My girlfriend buys a new bed.
She's really excited about it, bought a nice conforter and sheets, and moved furniture in her room. She goes into elaborate descriptions of daydreams of us jumping on it and sleeping and all the room and no cats sleeping on your head, etc, etc... I play along, nice new matress might be nice, right?
Her: "So do you think it was a good idea to buy it?"
(note: she just put in her 2 weeks notice at her job(long story) and is going to take money out of some stocks or savings or something to pay off credit cards as well as this bed)
Me: "Well I think so, how much did you pay for it?"
Her: "400"
Me: "Woa. That seems like alot. How much for the matress?"
Her: "600"
Me: "So you spent a grand on a new bed two days after telling your boss you're quiting your job? Your car leaks coolant, and Christmas is comming up too. Are you going to be able to afford all this?"
Her: (que 2 hour long debate on the value of money, how I always make her feel stupid, how I'm going to be sleeping on the old bed in the basement, how she hates her boss, how nothing ever goes right for her, how she's not going to move back in with her mother, how she's loosing money in her stocks because of the economy- why not spend it anyway, how it was the cheepest bed there and still felt nice to lay on, how it was on sale, how I always make her feel stupid, etc.)
Moral of the story/Cliffs notes:
Whenever a girlfriend asks you a question, there's two answers:
1)the one you think you should say, and
2)the one she wants to hear.
1 and 2 will never be the same.
Or simply put, always agree with her. It's just not worth it.
Edit: Addendum to Cliff's Notes: The OP didn't get any this weekend. 😛 🙂
