men can be such asses!

Hi, I am just looking around on all the forums tonight  I just came across your post.. Sorry to hear that things are not going well for you tonight. I wish you a better tomorrow.  SharonH

Right now I can completely agree!!  I just posted my introduction in the forum and went into a little more detail about my frustration with my boyfriend, but to be blunt he is being a total un-supportive jerk right now.  I get the whole men think differently than women thing but when I tell him I need something, I'm not telling him to fill airspace I'm telling him because I might actually need something.  So I sympathize with you, I am feeling the frustration with men

Ok, what did Allen do this time?

don't get mad, get even. It's way more fun. Have you read the post here about the big chicken???

Omgosh! enjoyful, I almost pee'd myself laughing at that story! Thanks so much for sharing it and starting my day off with a good laugh!!!

Melinda: Absolutely men are such asses sometimes! I am sure that is a topic no woman are ever divided on! lol. I hope that your day was a better one yesterday! Hugs. 

Malinda,  we used to live in Alaska and it's custom there to take your shoes off at the door. Well, my hubby got the idea that taking them off and leaving them piled at the door was a good idea. It wasn't, IMHO. We used to argue all the time about that and one day, he made the fatal error of saying to me 'well if you don't like them there, put them in the closet'. Which I did. But, I'd put one shoe in one closet and one in another and then, whenever he needed to find his shoes he had to hunt the entire house - see, his maid was VERY random on which closets she used and she just couldn't ever get them in the same one! Pretty soon, he started putting his own shoes away.

Hahahahahaha oh Melinda, you make me laugh! Mine hasn't been an ass, he just can't do anything on his own apparently!

We are getting our fence replaced. It is super expensive, and we have had a few different people come a give us quotes. I went out of town (of course this happens when I am gone!) and our neighbor called DH, says "good news! My son's contracting company was previously booked but now they are available and they can do the fence cheaper than what was quoted! I went ahead and put the quote in your mailbox - take a look and let me know." Well, rather than actually LOOK at it, he just says "Yea! Go ahead and schedule it for next week!" He hands me the quote - well it is like $400 more than our cheapest quote we had before. So - our neighbor is apparently smoking crack (and wants to give her son's company work) and my husband is dumb. Go figure though - it was a decision that to him didn't require reading. Anything that gives him less work!! So I told him he had to call our neighbor and tell her we were uncomfortable with the price and tell her that he never read the quote when he told her "ok." He then freaks out because he is "so sick of dealing with this fence crap" - well if you'd learn to read maybe you wouldn't have to make this call you dummy!!

Fast foward to today - we are getting the fence done today (were able to get the price down - yay!) and the dude from utilities shows up to do a locate so they can dig in the ground (they locate cable, electrical, and water that is under ground so no one dies!). He had just done my neighbors yard, shows up to my house and says "I see you need a locate done on your front yard" I am like "uh, no we need it for the back yard, you know like you JUST DID on my neighbors house." He is like "well the ticket says front so I can't go to your back yard, it has to match the ticket for legal reasons" Friggin really dude??? Turns out my husband just couldn't understand the guy on the phone that he talked to and rather than ask for clarification or for the guy to repeat himself my husband just said "yea" to every question the guy asked him. So, I had to call. And do it for him. Like always.

Sometimes I think he subconsciously screws this stuff up on purpose so I will never ask him to do it again. (this was a long rant! Sorry ladies!)

Men.

My hubby appeared to be mad at me for being sick! Nothing to do with bc. This was sinus infection/massive cold type of thing. I slept from 8 Thursday night until sometime Saturday morning. When I'm up--he has attitude. To be honest--I really didn't care too much. I needed to worry about me and work on me getting better. I have been sick most of this month-so if it inconvenienced him--too f'ing bad. Not like I wanted to be sick. 

y- my mom just asked me if dh was actually jealous that I was gong on a breast cnacer conference?! I swear he has had an attitude all week just because God forbid - I am getting out of the house for a weekend to hang with some wonderful girls. No skin off him, my parents are keeping both kids and taking them to all their sports, etc.   

My DH is "beyond overwhelmed" bc he is taking care of the kids, house, etc while I recuperate from a double mastectomy. He is doing what I do every day except running my business, which fortunately is quiet at the moment. And then tells me that I am really ungrateful for all he has done for me. Today he is wearing a t-shirt from the New Orleans fire dept that says "off duty - save yourself.". And tells me that is appropriate bc I am so ungrateful. And what started all this ugliness? That I told him that I hoped he would exercise bc his health is important for our family (he is way overweight, has big fam hx of heart disease). Arrgh!!! He is very good human being most of the time which makes it even harder to see this awful babyish behavior.



Thanks for the vent!!!

Kymm:  That is so sad...what a sorry jerk!  The way I see it, you are better off without him.  When one door closes, another opens, and it's always better on the other side!  Please don't waste energy being upset over this.  The best revenge is living well!  All the best to you.

I came across this thread last night. This is my new fav!!! Loved the big metal chicken story and so many of you have had the same arguments that my husband and I have had. Thank you, I needed a laugh!!!
