I need to know I’m not the only one……….

[Ryaine]

That feels the SO needs a universal translator.

I adore my SO, but there are times there are things said that just make me go “What the fuck”

Example: I chose to stay home with my daughter after I was laid off.

Yesterday after doing all the Haus Frau bit I hear this statement “it’s so nice having a slave … err you at home”

My SO thought this was a great joke.

Please share so I don’t feel all alone on this one.

I woulda smacked him! oh and don't feel alone....I think that allllllllllll the time!!!


Keep in mind...he's only a guy....and they only have one brain...and unfortunately it's located below the belt. You can't expect much!

I'd share, but I'd get on a tear, and never stop.

You'd think after working in the world in a challenging and rewarding field where you work your ass off to get recognized, published, and respected, that your SO could remember that you once were responsible for more than cleaning the goddamn bathroom.

See...I caught myself...

 

[cowgirl heaven]

I hear ya!!! Try staying at home for the kids and then add working at home LOL

I'm an idiot, what was I thinking??

Speaking as a male that WISHES he had good communication skills, I can say at times our best intentions are clouded by oour poor choice of words or ill-timed well meaning comments. Lord knows I have mis-communicated with my SO many times. And that is while I am trying to understand and make myself clear.

Unthoughtful response to your situation, kind of a "Yuck, yuck, out with the guys," type of thing. You shoulda kicked him!

I woulda smacked him!

I really wanted to, but didn’t think it would help.

Cleo – you have better control than me.

CH – it’s kind of like wanting the kids in the first place ….. it sounded like a good idea at the time. Besides think of the alternatives …. Pretty boring right?

Bluesboy2 – your forgiven in advance ……. Just in case you ever get tongue tied

Plasticman33 – I really like your idea … and he does have a bum foot on cold days… Hmmm

Thank you. I can be quite the idiot at times.

a wise woman once told me that when a man says

'Your face could stop a clock'

what he really means is

'your beauty makes time stand still'

I wish I could. I gave up listening to my mine several years ago. In fact, I've stopped listening to all guys. They are just stupid, thats all there is to it. Well, expect for that cute guy at work...I might listen to him.

My ex and I were at a dinner party a few years back, the discussion turned to dishwashers. He oh so cleverly said, "Yep I have a dishwasher", as he laid his paw on my shoulder.

Oddly enough he was the only one who laughed at his witty remark.

Things you don't say to your SO:

"Of course you don't look fat in that dress."

"I had a dream about your best friend."

"Do you want a boob job?"

"Hey sweet tits, let's fuck tonight."

Things you don't say to your SO:

Not this cowgirl..........I'd say bring it on babe


Wouldn't even consider the alternatives of not being here everday with my kids.

Ok, I guess I won't say anything to you anymore. I tried to be good, I really did...

My SO thought this was a great joke.

That sounds like exactly the kind of joke I"d make, too.

Of course, timing of the joke is everything, too. If it's said at a bad time, it just ain't funny. But at the right time, it's a good-natured jibe at someone you appreciate and love more than anything in the world.

Every time we disagree on anything, s/O walks out instead of talking it out. Sometimes he comes back a few minutes later, sometimes he's gone for DAYS! He's used to talking out his feelings in his head, however l;ong that takes, wish he'd share his thoughts with me first! He does tell me what he's been thinking/feeling when he does come back, and the fights aren't that frequent and the make-up sex is ALWAYS spectacular I (which is a BIG part of why I stay--that, and he doesn't seem to mind my stripping and my bisexuality). He does seem to love me and my daughter, but neither of us is really ready to commit. But I sometimes wish he'd think and talk to me before leaving like that.

I just don't GET that behavior at ALL! So immature!

Aloha from Patty

My sweetie and I haven't been through this, yet, but I know that we will sometime.

I think it's hilarious in a way, especially since he was probably trying to be funny. With two people who hail from differing backgrounds, I assume, it sometimes takes a bit more humour than normal to see what the other is saying or doing.

Now that I have made no sense, I will be going.
