<< if you were my wife, you would have both.
long time no talk shanni. i see you gotten over me already.
danny~! >>
I'm sorry, do I know you?:Q
<< Girlfriday was with us when we bought it, she put my hubby on such a bad guilt trip!!
He felt horrible all the way home! >>But we all know that GirlFriday is an old meanie.
<< Yes Shanni - you are cool, even if you are dragged down by that square prude of a cousin of yours.
(Yeeny is going to hurt me, isn't she?)
And BTW, Elita is very cool allowing me to go nuts with hockey gear, my home theater, toys, and video games.
>>Oh, you better be thankful you have that hockey gear, it may protect you from my wrath. :Q
And myputer, I thought your middle name was cheapneasy, was I mistaken? And yes, I did give him a guilt trip, just because its fun, and because every time I message her on AIM, and he is on the computer, all he does is say FU. He deserved the guilt trip!
Not saying this will happen, but.........I did something quite similar 2 X-Mas's ago with my wife! She gave in and let me get what I wanted because I made a huge deal over this antique pool table so, she gave up her new bedroom suite and we got the pool table...............thing is.......the pool table was nice........but I REALLY just knew she REALLY wanted the bedroom suite so I had to find something I wanted of equal or greater value..........then I had the bedroom suite delivered to our home two days after X-Mas! Needless to say......she loved it, and showed me how much she appreciated my "scheme" many times after that!
Hope this may be in store for you too!

>>That would be nice, but I would KILL HIM!!! The TV was almost 2K with tax and shipping, the couch is 2,500, that's just too much money to spend at one time!
<< Yep cool...If you get to control the remote, then you would be even >>
Silly man, the TV is his, but the remote is mine!

You're a pretty cool wife.
The hummer comment makes you a really cool wife, my gf would die before making a crack like that in public

good thread btw
Okay, my take.. (being a married guy, I feel I have valid points on the subject even though we don't know each other).
You are cool for what you did/sacrificed, no question. But I feel the need to add more
First, saying hummer is your middle name is quite cool. God bless you and all who are like you Especially if you enjoy your work and don't do it begrungingly (been there before, thankfully don't live in that "state" anymore, not ideal) heh
Also, not knowing anything aside from this incident about you, I feel the need to add more for you and any/all women.
Giving is good, sacrificing for someone else is good, thinking of others and having the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes is good.
BUT (and of course, this may have nothing to do with you, but feel it wise advice that can serve all woman-kind).
My opinion/take/advice is, giving is important, giving someone their way in a relationship is desireable, but should be done in moderation. Though on one level, we'll jokingly say that being 'served' is great, winning is great, and having someone willing to sacrifice their desires for ours is great. And to an extent, that's true. But there's more..
Ladies, make yourself a doormat for no man. Take as much as you give, speak your mind and let people know the "real" you, not just the part of you that wants them to be happy by giving in to his wants and desires.
Since you were comfortable enough to publicly talk about this, my guess is this doesn't apply directly to you - but triggered something in my mind, and it's definitely something that needs to be said, repeatedly.
I married into a family where virtually all the women have this illusion that by being 100% submissive, not speaking their minds, and constantly being the giver, they can get and keep a "good" man. In many cases (and their family history has proven it, and then some) all people can typically expect to attract in such a case is someone who is an "expert" in taking advantage of this type of person - and ultimately, you won't do yourself justice (or the relationship for that matter) by biting your tongue and giving in on every turn.
I could of course be totally ignorant and talking out of my butt, but, I'm of the opinion that life (and relationships) are about balance, give and give well, openly, honestly and without conditions - but also, don't be afraid to take, speak your mind and lookout for yourself at the same time. Just because guys can quickly and easily write our names in the snow, doesn't automatically put us in the drivers seat of life.
hehe.. and myputer, since I've taken so much space in your thread for my lil rant, here's something just for you:
Just make sure that by this time next year, you're sitting in your own home on that couch. K?

Damn, I voted cool, but then reread your post. For some reason after reading it once I thought you got both. I didn't realize you didn't get the couch until I reread it.
That's really nice of you, but it depends on how you feel inside. Are you happy about making your husband happy? Is the fact that he got what he wants truly pleasing to you? Are you pissed off for giving in? Or the worst option, do you try to convince yourself that you're happy about your husband getting his wishes, but deep down resentful toward him.
Happy is good. Mad is ok, at least you know where you stand and your hubby probably does too. But buried resentment will come around and bite you in the ass later. Your husband might think everything is peachy while you're fuming for days, weeks, or months.

I have to agree with a few of the others - that's cool and I'm glad your husband saved you from that couch!! hehehe
PS: Recliner-couch people drive me crazy. You know why? Because everyone with one of those drags you into their living room, makes you sit down on the couch, and then makes you recline in it. I mean, even if you're just sitting there enjoying yourself they're like "no! No! Make it recline! You have to recline in it!!"
Drives me nuts. But maybe that's just me. And, well, I think they're kind of hideous looking, personally.
As for the people saying she was wrong for giving in - christ - that's what a relationship is all about. It's worth a little personal sacrifice to make your significant other happy. I'm not talking sell the corvette to get a minivan, but there's a lot to be said for doing something impulsive like that. Totally cool.
