Relationship Big Shock Tonight

Would I call that my condom fund? :D

Blushing......... yes! Good for you!

Jawn, maybe start with a choclolate and Flower fund.

The in time you will have use for the erm, condom fund.

 

[KP the nut]

Hmmm, saving money to romance sounds good to me! Would I call that my condom fund? :D

So funny

The first time my kids became aware of condoms we were stopped at services on the motorway. I've always been up front with the kids, answering questions but not giving anything more. Well they must have been about 9 and 7 and the conversation went like this.

Mum, what is a condom?
H and I look at each other

Me; well, when Mummys and Daddys love each other they have children like you 2. But if they don't want a baby they can use a condom and that stops the Mummy having a baby.
Silence from the back of the car and I think yes, good job Mum.
Mum, why are the banana flavoured?

Me, I don't know - they just are

God, kids

 

[Jawn]

Banana flavored? Sheesh! I've been out of that loop for too long!

I did glance at them in the store yesterday and there seems to be a lot more choices than there was 18 yrs ago. Decisions, decisions......

 

[amethist]

JAWN, CHOCOLATES AND FLOWERS FIRST.

Then you can decide on the flavor or what ever later.

I was going to say something in relation to the "How to peel a banana" thread, but may get banned so will leave that to your own imagination.

 

[Jawn]

Chocolate? You mean like chocolate kisses?

I believe in schools here they use cucumbers

Ewwww.... now we are getting into too much information....

Well my wife came out to the house Saturday to get the rest of the "big stuff" she is taking. Her best friend was with her and they spent most of their time boxing up little stuff, but we did load up a dresser, cabinet, hope chest, and her grandma's antique sewing machine. A couple of times she said "I'm taking -------". Most of the time it was something trivial that I don't care about, but there were a couple of things I pushed back on. I even got a bit nasty at one point and her BF's mouth was kinda hanging open. I believe I used the phrase that she had "raped and pillaged the bedroom walls of pictures" and she wasn't going to do it with the rest of the house.

All in all, it was OK though. We own a timeshare (yeah yeah, I don't want to hear about it) and we were discussing how little it was worth, so my wife told me to keep it. Then she started talking about using it to exchange to other locations we hadn't been too. She was talking about going together! WTF? Arrgghhh! My freaking head!

Her BF did give me a big hug and asked how I was holding up. She also told me she was very worried about my wife, but didn't have a chance to elaborate. I'm tempted to call her and ask for more detail, but on the other hand maybe I shouldn't. Sigh......

(((HUGS)))

It sounds as if you handled a bad situation really well. Hopefully she now knows she can't just take, take, take.

OK I won't mention the timeshare - oops just did sorry

And you're right about holidaying together WTF!

IMHO I wouldn't phone and ask for details about why she was worried. It sounds a bit game play to me, but I don't have answers. You need to do what feels right for you.

Hope the condom fund is going well.

Take care
HUGS

Well I got a surprise tonight when I got home. She had left me a note on the counter thanking me for helping her on Saturday especially since she knows it's not high on my list of things to do. I had to laugh because I left some chocolates on the counter and she had eaten one and wrote the note on the wrapper. A pleasant surprise for sure.

 

[Nicolette]

Hmmm..... What happened to boundaries & the key being given back? ..... Sorry but I would not like the above as not only is it messing with your head, it's double standards & disrespectful to your privacy Jawn. Do you know what she does in the house while you are not there?!
