Cancer Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I think I'll have to do my purchases tomorrow. About to go home for the day; gaming (with her!) both tonight & tomorrow night, and then the plan is to go up to one of her folks' places Sunday and stay the night there, back on Monday.

lemming Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Apparently my wife annoyed a couple of her coworkers by getting what she wanted. Their husbands hadn't gotten what they wanted for Valentine's. She asked them if they had told their husbands what they wanted. "They should of known."

Cancer Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Thankfully, my wife doesn't do that. If she really wants something, she hits me over the head with the two-by-four to get my attention, makes a direct statement, and then leaves me to take care of it. Only if I drop the ball at that point does she get to pout. We developed this protocol early in our relationship, and it always works.

I'm confused by those that think guessing is the way to go. Though to be fair to the women, there are men that go "off list" as well. Which hardly ever works either.

Cancer Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Of course, when you hit on the head at a jeweler's, and she shows you an engagement solitaire while saying, "Nice ring," you know what is expected of you. A few weeks later (on Feb 29) she proposed to me, but I already had the ring bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
