Last Silly Fight with your SO?

[NMAmy]

I had a rotten day yesterday. I was SO ready to get home and have dinner and veg. I had spent all afternoon Sunday cooking meals for this week. I've been working late and DH is not much of a cook so I've been stocking up for the week so we won't have to survive on frozen food. He's really great about getting something around for dinner. All he has to do is warm up what I've already made.

I walked in the door and he told me he had put a FROZEN PIZZA in the oven. My jaw just dropped. I barely tolerate pizza at all--I hate the stuff!

Poor guy--he took one look at my face and knew he'd blown it. I asked why I'd worked my behind off over the weekend for frozen pizza on Monday night? Bless his heart--he just grabbed me & hugged me and said, "I'm sorry that I was stupid. Did you have a bad day?" Well, that'll knock the wind out of your sails when you've got a good mad up--someone apologizing and admitting they were wrong!

Then of course, I apologized for being such a witch. We hardly ever argue--luckily, we're usually cranky on different days and not very often!

So what was the last silly thing you fought with your SO about?

It's probably been over five years ago....I don't remember. We don't fight any more....we tolerate each other pretty well now!

Amy, I've been meaning to tell you for some time now: I'm in love with your DH. If your stories are true (and I believe they are!), then I am so totally smitten!

Anyway, last silly fight with my SO was about the appropriate time frame to return telephone messages. My philosophy is, I left you a message. It's your turn now. I assume that if it takes you a while to get back to me, then you must be busy.

His philosophy is, I left you a message. If you do not return that call in under half an hour, I will begin to call you incessantly until you answer the phone...even if it is 11 times in 2 hours.

We haven't resolved that one yet.

This is an easy one for me. We just got into it last Saturday, I was tossing stuff and DH is a notorious packrat. He went completely ballistic when he saw his old hockey uniform (circa 1971, when he happened to be 10 years old) in the trash and insisted Luke or Drew might need it someday? WTH? I went into the whole thing where its all good and fine that he has such a sentimental attachment to "stuff", but that we have nowhere to put it. He got all huffy and said he never tells me to toss anything. I finally ended up conceding by going to Target and buying yet ANOTHER plastic storage bin so we can keep his hockey uniform and Peter Frampton albums and the Microeconomics textbook he used in college that you just never know, he may need some day.

Aren't I a good wife?

Yes you are! I am the packrat at our house. I just realized that DH is very patient with me, too! Thanks!

Sounds like my DH! I threatened to list everything on Ebay if he didn't find a place for it!

Beleive it or not, he is selling his LP's in lots on Ebay. And you can tell him that "vintage" hockey uniforms are all the rage (use the term old school--that will get his goat!)


As for me and my SO, I got into a tiff about a shed. He overanalyzes everything. so he never orders something when it is time to order it. He has to think, rethink, rethink some more, and yet rethink more!

By the time he is done thinking, the sale or promotion is usually over.

Join the club, Mal! My mother (who doesn't really even like ME that much) makes him an apple pie every weekend, my sister, my niece, and every woman that I work with are in love with him, as well. I swear, he's such a great guy that I keep waiting for him to admit that he's really a pod person. Good luck on the phone call thing!

Snoopy--you are a GREAT wife. The microeconomics book? I didn't even use that when I was IN the class. Which would kind of explain my grade but I don't really forsee a microecon emergency coming up any time soon!

Our last silly fight was last night because I got "huffy" over the fact that he let it "slip" that the picture I gave him of us when we were first dating stayed in his desk draw at work. Now granted that was over two years ago and we are now married, I guess it's not a big deal.

I realized it was stupid and all was well... I really think that was silly!

Well, should you have an emergency, you can always call on us!

Over my glass! My DH cannot keep his hands off my glass! I am a real estate broker, I have been in real estate for 26 years, so I spend alot of time in my vehicle. And I like to keep it nice and clean, Especially the windows. There is nothing more unprofessional than dirty vehicle windows! Ok, according to me So everytime my DH is in my vehicle he can not keep his hands off my glass My kids know to keep their hands off the glass but my DH..NO!

SO this past weekend we went Christmas shopping in my vehicle which he is not allowed to drive because he cannot keep his hands off the glass!
Anyway he kept touching it, on purpose I tell you! SO I kept telling him to keep his hands off my glass! And he wouldn't! So I threatened to stop and make him walk, and the only reason I didn't was because I was afraid if pulled over on the shoulder I would not be able to get back on the interstate because the traffic was so busy! Is it so hard for my DH to keep his hands off my glass? IS it??

Same here, except that it's Physic's I and Fluid Mechanic's. He's sure he's going to need those some day. Nevermind he hasn't looked at them in the last 20 years. But I'm the packrat. "Before you bring anything new in, you have to throw away something, our house is not big enough to store all of your stuff."

Our last tiff was this past weekend. I wanted him to put up new blinds in the living room. The old blinds have been broken since Sept. and we are having people over on Thanksgiving. I am truely a nag for wanting new blinds for Thanksgiving!

We never have silly fights...they're always real arguments.

It was my birthday on Sunday and I popped a favorite CD of mine in the player on the way to a restaurant. I just wanted to enjoy my one little CD on my birthday. DH always listens to what he wants. After 3 songs, DH hit eject and put in one of his own cd's. Just totally not thinking. He's a bit of a spaz so I try not to hold it against him, but man was I ticked. It was my birthday! So, instead of telling him to put my cd back in, I sulked until he noticed then I said nothing was wrong. I was a bit of a drama queen that day. But hey, I deserved to be! Turning 30 isn't easy, especially when you can't listen to the cd you want to listen too...

Michie: I keep thinking that if I heard a woman yelling at her husband to keep his hands off her GLass--that I might think she was saying something else! I think you need to make that man sit on his hands when he's riding in your vehicle!

Snoopy--it's good to know that I have an econ backup if I should need it!

I'm loving these, guys. Thanks for sharing! It's nice to know that other people get upset about silly things, too.

Don't remember. We hardly ever fight. Probably at least a year ago over something stupid.
