PDA

View Full Version : Seems the tolerance is borderline accepting now.

Had a chat with my wife yesterday when she got home from her job, a clothing store. went like this -

her - BTW, I was going to tell you that we have pantyhose on clearance for $2.99.

me - Really why is that?

her - They are getting ones with new packaging or something... I just thought I would tell a [embarrasing term of endearment].

me - Well I have no problems buying stuff like that, but what about your coworkers seeing your husband buying pantyhose?

her - I can go with you and they will just figure they are for me... [I told her I wanted to get the right size and style]

Later -

me - I figured all this stuff about me dressing bothered you.

her - [shrug] Well whatever you want to do, as long as I don't get harassed about it.
me - So people at your job would act stupid about this?

her - Every day is stupid day at [her store]

Earlier this week she gave me a brand new thing of eyeshadow that she had received from Avon by mistake. I asked the same thing about this bothering her and she said "I know you like to do that...

She has known for years. I don't know if she is just making up for all the times she borrows my clothes or what. :heehee:
I get the feeling that she actually wants the hose and is just saying they are for me as an excuse to buy them... Of course I wear more than she does.

Looks to me like she,s decided it isn,t going away, so she may as well accept its there.
A small but very important step on the path to acceptance :)

Well, well, isn't that a nice little development! I'm glad to see your wife is coming around, if only slowly, and that you're not pushing the issue. I hope it continues to get better. Good luck. :hugs: Tammi

If you can't beat it, join it....

or...

she realizes she can't change you, so she might as well get what she wants too...

$2.99? That's a good price...I guess she won't bulk buy though. Congratulations, sounds like a milestone.

My wife surprised me with an outfit last XMAS. I can't begin to tell you how special that moment was. It was her way of showing her acceptance and support of me and it continues to this day with a monthly girl shopping day. I am truly blessed. I just wish all of us would be as lucky.

Well the girls that get special gifts are very lucky indeed. My wife does that occasionally and it is truely wonderful. I'd like to find some nice pantyhose for $3 a pair. So good for you!

Sounds like she is coming around. Slow and easy, don't push her!
