Spouse Stories

[David]

I was going to place this entry into the stupid news post that I had, but it was not really news just stupid.

OK. First let me set the background for this story so you know where I am coming from. I am a father of 2 beautiful girls and married to a wonderful woman. I am the only income that my family has. We have decent things in our lives to make life somewhat more enjoyable. I own (mortgage payments) my home, and our two cars are paid off.

The economy is not good, the job I have is normally a very stable job but lately it has become unstable and the possibilities of lay offs might take place down the road and in my line of work, most of the state of Arizona is not hiring in my field. I am about 8 years away from being eligible to retire, due to years of service and not of age. The administration of my job is ........ lets say non-supportive, deceitful, and....anyway, I am sure you get the picture. I tried to file my taxes so I can get a refund faster so I can pay off the credit card, but the IRS is not accepting the returns yet, I will need to wait until mid February. Background is drawn for you.

The Story: I was working when my wife called me on my cell phone as she was driving to the store. She is somewhat depressed and called me about her going food shopping, but then she complains about the taxes, the rising costs of food, just all around depressed due to money concerns. She was not making feel any better and I did not need to feel lower than I did already so I told her that I will let her go. Her response to me was “Why? Because you do not want me to get into an accident?” (you know, driving and talking on the cell phone issue and then the concern for her safety) and I said “No. I just can’t afford any new bills to make payments for.” My wife then hung up the phone……


So take this post, and post funny or stupid things that you or your spouse said to you.

Well, this morning my wife was getting ready for work and we were in the kitchen. She looked at me and told me that she did not leave the dishes for me to do, but she was busy last night..................

So is this a clue for me to do the dishes
Or is she telling me that she does not like the way I do the dishes

We have a dishwasher. The dishwasher was designed to wash dishes... right So, when I do dishes, I place them in the dishwasher and let the dishwasher wash them. I will then wash the remaining dishes that would not fit in the dishwasher. This worked for me when I was single.

Now my wife..... she washes the dishes (really scrapes and rinses the dishes) and then place them in the dishwasher... That is washing the dishes twice...

I still do not know what to do. My wife recently started a job after 7-8 years of being a stay home mom, and I was trying to help by doing the dishes. Now I am perplexed hahahaha

[Hermskii]

I am like her. My dishes are so clean before they even make it into the dishwasher my wife is often confused when it seems full as to whether or not they were cleaned already. I tell her the answer is this: If the door to the dishwasher is locked closed then they have been cleaned. If the door is unlocked then you can still put dishes in it. Mt wife still can't hang pictures on the walls in the rooms in our new house because I have not painted the trim in those rooms yet though the walls have been painted about a year now. WIVES??? LOL!

I was talking with another guy yesterday at church, lets call him Mr H. His wife and my wife are friends and he is not a bad guy, I just don't have a lot in common with him. But he is a good guy.

Anyway, we were talking about our wives. He and I both shared something in common. We introduced our wives to music or movies that they in turn really enjoy, but we do not enjoy the movies/music that the wives originally liked.

Anyways, back to main story. I like Underworld (the movies). I think Kate Beckinsale is attractive (HOT). Anyway......in years past I shared the Underworld movies with my loving wife. She likes them and now wants to get DVDs of them.

I told Mr H that my wife wants to get the DVDs of Underworld. I am hesitant.........As I told Mr H, it is like inviting your girlfriend over to have dinner with you and your wife

Mr H got a laugh out of it to. I later told my wife...she did not. hahahaha.

The question I say to myself is why not get the Blu-rays of the movies?

And yes, I saw the preview/trailer for the new one.

She is say Where is Micheal? Or Where is her Daughter?

[Hermskii]

Alright! They are making another one! I love this series myself. the last one was not so great but the 1st two were top notch I thought. She is smoking hot I must agree. I did not watch the trailer you mentioned but is she in this next movie?

Wives are funny. And everything else for that matter. My wife watches stupid TV as I call it. Stuff like MTV Real World and New York rich wife's club or something like that. I sit around and watch news on all of the channels.

She is say Where is Micheal? Or Where is her Daughter?

It sounded like Micheal to me.

So let me get this straight, the heroine of these movies is a Vampire?

[Hermskii]

Dang! I just watched it but I'm at a lab and there is no sound here. She is saying Michael. That is her lover. He shows up in part 2 if I recall properly. He is a hybrid monster of some sort that is like a super vampire/werewolf mix.

If you haven't watched these I say to do it. Very well done I thought. I'm glad to see it is her in this one too!

I agree!

Here is better trailer http://blastr.com/2011/11/1st-full-length-underworl.php

That one was nice! I'm betting the little girl is her daughter...

For the husbands...Don't you laugh when your wife does not think that you know how to do something simple as mopping so she has to give you guidance....

I was planning on cleaning a storage area that has a tons of boxes. After I break down the boxes, I was going to sweep and then mop the area (it is a tile floor). My wife then told me that I need to use the wet mop instead of the dust mop. I told her that I knew this and that I had my own place before I married her. (I was age 25 and on my own when I married her who was 20 who just been on her own about 1 year). She then stated that she did not know since she did not think I dusted when I was single...

I just laugh at the fact that women think men can not do things on their own, if it is housework related.

Just the other day, my wife was not in the best of moods, when she ended up telling the kids to get out of the kitchen. So the kids did leave the kitchen (smart move), but then the kids asked if they could have a snack. She then quickly responded that they needed to eat lunch...... I then reminded her that she just kicked the kids out of the kitchen so how can they have lunch if they can not come into the kitchen She left the kitchen.
