Thread: Boyfriend is Clueless.

I just had to share this.........the day we are having our party, my boyfriend is having some friends come from out of town to attend (I am super happy about that)! But, the poor guy thinks that we are going to get together and go out to lunch with them before the party!! BEFORE THE PARTY....LOL. OMG, apparently he has no idea of what is going to be taking place that day, let alone the week before! We've been dating for 2 years and this is the first Halloween party that I am throwing since being with him. Has anyone else had this issue with their first party as a couple, with the other person not having a clue about the stress we go through with planning and setting up??
I'm not mad, I find if funny as hec!!

My husband can be rather duuuur too. I'll never forget this one time, it was our first year together and we were having a few friends over. Wasn't a Halloween party, but just a regular get together. Of course, I was busy cleaning, straightening up and making some appetizers. This was a last minute get together so I was running around rather frantically. He asked if he could do anything to help, so I told him to set up the cheese and cracker platter. I walked away to do something and came back in the kitchen to see he was slicing the cheese WAY too big. I was like "Babe, you gotta cut these smaller than that. People will be eating one chunk of cheese for 5 minutes". He tossed the knife in the sink and says "I can't even cut cheese the right way!" LOL After 5 years of being together, he knows now to just stay out of my way lol. I can be quite particular/anal with things. Rather than taking the time to explain how I want something done, I just assume do it myself. I stick to just asking him to take out the trash or getting something on a high shelf lol. One thing I can say about my husband though, he is SUPER awesome after a party/get together. He pretty much does all the cleaning up

Thanks girls, these stories made me LOL!

Luckily my husband and I "grew" into Halloween together. We are both just as much into it, the only problem that we really encounter is that I am rather OCD and stress about all of the preparations while he thinks we can wait until the last minute. Then I stress even more and stay up half the night, every night for like the whole week before the party making sure that things get done and then by the day of the party there is hardly anything left for him to do! LOL

Thank goodness my boyfriend is supportive about my favorite holiday, he even got a costume before me! But when he told me his plans for that day, I looked at him, busted out laughing, and left the room shaking my head. LOL.

This is exactly what i'm talking about! LOL Me and my bf have been together 4 yrs this october and He has come around to the whole party thing He actually took wed thur and fri off work . He is already asking w hen we need to start setting up for the party and so on so he is coming around lol Although I am very stressed as having a party and to open a studio to be a self employed stylist!!! So alot of time and money has gone into that which is a good thing but my halloween needs all my love and attention lol is that sad or what?! eh! So he is always saying don't stress ythis is the time you look f orward to all year but he just doesnt understand i get ulcers from this party planning but well worth it !

My husband is a huge Alabama College football fan. Our party always falls on a day that they are playing. I have tried to always plan around the game but they never post the time until the week before the game. Ugh.. After having Halloween parties for 7 years now I have resigned to the fact that I will not be getting any help from my husband on the day of the party. So the last few years he has taken the day before the party off to help me. It has worked out well because with his help I get so much done the day before. Good luck!

I've been with my husband for 21 years and he's still clueless. I heard him tell his grandmother's home health nurse today, "she's obsessed with Halloween" as if that's a bad thing.

This is beginning to sound like a Guy bashing party. Just to even thing out, let me tell you about my wife. I start working on my props in July. I work on them just about every weekend and spend hours trying to get them to look right. As Halloween gets closer I take a full day off of work just to set up. I risk body harm by climbing on the roof to set up my Gargoyle. Then on Halloween I set up spot lights and bring out music. I leave to take my daughter out TOT. When I come back the music is off and All of the outside lights are on. Completely ruining the effect. The reason she did it, was because it was too scary.

My aunt has a clueless bf. She can't set up until the day of Halloween. Can you imagine??? Two years ago, he refused to help her with anything, and she had these really big props that she had to carry outside and set up. He just sat back and laughed at her. She ended up breaking her toe trying to carry one of her heavier props down the steps. And she still made it through the whole night. Starting last year, I am going over there to help her for a few hours each Halloween before TOT with my kids.

No, OctoberDream, it's not a Guy bashing party...I think it's more like an Obliviousness-To-Halloween-Dedication bashing party. And yes, you fit right in
