Words you never want to hear from your spouse: "Now don't be mad at me, but..."
-
Yesterday the hubby and I were shopping at Wally World and we split up. He found me in the middle of the store carrying a bag as he already bought something which I thought was incredibly odd. The first words out of his mouth are, "Now don't be mad at me, but..." He has never prefaced a sentence that way. The sentence ended with, "but I bought a Nintendo Wii." He just got a PS3 a couple months ago. Then he goes on to tell me how he can sell it for a profit. I put off getting a new dishwasher because first he got the PS3. Then I put it off again because he needed to get a new surround sound system. Now until he sells this dumb thing I have to wait some more. Has your spouse/sig other started a conversation like this? What did they do? Were you actually mad?

I've heard those words from my wife on three separate occassions. Oh did I mention that I have three daughters. :)

Yes, followed by, "...but I think I got most of your phone dry using my hair dryer."

No, I'm not that shallow. Life's too short to get mad over such (accidental) trivialities.

Considering he has no consideration for you, you should inform him, that until you get that new dishwasher, that you will just have to do with the old one, and he better wash the dishes damn good or he'll be playing with his Wii and only his Wii for quite some time.

The truth is we have enough money I could go and buy one. I just like to budget for larger items like that. But there are times I feel he doesn't consider my feelings.

The better question is: why would an adult NOT want a game machine?

Well, no I am not. I really can't comprehend the idea of an adult investing in a machine dedicated to playing games unless they have youngsters who need to be entertained.

After dinner one night, just look at him and say ... "Honey, now don't be mad at me ... but since we didn't replace the dish washer, and this one's not working so well, I just let the dog lick your plate 'clean' ... (if you don't have a dog, tell him that you let the neighbor's dog lick the plate clean) Then smile and say "WWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" and walk out of the room ... ;)

Bad Astronomy |VCF|wxWidgets|WTLWe don't eat together because of his work schedule. Plus he's on the Adkins diet (I know, I know...) and he basically eats nothing but steak and chicken. (I don't eat hardly any red meat.) When he finishes his steak he puts the plate on the floor so our cat Boomer can lick the steak juice. I'm gonna be laughing!!! (And I have to remember not to use that plate myself...)

You don't know my husband. He would live in filth if not for me. He'd run out of dishes and then buy paper plates rather than CLEAN. He has his own room and I finally made the rule that he couldn't have more empty 12 packs of beer bottles than there are days of the week. It's not gone over so well.

I had less of a problem with the PS3 since it has the Blue Ray player and we watch a lot of movies. I have a GameCube and I like to play the Spyro games occasionally. Life in South Dakota isn't too exciting so at least games give us an option of something else to do.

Possibly, well probably. It just strikes me as being low on the priority list, so low that I honestly cannot fathom spending the $300 or $400 required, unless I had a house full of kids that needed entertaining. I'm really serious.

I guess you have to also look at what people like to do. My husband is very visual; he could look at the TV section of Best Buy for hours. He likes video games. When a new Spyro game comes out I might play a lot over the weekends, but that's about it. I usually prefer to read myself. As mentioned in another post, the PS3 has the Blue Ray player which we will both use as we watch a lot of movies. The PS3 also can play regular DVDs (it actually upgrades the quality some), MP3s, and has internet access.

yes, but he grew up with lots of women in his life (mom, grandma and several aunts) and no strong male figure so he's usually the 'considerate' one. Like the first Valentine's Day after we married he bought me a nice Black Hills Gold necklace and earrings. I forgot it WAS Valentine's Day. I should change my post that when it comes to the house and cleanliness he is not very considerate of my feelings. Strange that he didn't get a cleaning bug with the women in his life growing up. Maybe it's a backlash.
