Thread: Where are your priorities???

Tweet

Over dinner I asked my husband if he could pick up a few things for me tomorrow. He replied "Sure, that do you need?"

I promptly gave him my list:
1 1-2/ in PVC pipe
2 wiper motors
2 sheets of blue board

Not too much I thought.

His response was "You know I need to get the oil changed in my truck and we need to send a check to......blah blah blah"

I didn't hear a word past that because all I could do was stare at thim and wonder where the H-E-double hockey sticks were his priorites??? Does he not realize that October is almost here?

What is wrong with that man? I'm telling you, the nerve of some people....You need to sit him down and have a little discussion with him and get him in line..

Hahaha, thats where I usually give my standard answer of .... "never mind I'll do it myself".

i hate to see a relationship fall apart like this....sad, really sad.

Halloween is almost here, he shold just know you are in the zone. I am divorced. If I merry again the second time around is gonna have to be a haunter cuz people who arn't don't get the zone of eat drink and sleep Halloween.

I am married again for the too manyth time. If our marriage doesn't last thought, (first I won't be getting married again that's for sure), but if I do date someone and have a steady relationship it will be with someone who loves holidays and decorating as much as I do, or there will be NO relationship. My current husband is just too lazy about doing anything holiday oriented. All he does is complain about decorating and forget about him wanting to make anything usually, but if I try to make something, heaven help me cause I'm a female. (Who obviously isn't capable of touching a piece of wood much less use our precious power tools). Deep breaths deep breaths. (OMG, I finally got to vent to people who understand.) He promised me earlier this year we'd make a coffin for halloween, and it's how close to halloween now, needless to say so far there is NO COFFIN at our house and no plans he's worked on so far for building one. If he hasn't by the first I will begin one myself.

That's a shame, it really is, that couples can't enjoy something like Halloween together. It's a terrific way to bond, create something together, to let loose together. And that works double for kids as well as spouses.

I'm not mechanically/electrically talented so hats off to all of you that are. I can't wait until my boyfriend, who sadly is 1500 miles away, can move out here and do those things for me. In that he excels and would help make some awesome moving props. You certainly need to have someone who understands your personal interests.

Being single I think I'd settle for a man who doesn't give me THE look like he wants to commit me to an asylum each time I mention a tombstone or pumpkins. Lol.

My Husband moans all the time about how much I spend on Halloween, You just learn to ignore them after a while. We've been together almost 19 years...I've learned it takes a few years, but eventually you break their spirit .. with some good training they can be taught to shop for you on command..just remember to give them rewards when they do as they're told.

Waits to be bombarded by the males of the forums comment ..lol
