LOL! I thought that's what men were actually for! There aren't any around here these days (other than Arnie, the cat), so it's sorta boring. It's just not the same without packaged insanity.

DH is back to "normal" too. Sigh. I love him but there are times that if there had actually been a plug, I'd be kicking myself not not pulling it on him.

Btw, update on that old fart I married in January. After no kicking the bucket, he got into rehab. Rehab is very different but he's doing well. He hurt his foot or he'd have been discharged last Thursday. Hopefully this week!! Thanks for everyone's prayers and PMs. They kept me sane, or as sane as I can be.

So, so glad he's back to that which males like to call "normal"! The two of you have been through so much! I feel like jumping up and down and hollering "Yay!"

Poor DD. she's actually been asking me stuff about why her boyfriend is so weird. I had to tell her he isn't, he's a man. She's pretty weirded out. Welcome to the "club."

Then the guy I've been talking to for over 3 weeks who hasn't asked me on a date yet, but yet claims he's still really interested and hopes I'm not going out with any other guys (not his business at all but whatever).... I asked him when we were getting together on Tuesday and he didn't give me a straight answer. And I haven't heard from him since Thursday. GTFOH with that shit!

Trying to figure out how to her before he starts up with you & isn't very good at the breaking up part. Reconnaissance needed to confirm assumption.

I was talking to one guy this week from a dating website. When I asked what he did, after telling me he had to mention his last job working with celebrities where he could get tipped 100 an hour but wasn't bragging. Then proceeded to call me ugly because I wouldn't send a photo beyond the five on my profile.
Another guy asked when I was free this week. I told him two days and his response was to let him know if I was interested in going out. Uhhh that's why I told you what days I was free.

as a man, i'd love to hear some stories of what you women consider weird that we might think nothing of
I'm 73 and working full time. DH is 77 and is a house husband, which he hates. For the last couple of weeks he has been studying 'Dutch Painters' for a talk he gave a couple of days ago. Last week I came home and he spent an hour telling me he couldn't concentrate on his talk because there were too many things that had to be done around the house.
Y, s, r. The bed was still unmade and the sink was full of dishes. So now I make the bed and put the dishes in the dishwasher before going to work. Today I'll get out the vacuum and give the house a once-over ..... then get the grocery shopping done. I'm doing laundry now. I'm ticked and he knows it.
Wonder what he'll complain about next.

That is all because most guys are either idiots or jerks. Some have the extreme poor form to be both. That is also why I find it pretty easy to make myself stand out from the crowd.
But in their defense, YOU ALL are the ones wasting time on them! How desperate ARE you?

Wonder what he'll complain about next. Any reason you don't send him back to work instead? It is one thing to dislike housework (I'm right there with him) but not okay to pawn it off on someone who has work obligations outside the house.

Not me! As I said, the only male around here is Arnie, the cat. He adores me. Well, actually he adores my opposable thumb, since he can't open cat food cans.

I've been keeping my options open the whole time so I haven't wasted too much time on him... Although most of these guys are some garden variety of asshole.

I have no choice. I have 5 years left with the one and 13 with the other. And you can't train them any better than that? In that case you deserve what you get.
Or are you solidly on one side of the nature vs. nurture debate?

sorry, but everyone has their preferences.
i get the impression you're pretty hot, but everyone still has a type
Yeah I'm starting to think either or both at this point. I don't know about "pretty hot" but I do alright.
