Just got done having a "best way to quit" talk with hubby!UGH!!!

As Roseanne Barr famously said about men who ask, "where's my ___?": "What, you think the uterus is a tracking device?"

God, I'm so glad I'm not married. Too much drama!

Drama? You have never lived with a house full of women then! Everyday is a soap opera with music and video! breakups, makeups and man stealing. That was just Jr. High..geeze High school was much worse
marriage is much nicer..they never 'Borrow" the only blue shoes that go with THE purse! They don't "borrow your good cologne and almost never use all the bubblebath! (to wash the dog!)

Well, you're right. I was raised by my father along with one older brother. Explains a lot, doesn't it?

 

[Crankyfuzz]

I was raised by a single dad...there are lots of things I do not have to call hubby to do because my dad made sure I knew how to do them. Not to mention fact that there are lots of 'man jobs' I can do better then hubby because he was raised by non handyman types.

 

[shivadance]

Me too. I was bored as heck helping my dad with painting, construction, working on cars, lawn work, tree care, etc as a kid. But wow, I'm now proud he took the time to teach me, reluctant as I was. Comes in handy now that I finally co-own a house.

Ugh. I don't even know what my dh thinks of vaping. He seems happy so far that it's helped me cut down on cigs, but he won't join the party so I feel a little silly vaping in front of him. I can totally relate to those of you who mention "condescending." Even when my dh doesn't mean to be condescending, it sounds that way to me. I can't take lessons on anything from him and I'm always analyzing his opinion and letting it influence me...I need to stop that, at least when the transition to vaping. Who cares if he thinks it's silly. I would feel better if I made the complete transition and if mama's happy, everyone's happy. Right?

 

[Mary Kay]

Coralie, You are right..we don't need to seek their appoval of every tiny thing! It's nice when freely given, but if we have to beg for it..forget that! At some point we must learn to say..like it or lump it! That's how it is!
Sometimes that works in our favor as men seem to like a woman who knows her own mind. Lord knows, they don't!

I agree,,, I suggest that any time he saids something that would knock you offl balance bring down your good vibe,, (stop) look at him and picture him in a bright pink string bikini with a thong and even add one of those fancy diamond stud belly rings... Evening gowns are fun too,,, with a rinestone terra and a poofy hairdo,, like Hepburn...

Good thoughts bring good things always finding ways to not let yourself get pulled down.. just say (stop) then find a way or thought to lift your spirits.. It may take some practice but soon your body/mind and spirit will just automatically do it...
