it's the dryer today, but what will it be tomorrow?

She can't unilaterally make decisions like that against the wishes of the rest of the family. Unless you allow it that is. Sounds like a toxic marriage tbh.

So tell her if she doesnt want a dryer then she can hang all the clothes herself. Otherwise you will be buying one for yourself and kids.

Is this a huge red flag to anyone else? God, seeing this kind of shit (assuming its real) just reaffirms my position that single life isnt bad at all. No way in hell would I be able to put up with that kind of shit.

Your wife sounds like a controlling maniac.

If a man removed the dryer while a woman was at work and then forbid her one at all we'd call it abuse.

Ive tried asking her about it, but she doesnt want to talk about it and says the discussion is closed. I dont really care since I dont do the laundry anyway. But I do have bad allergies and Im worried about pollen getting on my clothes. Its just that the kids are bugging me to death.

Then just make a unilateral decision in the other direction if that's how things work.

Sounds like you have bigger issues than the laundry.

Edit: On the other hand, it's kind of cool if she wants to rely less on modern shit, so I'm conflicted on this one.

Yeah, that's a massive red flag, to up and remove the dryer like she did and refuses to say why a year later.

Yep, toxic marriage. Or you just enable this behavior. You really need to have a talk with her.

That isn't how marriage works. Tell her you're either replacing the dryer or she can do all the laundry for the household.

She obviously has used the dryer for sexual pleasure and felt guilty so she got rid of it.

Yeah. My son doesnt hang any clothes. Hes just tried of having to go out there and get what hes looking for. A lot of the time theyre still damp. They also get more wrinkley and my wife doesnt iron. I guess thats why hes so vocal about this.
