50/50 my ass - women have different rules

[zeronalo]

My anniversary is this Friday (17th anniversary) so I figured I'd take the wife out for a nice dinner and some wine maybe go see some live music as she's been into going with me to watch a good live show lately.

She sends me a text today telling me she has yoga tomorrow after work and a dinner for some club she belongs to on Friday. I reminded her it was our anniversary on Friday. She said we could do something on Saturday.

Now its been 17 years so its not like we haven't done this before but I know how much hell I would catch if I told her I was going out with the boys to have a beer on our anniversary. Men and women just don't have the same set of rules.

I usually disagree with you completely re:women, but in this case I'm with you. For my 4-year anniversary (we didn't make it to 7), I realized WEEKS in advance that it was going to fall on a Wednesday that I'd have to travel for work. So I talked to my wife, planned something big and awesome for that Friday--we're both adults, and the exact day that the anniversary falls on doesn't matter that much, right? It's not like it was one of the big ones.

Anyway I do all this stuff, HUGE preparations involving various parties (my company, Dept. of Defense, etc), make flight test plans (I was working in aerospace), get them approved, schedule the test flights, get equipment together, all that crap. Then THE DAY comes.

Oh my God I was in so much trouble. Apparently, while I had rescheduled our anniversary celebration, I hadn't explicitly stated that I'd be out of town on the night of our anniversary (I'd traveled for flight testing dozens of times before, and I DID tell her I'd be traveling that Wednesday, she just didn't realize that it happened to be our anniversary). Oh hell those couple of days SUCKED.

Though on the day of the anniversary, she made the 3-hour drive to the middle of nowhere and we got dinner at the Applebee's near my hotel. There was a nice moon that night, so it wasn't all bad.

Live and learn, I'll never make that mistake again, holy shit. And looking back, it was a mistake--at least, not explicitly pointing out when I rescheduled our celebration that I'd actually be gone the night of our anniversary was.

Play the B*tch card.

Be all pouty and hard to be around and when she asks you what's wrong say, "nothing."

Then sigh heavy and walk out of the room.




Two can play this game.

Yeah, try to cash in that card and see how fast it is DENIED.

Women folks be just a little bit different. Logic does not equal a woman. I hope no woman gonna read this. Funny creatures those females.

A friend of mine passed away recently. My wife didn't particularly like him. There was a celebration/memorial for his' time on Earth. My wife wanted to go with me. I knew that this was going to a short evening because she really doesn't like live music.,many musicians showed, open mic 'cause my friend was a musician. This party was going to last all night, lots of blues. The wife was bored so we went home. This happens every time she comes along with me. i told her that she would want to leave early, no matter. Can be frustrating. I have a hard time getting a hall pass to hear live music.

It's part of the trap...a test to see how much YOU care about your anniversary....and you lost.

You're in for it now, buddy.

 

[kevinpaul]

That is not right she should dump the stupid class. To late now but if this happens again keep your plans. I am never that busy, I free things up and go with you.

Hers seems EXACTLY like a typical male reply.
Methinks you have just proved the other sides point.

We are all female in the womb before we turn male.
You are new to biology?
