OOo - now there's food for thought, Bryan. I'll have to make sure we're on the same page on that one. PS he's getting the wet paper on the nose treatment as we speak, but that's a subject for another day. Nothing to do with the fireplace.

That is a good tease Goddess. Why put off to another day what can be done today? Surely it would be good to go ahead and talk about it.

Your fan club awaits.

So, we have the big talk over the weekend about not seeing other people and moving into sort of a pre-engagement situation. It was a big deal and very sweet. I've been extremely hard for him to pin down, and he was very pleased that I was willing to make some kind of commitment, any kind, to him.

So we made plans to meet right after work this evening, exchange our personal gifts to each other and get all the other family gifts wrapped. First email I get from him this morning is a request to come home a day early from our trip to my family's house so he can do some work. Understand, he's the boss. This is his doing. I refused - my brother's leaving for war in a week. I'm staying as long as we planned. Second email - the grand poobah of MM's lodge invited him to a Pacer game this evening, and he just has to go because it's the grand poobah. He'll see me afterward. OH, HELL NO!!! MM just got the email cornholing of the century. Sable coat my *ss, shove that. Oh, you can go, don't get me wrong - just don't expect to see me waiting when you get home. End of discussion.

I shall expect to receive a hair-singing response fairly shortly. We're not moving into this "take it for granted" stage - now or ever.

End of rant. Thank you for listening.

oh gal. but its a sable coat. and the pacers. and i would stay the whole time planned at your family's. ah well, screw him. but maybe he will get you a matching hat now?

Truthfully, I'm so irritated right now if he showed up with the matching hat, I'd shove it so far up his wazoo he'd be tasting mink oil for a week. (And MM has season tickets to the Pacers - it's not like he's missing out on a grand opportunity).

A wet newspaper on the nose was nothing compared to those testicle squeezing pliers you have in your hand.

I can see why this guy is not married. You do have a lot of training ahead of you with this guy. Well, that is if he gets over the anal discomfort.

Thanks for sharing.

GAL--

Perhaps I am just a bit cranky this A.M. but seems to me MM is expected to run through hoops in order to win your affection. A relationship is give and take, events come up and plans change..compromise is important to every successful relationship.

stating "A real man knows how to build fires" is absolutely sexist..(and wasn't last week you were speaking in another thread about an engagement in which you attended where sexists remarks were made towards you?) can't have it both ways..you're very fortunate that a gentleman is willing to build you a fire..whether or not he knows how to build one..

again..I might just be a bit cranky this morning..and may read your post later and laugh my butt off..:)

MM sounds like a prince..he's been there for you through a lot ..and sounds like he'd do anything in the world for you..don't take advantage..he may get fed up and not stick around..

Don't worry, Z - I"ll be running off before he does. As far as jumping through hoops - he forced the issue of me taking him home. I didn't want to for a number of reasons, largely having to do with needing time with my brother who is going off to war. I consider it completely insensitive to try to shorten that time because MM would like to - not HAVE to - work. Secondly, if you make a date with me, don't email to tell me you're breaking the date because you got a better offer. I don't consider this a hoop either - I consider it common courtesy. Finally, this is intended to be a sexist thread - so I make sexist jokes (which are just that - jokes). I'll check back in later to see if this makes any sense at all. I'm still pretty honked off over the situation, nothing to do with you, Zmom. I understand what you're saying - I just don't agree with it in the context of this particular set of issues.

<First email I get from him this morning is a request to come home a day early from our trip to my family's house so he can do some work.>

Possible solution: couldn't he just go back a day early without you?

Goddessatlaw

Only if we took separate cars, which we can't for a couple of reasons. I may suggest he just go back alone and roundtrip me a few days later if the work he has is so pressing (which it isn't, he already admitted)

if you're driving, then let him find his way back the best way he can.

GAL--

First off I want to apologize..I have no right to make comments about your relationship between you and MM..I was totally out of line.

If MM wants to cut his vacation short with your family..then he can find a way to return.

As for breaking tonights date..if it's something he does infrequently then perhaps let it slide..Maybe it's something he really want to do tonight <shrug> I don't ever get upset when a man breaks a date with me..life happens and things come up (yeah..things more interesting than "ME" :)) and as long as it's not constant and the norm I really don't get upset..

Then again..I am single so what do I know..lol.. as I said..it's out of line for me to say anything..I don't know you nor do I know MM..

No need to apologize, Z-mom - I think we're both having the same kind of day. This is why I hate the holidays - so much more stress than merriment. Makes it tough on relationships. Bob - good call. Real men know to get out of the way when the wimminfolk are hashing it out (especially when they're in the Guy Thread).

I gotta kiss from Weiner!! I got a kiss from Weiner!! (Is there some logical means by which to explain this to my father without causing him to pick up a 2 by 4?)

Hi Bob, giving you a BIG SQUEEZE!

Gal, if it's any consolation, we all get upset once in a while with our MM's at home. They aren't perfect. Just remember that.a good relationship can handle it on both sides.

On the other hand, by standing your ground he sees that you have priorities. He needs to respect them.

Goddess you obviously have the situation well under control but here's something that may come in handy at a future date.
