Scooby Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 My hubby goes where he wants to, when he wants to, while I'm stuck at home with the kids...golf, bars, poker, you name it. It's pulling teeth if I want to go to Target by myself on the weekend. Woe is me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pulling teeth if I want to go to Target by myself on the weekend. Woe is me Awwwwwww! Not fair. Me thinks you guys need to talk. Communication is paramount. No hints or suggs, but when we were there I think I gave my wife time for herself. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 My wife is always out doing stuff on her own. She's probably out of the house more than I am. You need to have a talk with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Or you could have him try to explain to us Huddler's why he's not giving you time for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta Cracker Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Simply tell your husband that you are occupying your time while he's out by posting on a football message board where lots of guys give you advice on how to deal with the situation. If that doesn't wake him up I'm not sure anything will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 ok, ok, please move to the welding post, damn, I'm going nuts here, thanks BJ I think what you are doing is subliminally saying to your husband: "I'm gonna weld your nuts to my dads cattle prod when you get home."

Jimmy Neutron Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Seriously, Scooby - you need to set things straight with your hubby. It sounds like he takes your for granted and that is never a good thing. You may feel venting to folks here on the board, but you likely harbor some resentment regarding his behavior and that's just going to build over time. You can be a damned-good wife and demand some respect and equity all at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
