Hey reddit...I (m 29) have been living with my fiance (f 31) for about a year now. Things are going well at the moment, but we did have a rough start to the year. I was not the best at doing my chores and this lead to some arguments. She was working on her PhD dissertation and still had to pick up my slack.

Now, I have improved a lot...and to make some of this fun we had some friendly wagers to help make sure I stay on track with my chore schedule.

One of those chores was taking out the trash on time. She said if I missed going it 7 times this year then il have a forfeit. I was at 6 and really keeping my end of the bargain, but I did forget this past weekend right before the end of the year. I was so close!

Now, the forfeit is that for my boys night out where I go watch football with the guys, she gets to do my nails. Now I was trying to make the case that I came so close I should not have to do this, but she disagrees. What do you guys think? Im hoping for some of the guys here to support me on this so I can make my case

She also wanted ideas for colors/styles and said the most upvoted 3 will be considered. She also wanted ideas for a photo as proof of me going out with the nails done

Edit: Forgot to mention the terms. I have to keep the post up until 3pm 1/1/26. If the post has 10 upvotes or more i have to show proof here.

Edit 2: since people are asking, I am a Washington Commanders fan

Edit 3: she wanted me to highlight that reddit can suggest any stipulations or details to consider/ include, how long i have to have them etc

TL;DR- made a wager with my fiance regarding chores and now I might have to go to a guys night out with my nails done
