Women does your Husbands /Spouse /Boyfriend???

1Pretty_Busy_Mom · January 2013

Oh look..another generalizing post! -.-

Men are NOT the only ones that do this.

Ugh...I'm sorry..I'm trying to be civil - but these Men do this, Women do that posts are just ridiculous.

And the OP may not have meant to sound like she's bashing men - but, well..she SOUNDS like she's bashing men.

And for any person that thinks it is a good idea to post a rant about their SO - it isn't. I hope that your boyfriend/husband whatever doesn't ever come across this. Most people tend to get a bit pissy at the thought of their personal issues getting broadcasted to a bunch of strangers...especially when we all now know what he looks like. Just saying.

Yes he was actually next to me when I wrote the post and we laughed about it..like now.
its a good thing you know what he looks like, my profile is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC a lot more pics of us loving each other and having a good time. Guess what else. Its Sunday, we went to church ordered us some wings and tenders then watched the Patriots beat the Texans. Oh yeah THE ENTIRE FAMILY watched the game, now MY HUSBAND is in the family room playing his ps3 and I'm in bed. STHU

Have you ever said "honey we need to talk" and your man looks like he is terrified. Lol Why?? Lol
Do you talk and your man just stares with a dumb look on his face??? Clueless ..Omg Why??
FOOTBALL, SEX, FOOD the 3 things that get your mans FULL ATTENTION??
My pastor said statistics say Men think about SEX every 14sec...
I could go on and on with the why?why?why?
Even with all the Whys? My man is still handsome, loving, caring, funny, sensitive, understanding, hardworking provider, protector, dad..that LOVES HIS FAMILY UNCONDITIONALLY.
Feel free to ask your WHYs or Answer some..and feel free to add me Good Day

I'd have to say my man is the complete opposite.

I think you should try and word "we need to talk" a little differently... If he said that to me, I'd think OMG what now!?!?

So you're saying take off "honey " and just say "we need to talk" ..kmsl..this is hilarious

Instead of pouting about it, tell him how you really feel. Men aren't capable of reading a woman's mind anyhow., we're just too damn complex. Subtle hints are just that and men won't pick up on your sugar coated cues. If you want something done, tell them you want something done.

Omfg!!!! I don't feel anyway about it. I don't care that he never closes the sliding door on the showed, or leaves the closet doors open, forgets to recapture the toothpaste or even forgets to put the trash out!! SO WHAT!! He works, he pays the bills, doesn't drink or smoke and is home when not working. Ugh..

1Pretty_Busy_Mom · January 2013

Why can't women just shut their mouths rather than airing all their complaints about their men on the Internet? Maybe if you piped down your man would want more sex. I can't generalize though. My wife would never do what you just did. She's also sexy as hell so there's no wonder I can't keep my hands off her body.

Why the hell didn't you read the post in its entirety ..I wasn't complaining or bashing my husband..and honey the sex part my husband says thinking about it every 14sec.is too long. He thinks about it every 8-10sec. And after we finished LAUGHING I still asked WHY..sthu

1Pretty_Busy_Mom · January 2013

.... This topic is very interesting haha I just went through and read every single post ( getting very preoccupied from what I am supposed to be doing) . In conclusion, I agree that the OP is getting taken way out of context. She was not bashing her husband or every single male for that matter. It was just a friendly, comical, question of why "most males" act this way. I would agree that I exhibit some (not all) of the tendencies that her husband displays. I do not take offense one bit. And if you do take offense, you need to lighten up. Stereo-types exist for a reason, and I'm sure everyone here fits into at least 1 stereo-type of some kind whether they want to admit it or not.
1. I work and study for about 12 hours a day. - when I come home I should be able to get some of my personal hobbies in.
2. She could take an interest and at least try to play with me. - I do watch all her " chick flicks"
3. I love her, but I need some "me time" every now and then (haha or at least like 1 - 2 hours a day)

Lol..finally someone gets it.

I can understand the frustration. But my boyfriend and I actually do the same thing. ^_^ He'll be on his computer, I'll play video games... we'll sit there for hours and not talk. So I guess I'm just as bad as he is.

Ugh...I'm sorry..I'm trying to be civil - but these Men do this, Women do that posts are just ridiculous.

And the OP may not have meant to sound like she's bashing men - but, well..she SOUNDS like she's bashing men. Her whole "tone" to the post is about why do men do this.
HOW THE HELL DOES ASKING AND FINDNG SOMETHING FUNNY CONSIDERED "MALE BASHING " STHU

Also - your pastor isn't a scientist. I doubt a guy thinks about sex every 14sec..if he did..how the hell do you expect them to concentrate on a game? Hmmmm? Yeah.
NOPE NEVER SAID HE WAS A SCIENTIST, HE'S A PASTOR..maybe I should have been a bit more clearer again, MY PASTOR SAID "STATISTICS " say (guess he read it somewhere) THAT MEN THINK ABOUT SEX EVERY 14SEC.

