Home alone while the boys go fishing

[Nuclear Unicorn]

My dad adores my fiance. I suppose that's a good thing but he adores him so much he wants to take him fishing all the time.

Now, Lover Boy does spend plenty of time with me but I just moved in with him last weekend and I'm here all by myself. He asked if I was OK with it and I said yes...mostly because I know how much it means to my dad. I know I said OK and I have to be a big girl and stand by what I said.

But still I'm bummed.

My best friend has a new BF so he's not an option to hang out with for at least another week until they break up.

I think I liked it better when Lover Boy was out drinking with his old army buddies.

1. Grab a fishing pole and head out with them next time

2. what stopped you from going with them?

you had a chance to do an event with your dad and your BF at the same time but refused.

i'd say the issue isn't with you're bf.

4. I didn't say it was the BF I said I was bummed

it's nobody's fault he likes fishing and I don't. Fish smell bad and by the end of the day my dad smells worse.

It's nobody's fault my dad likes hanging out with my fiance. Well, technically it is my fiance's fault he's such a good guy even my hyper-protective dad likes him but that is a good thing.

An obviously he doesn't need my permission because I gave him my blessing.

I'm just puttering around the house because I don't have people to hang out with except on the intertubez.

3. why didnt you go with them?

do you believe he should only do things you like?
Do you think he should bow down and get permission before he craps?

Join in and enjoy or you will have a short marriage

5. My SO likes to fish, I don't. I think it's boring, BUT, when he goes I go along. Take a

nice picnic lunch and a good book and enjoy the day in the fresh air.

7. hubby helps me get on the perfect rock, in middle of stream. i read. he fishes

8. You know...

...these might be the winning suggestions.

But the I couldn't have have anymore pity parties.

:D

[seabeyond]

9. lol, when life is so grand

in so many ways

it truely is hard for me to do pity.

actually, even bad, i have a tough time with pity.

give me a hard one.... maybe i can muster some pity.

i like to fish, a little. we go often. hubby loves fishing. he baits... lol, i fish and reel in and he does the rest.

then i go off with a book

oh... how is it working for you living there? kinda fun?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

15. And ya know something...I have nothing to be pitied for

My life is pretty frickin' awesome right now.

I love that my dad enjoys spending time with Lover Boy. And last night his parents called saying they missed seeing us.

It's certainly a heckuva lot better than feuding with the in-laws on either side.

If they want to fish anytime I'm happy for them . And yes, I'll probably tag along with a picnic lunch. They want to hunt in the autumn but I am NOT going to eat Bambi burgers!

16. i know. i was playin

i know you are fine. and no chance in hell i would do the bambi thing either. lol. i would cry.

11. I HATE country music..the wife HATES nascar

next Saturday I'm going to a George Jones concert...the saturday after she is going with me to the sharpies 500.

It's all give and take.

I would rather stab my eyes out with a dull stick than see George Jones but I am going because she loves him and I love her.

She would rather work a 20 hour day than go to a nascar event but she is going because I like it.

That's marriage

6. you are funny.

things will mellow out. you have a lifetime... bah hahahaha

10. Hubby used to take our boys on 'great adventures' in the summer

(when the boys were young) and I LOVED having time alone to myself.

I could read a book without being interrupted to fix dinner when I wasn't hungry;
I could get up in the morning when I felt like it and stay up late watching movies;
I could go shopping--just to look--and not have someone wanting me to 'hurry up';
I could eat a sandwich for lunch and a salad for dinner and not cook a damn thing;
I could go to the bathroom without someone coming to find me and want something!

You get the idea?

12. My wife is bugging me to take her fishing constantly

She is worse than a little kid about going all the time.

She wants to try some bottom fishing today I had good luck with last time we went and I caught some big ones. Last time we went was yesterday. Sheesh.

She made me stop at the bait shop last night on our way home from a wedding reception in my suit to purchase some more night crawlers. I am serious.

14. that is sooo cute. i love it. ah ha.

i love for hubby to go fishing cause he likes it that much.

13. a solid relationship needs time apart

you did say he spends plenty of time w/ you

He needs to be able to spend time doing things he likes. The things he likes are what makes him who he is, and if he stops doing them, he won't be the person you care about.

Go do something you like. Make sure you remain the person he cares about
