Do you ever have trouble getting thru to your significant other? For example...this morning:
Her-Why didn't you have Hunter call me before school this morning????
Me-we left for school, then I realized that I forgot my phone. After I dropped him off, I went back by the house and got it.
Her-So, why didnit you call me???
Me-I am calling you now.
Her-but why did you not have Hunter call me before school???
Me-because I forgot my phone and did not have time to go back and get it before he had to be in class.
Her-Oh....but you always have him call me on the way to school.
Me-yeah, on the days I remember my phone....
Her-I still don't understand why you did not have him call me today......
WTF-AM I SPEAKING SOMALIAN OR SOMETHING? HOW THE FRAK CAN HE CALLYOU IF WE DON'T HAVE THE TELEPHONE? SMOKE SIGNALS? TAP OUT MORSE CODE AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK?
I give up. Help me.

Rosetta Stone would make a ton of money if they had a kit to translate How women speak and think. Sorry, we are just too hard to figure out!!0

I just woke up my son laughing.
Maybe you should try explaining that you need a phone to call someone. That they have yet to implant them into our faces.0 -

I was going to say...I hope it never happens to the OP...but when/if she ends up being your 'ex'....it gets even better.
And by better, I mean hell.0 -
why didn't you have him call her
hehehehe .. :flowerforyou: ...
rules of women
1. we are never wrong
2. refer to number 1 :laugh:
ETA: i do understand your reason (above is a joke) .. she was simply mad and wasn't paying attn. to what you were saying0 -
My son's name is Hunter.
That's all I've got. :laugh:0 -

Ahhh yes, I know that level of hell.0 -
My last ex was like that, it drove me nuts! :explode: I finally realized (at least in his case) it was because he didn't care enough/have enough respect to listen to my answer or pay attention to me when I was talking to him and giving him the info that he would then ask about 3 minutes later.
The second my kids (thankfully not his so I never have to deal with his special brand of ignorance again) started pulling that stunt I threatened them with the removal of every toy in their possession, and a tv ban for the rest of the time they live under my roof. Since they're both under 10 this amounts to eternity in their eyes. Harsh? Yep! Did it work? Instantly!0 -
My partner does that. Drives me nuts. I think it's because he's not listening to the answers I'm giving. Also, he gives such vague and fuzzy answers to MY questions that I want to shake him.
Also claims to have told me things that never came out of his mouth. Seriously think he has a whole 'nother reality going on in his head.0 -
This extremely ironic today...argument with my other half as a result of my stepson talking crap.
We're fine now, but my stepson won't be!0 -
Thanks for the laughs! I love these conversations between couples. Of course, it's always funnier when it's happening to someone else.... Bless your heart!
Seriously, I think I have an answer for you! I think it is two things combined. #1 Your wife didn't like the answer she was getting-even though it made perfect sense- and she is being fueled by her emotions. She will realize this when she looks at it objectively and not emotionally. Of course, Hunter can't call because you forgot the phone! #2 she isn't addressing her feelings and really that is what the whole call was about. Your wife was upset, hurt, disappointed or (insert feeling) .........that she wasn't able to talk to Hunter before work like she always does. It wasn't necessarily about "why" you didn't have Hunter call. It was about "how she felt" when Hunter wasn't able to call. Couples, even open and honest ones, don't always communicate their feelings accurately and hence you get crazy, funny, wild, head-banging conversations like the one you had this morning. And sometimes they aren't even aware of their feelings until later..... That'll be $50! LOL0 -