And for any person that thinks it is a good idea to post a rant about their SO - it isn't.
I FORGOT THAT THIS IS THE INTERNET WORLD..EVERYTHING IS FAIRYTALE.
ALL THE HUSBANDZ ARE ALL OF A SUDDEN PERFECT RIGHT?? WHATEVER
I GUESS ALL THE HUSBANDS GO TO THE GYM WITH US, COUNTING CALORIESWITH US, EATING HEALTHY, GIVING ALL THE LOVE, SUPPORT AND TOTALLY DEDICATED TO HELPING US LOSE WEIGHT RIGHT?? EXACTLY WHY WE ARE HERE ON MFP LOOKJNG FOR FRIENDS/SUPPORT SYSTEM. SMH

I hope that your boyfriend/husband whatever doesn't ever come across this. Most people tend to get a bit pissy at the thought of their personal issues getting broadcasted to a bunch of strangers...especially when we all now know what he looks like. Just saying.

I can understand the frustration.

I understand that you wanted to be funny and have this fun topic for discussion.... But your first post sounded a little hysterical. All these Whyyyyyyy, oh whyyyyy?!?!?!? Why?!? Why?! Why?!

First I thought you had a real problem with an addicted husband. Noooooow I get it was a joke and etc... But it's just not funny.

This thread is old, but I'm responding anyway

Glad to see there are others out there in a situation similar to mine.

My boyfriend works from maybe 8am-3pm (schedule is a little different every day.) When he gets home, its straight to xbox. He'll play from the time he gets home until dinner. When dinner rolls around, he plays games on his phone and is glued to the television. After he gets finished eating, he'll get back on xbox and play until midnight. He'll climb into bed and want to watch a movie, all the while playing a game on his phone.

It's ANNOYING and ridiculous. If he didn't live with me I would've been done a long time ago. Our relationship isn't romantic, exciting, or fun anymore. We don't talk. it feels more like friends/roommates.

Anyway, it's encouraging to see other people dealing with the same thing; good to know I'm not alone. If anyone wants to talk, message me.

1) my man and I think about sex all the time, it isn't just something he thinks about.
2) we both love video games and both suffer staring off and not listening when playing said video game.
3) we both love to watch football (and hockey, I want to go to a game so bad!)
4) we have things we do together and things we do apart, but we're always a little more awesome together haha.

Try being more interesting than a video game.

As I type this, my husband is playing Call of Duty. I think I'll go split screen it with him and get my virtual killing streaks on.

TheStephil · May 2013

My bf is playing video games right now. I don't really care though because I'm on MFP. He is really good about checking to see if I want him to stop so we can watch TV or go do something. Besides, Borderlands 2 is awesome.

He's not afraid to ask for directions either but he has a smart phone so normally we don't have a problem. He is a better driver than me and I'm the first one to admit it. I rather him drive anyway but he always offers me the keys first.

He has faults but overall he's pretty amazing. And he doesn't like football which is a huge plus. He will watch hockey with me though and that's the only sport I'm interested in.

Achrya · May 2013

My husband and I met because of video games. I can't even be mad about them.

JustAGirl0916 · May 2013

My husband is all about call of duty. We're in the middle of hot tub fun and he'll bring up call of duty. Pretty sad and very annoying!

pamperedhen · May 2013

My husband says women sound like a bunch of hens clucking! And he says all he hears is Charlie Brown's teacher voice when he is engrossed in tv or the computer!:huh:

^^^^^^^^^^^^This.

Justjamie0418 · May 2013

Video games keeps my husband busy so he isn't bothering me.

heh.

But no really. I DO know men can have an unhealthy addiction to the games. I have literally walked into the room naked, strutted across the room, layed on the couch splayed out ( I will try to keep this clean)... well.... he didnt even look up. Now I just dont care.

AnnieH_4512 · May 2013

Women have been asking this question for thousands of years! Men just think a little more.. um... simply. They don't need much, just some attention and entertainment. And, of course, they'll admit, they need love. They just don't see the need to talk about it.

I play video games more than my fiancé does. I like it when he watches me play, I don't make him do it but it's nice to share story lines/achievements/etc with him, and I do the same when he plays video games. The best is playing stuff together. Maybe he doesn't share his hobby with you because you act disinterested or hostile towards it.
