The thing I just don't get about my Fiancée is that she insists on having the most in-depth conversations when I am trying to play video games. I am not sure if she understands that this is my sanctuary, my get-away, my journey into things I cannot actually do. Like throw grenades at friends, play college and pro football, and drive a golf ball 340 yards (straight). These are things I like to do for about 2 hours a day. Yup that's it. Two hours is all I ask. But noooooooooooooo, this is not to happen in my household at the times that I would like it to.
Here is how it works. I get home from work, belly up on the couch and get ready for a good gaming experience. Usually I am enjoying myself, calling in air strikes on Call of Duty Modern Warfare and carpet bombing the hell out of a bunch of 9 year olds that like to play this game too (online). About an hour into the session I usually receive a phone call from a certain someone. This is about the time where I attempt to listen to what is going on in my ear on the phone but I am to focused on the next gutting of my opponents. *Just to let everyone know, I do like to talk to her and listen to her day but there are certain times I need to just play. I mean, we are getting old and I can't do this forever (even though I will attempt to)* Ok, back to the phone call. She will KNOW I am playing but still insist on talking to me about what happened today or who upset her. She will begin the story, go through the entire thing, and not get the proper feedback from me that she was looking for. Once this happens, it is all down hill. I will try to attempt to say "No, I was listening I promise!" even though I have no clue what she just said to me. This leads to about a half hour of her being annoyed with me. This today is what I just don't get!
Can I be a man for 2 hours? Love ya babe!

Here is a situation that I cannot stand with my girlfriend. Making plans for things.
ReplyDeleteLast week one of our "kindof" friends was having a birthday party on Saturday night. She asked me if I was going to go on Monday before the party. My response "maybe". She asked again later in the week, and I still had not made up my mind if I was going to go or not. So I told her "I might" again.
Then she went off on me, "If you don't want to go just tell me GOD, you are so F-N DUMB sometimes!"
My response "k."
I didn't understand where that came from, in my mind I just didn't want to commit to something that was going to be lame, and wanted to keep our options open.
The girl that was having the party wasn't a good friend of ours either, all it was is that we knew some people that were going to be there.
I hate making and committing to plans, especially if they're lame. And furthermore hate those situations where you don't want to be somewhere with people that you do not like. I think you know those situations.
It is not like I am totally against making plans with my girl, but lame ones I cannot do. Lo Siento Babe..
I feel you. Women are just a big ol' pain!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that. They are very hard to read. By the way get a new name BearHater2009. Your name should be something more fitting for you like... lavenderlover 0-16 because thats what those Vikings are gonna be. By the way do you guys have a QB yet?
ReplyDeleteThe ladies can be hard to read. That is true. But did it ever occur to you that they probably just hate half-ass commitments? That includes half-ass listening, and not wanting to make a plan, for god's sake. If you're too busy to pay attention, say something. If you don't want to attend a party with lame-asses, then say something. Don't be a puss.
ReplyDeleteA little tip also: Maybe keep the volume turned down a bit - women don't particularly love it when their house sounds like a war zone or the middle of Soldier Field.
That is all.
women are hard to read yes....but you need to learn to be more clear with us. Saying "maybe" to us can mean a million and one things to us. We tend to over think things. just be clear. Say to us "you know, we really don't know anyone there and I'm not willing to sit on a couch next to a bunch of people I don't know and try and make small talk." Don't say maybe because a maybe to us means ask me later. Straight answers are better.
ReplyDeleteand women...by now we should know that 9 out of 10 times a maybe really means no.
oh and I totally agree with Your Mom on the volume. I don't need to hear the sound of you ripping off the limbs of Ninja's.
