"Don't get me started," Rarity muttered.

Cadence let out a sigh. "He just leaves stuff everywhere!" she said.

"Exactly!" Rarity said. "And he forgets his manners every other minute."

"Don't forget about how he snores like a monster," Cadence pointed out, with a small giggle.

Rarity wrinkled her nose. "Oh, how could I?" she grumbled. "Do you know how many times I had to send him to the couch because of it? I've lost count!"

Cadence laughed. "Let's not forget he can't cook to save his life," she teased.

"Actually," Rarity mused, as she took a sip of her wine. "That's me." She smiled bashfully. "It's a good thing that dragons have fireproof scales or he would have third-degree burns."

"Well, a toast to insufferable husbands?" Cadence smiled, levitating her glass up.

"To insufferable husbands," Rarity chuckled.

"Married life is nice, but--"

"--definitely not all it's cracked up to be."

The two mares laughed, and shared a grin...

...only before a loud crash was heard.

"Uh, honey? You didn't need that vanity for anything, did you?" Shining Armor called.

"I'm taking away your swords for a week!" Cadence yelled back. She playfully rolled her eyes, and released a sigh. "Men."

Rarity smirked. "Can't live with them, can't live without them," she said.
