Relationships=love, confusion, and funny stories.

I know my boyfriend loves me when I drag him to the mall and make him help me find jeans that I like and then shoes and of course that involves trying stuff on and not just holding it up and saying yup thatll fit. Granted Im a speed shopper but still he tolerates that without a grumble. He hasnt even said a word that while Im browsing TCS Ive eating about 4 of those dippy stick cheese thingers in a row. Or that I like to mix cranberry juice and orange juice together...Yupp he loves me...

Yeah the hubby to be is pretty tolerant of my weirdness too. And i ALSO mix cranberry juice and Orange juice together. It is pure awesomeness. But he does have to deal with my moments of non stop rambling, my random excitment over tiny little things, my debates with myself over whether or not i should eat something, And of course my constantly changing moods

He is a good guy. lol

In a long ago relationship, I was living with a previous boyfriend and had to go out of town for a business trip. When I came home, the bathtub was in the front yard. It turns out that he had swapped out the bathtub for a shower. It was a shock seeing the tub out in the yard.

About two months ago I was out of town for the weekend visiting my parents. I come home and walk in...to a new couch. Well, not new, but new to me. But, it's just sitting in the middle of our living room with our old couch pushed against the wall. I call for Josh in a very skeptical tone and he comes out of the bedroom beaming.

"Look! It was just on the side of the road...abandoned!" He said, like I came home to a new cat, .

It's a very cute retro couch that is covered in this pretty green but INSANELY itchey tweed like fabric. He swore he would get it reupholstered by the end of the week and would take our old couch to store somewhere. *looks in living room* Yeah, still have two couches.

It's a good thing I love him........

That sounds exactly like something my husband would do. I just read what you wrote to him and he laughed because he knows it sounds like something he would do.

I have said for years that if a number of clothes stores would go together and put their fitting rooms in one area, where the women could try on their new clothes, with a bar for the men to sit and wait for them, and the women could just step in there and show them how the fit is, those stores would clean up in a hurry, because the guys would WANT to take their girls shopping!

Love is: a husband who has no interest in reptiles, does not like them nor does he hate them.... he tolerates them.... Love is: that husband feeding, and cleaning 60 snakes when my hands are too bad to do them. That is love.

Good thread!

The other day my hubby comes home from a walk and says "there is a microwave on the side of the road, it has a sign that says "I work!""

Now for me, I would never think of collecting garbage from the street..but hubby insists "it's stainless steel and it's clean inside!"

So he convinces me to walk down the street and pick up this microwave with him.

I love it! It is way cleaner than our old one, and a total upgrade...so there you have it. Hubbies are silly, but they are very helpful!

Oh, and of course his need to protect and serve us: He always says of anyone's profession: "I can do that, they are just a human like I am, I can do anything anyone else can do"..

and it's for that reason that we can never hire a pro to come and do stuff for us...hubby insists on learning how to do anything and refuses to pay anyone to do it (I won't lie, this annoys me alot..I want the work done well! ) He literally said one time "I don't want some doctor delivering your baby when you are pregnant, I will learn how to do it" Of course, in this case he was kidding....or was he?

Trout, your guy has probably learned the old adage, "No job is too small to justify buying a new tool and learn how to use it."

I know how you feel the only thing I know BF cant or wont fix is the cats or the dog anything else either he can fix it or he can call his dad or brother for help. Its like having the all around bob the builder lol!!! Thank heavens I dont plan on having kids or he would probably tell me I dont need a doctor I have him he can take care of it!

I've always said that its true that men are from Mars and women from Venus, at least in the way they think/react. We think so differently. A great deal of the time, when the lady is mad at him, trust me, he has absolutely no clue as to why. For example, a good (male) friend of mine told me once, "You look at a sink full of dirty dishes and see dirty dishes that need washing and put away, I see one small little cranny where I can add one more piece".

I've always loved this and think its so true

9 WORDS WOMEN USE AND THEIR MEANING

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm.This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually not a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

There's a road my DH and I travel over almost every day that was built through a celery bog. The road was constructed by a company that said it was "sink proof." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, right.

Anyway, this road is getting worse each month, and at one part you'll discover if your shocks are good. Every time we hit this patch of road, I say, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" just to hear my voice go, "AhhhAHHHahahhAHHHHahhhhAHHH" with the bumps on the road.

DH smiles at me every time. He thinks it's cute, lol.

I love this one!

Love is:

me abandoning my husband and kids, with their ok, but....... love is: Mark is feeding my snakes and my cats.... BOTH of which he doesn't "like".

He tolerates them...... he's not an animal person. When I left on Sat. I had rodents out to feed, and was concerned about leaving, so he feed them

that is true love.

Funny and CUTE stories! My hubby to be is a certified paramedic though he doesnt do that for a living any more (he hated it it turns out) but because of this, he has said the he could deliver our baby...no, this is NOT happening unless there is NO other option LMAO.

It is just such an amazing thing to me becuase before him i didnt get it. Not really. Id had relationships (one of which was quite volitile) But never have i been with some one who could both exasperate me, and make me fall more deeply in love with them at the same time! Men are not all the same, but just like women, there are certain things that seem almost universal in their gene pool (much like women and hillbillywomans post). I swear it has to be these differances that make men and women look at eachother and say "dear god why" that make life so much worth living. After all, what fun is a movie when there is no misunderstanding that needs a hilarious solution?

Hillbillywoman: the hubbs know exactly what the phrase "Fine" means...so much so that now, when i said something is fine, or that i am fine AND REALLY AM he doesnt believe me and thinks i am mad at him for something
He doesnt HOWEVER seem to realize that when i say "Go ahead" i am NOT fine with it at all.

Snake_Lady it is really cool ur hubbs takes care of your animals even though he isnt crazy about them like you are, just because he is crazy about YOU.

...So my roommate uses this kind of language with me almost everyday. I must be doing something wrong. lol.

Basically, it all stems down to the fact that all women are crazy.

I'm just kidding, even though I haven't been on here in ages, I love the ladies of this forum.

After 24 years, my dh still flirts with me in public. We both work for the same cab company, and often cross paths on the cabstands. He will pull up beside me and say "hey, you're cute, are you married?" When I say yes, he will get out of his car, come over, kiss me and say something like "you need to get rid of him, you're coming home with me." It freaks out the people that don't know we are a couple, because all of them knew I was married, but not all of them know he now works for the company.

My husband and I have been married for 15 years. We still flirt and carry in like newly weds. I put up with all of his typical manness and he puts up with my sometimes volitile scorpio self. He will build me anything I ask for. If I say I need or want something, he looking for a way to make sure I get it.

He likes animals, but not quite to the extent that I do. However when we took in a rescue horse he was right there ready to help in whatever needed to be done.

He helps clean. He will cook, change diapers...

Yeah, he's a keeper.
