HCBW asking me to choose 10 things I want her to do for me...

Pinterest is the devil. This is the start of a downward spiral.

MightyFreakingCougar

Don't be surprised when you see "Let me get a gym membership" on her top 10

MightyFreakingCougar

1/28/13 10:41pm

What's your point?

Kuga

1/28/13 10:48pm

Same as below, they said it a lot better. Just be very careful.

MightyFreakingCougar

1/28/13 11:11pm

Personally, 65 would be in my top 10

I think the RS is overcomplicating it. Guys are not that hard to figure out.

This is a really bad idea

Explain

Kuga

1/28/13 10:49pm

Each thing you put on the list translates to she's doing a bad job at that.

Cosmo Kramer

This is exactly right.

Good post.

Yeah

PharmCoug

1/29/13 1:58pm

Sounds like something she is doing for herself

messi

1/28/13 10:37pm

Either that was TIC, or a really yewt thing to say.

Kuga

1/28/13 10:43pm

It's true, though. I should have been more

Sadly, has merit and truth. I wish FB, Twilight and bookclub gossip would all go

This goes for guys too, not just women...

Kuga

CB?

cypresstx

1/29/13 6:59am

To an extent, yeah. I suppose there are worse sites than Pinterest or Cb...

Kuga

1/29/13 7:08am

I agree with you. Anything that takes time away from with your spouse or family

unctoothman

1/29/13 11:46am

Add in there "Read CB together"

Yeah, that's a great one if you want to sleep alone for a few weeks

workindev

1/28/13 10:40pm

FYI, the Mrs. is 20 weeks along w/ our 2nd child, so #83 doesn't apply IMO.

Kuga

1/28/13 10:46pm

So, she is pregnant and asking you to tell her what she is doing wrong? How can

viper

1/29/13 11:29am

Ask her which ones she thinks you wold want. See how well she really knows you.

unctoothman

1/28/13 10:41pm

Been married almost 5 years.

Kuga

1/28/13 10:46pm

You should probably ask what she wants you to do more. After 5 years she

unctoothman

1/28/13 10:51pm

Good point. I stumbled across the list of things for her, planning on having her

Kuga

1/28/13 10:54pm

Oh oh. I ca see where this is leading to...

Rhino84

1/28/13 11:04pm

Sounds like this list was made by a woman...

Blue Morg

1/28/13 10:54pm

I thought that was a given. It's blatantly obvious.

Cosmo Kramer

1/28/13 11:04pm

89 is good, in many ways. Stay away from 91 and other Stepford suggestions

Florwood

You are treading on dangerous waters my friend.

Good feedback; thoughtful. Thanks.

Kuga

Ding ding ding ... reminds me of the Grapefruit Syndrome

Bergloewe

1/28/13 11:23pm

10 things is way too many. Just 2 or 3 would go a long way.

Cosmo Kramer

1/28/13 11:07pm

do you have kids?

azuniga

1/28/13 11:13pm

Me? Or Cosmo Kramer? We have 1 boy and another due in June.

Kuga

1/28/13 11:17pm

She's prego? Hormones and emotions all over the place?

MightyFreakingCougar

1/28/13 11:24pm

Isn't that a given? ;)

Kuga

1/29/13 6:54am

As a couples counselor I very much agree with this. 10 is way too many.

CounselingCoug

1/28/13 11:23pm

Thank you for the advice! Good perspective

Kuga

1/29/13 7:05am

It sounds like you have a very healthy relationship

CounselingCoug

1/29/13 10:35pm

Here's what you should do, instead

We're all very well aware of your "opinions" Board Ruiner!! Ha ha, Jk.

MightyFreakingCougar

1/28/13 11:35pm

My first post on the main board since that comment, not forgotten yet I guess

dchandle15

1/29/13 12:06am

Ha ha, just razzin' ya. You certainly made waves.

MightyFreakingCougar

1/29/13 12:21am

Yeah, it's interesting how far that went after a simple venting post

dchandle15

1/29/13 1:33am

Here's some perspective from a HCBW...that list is ridiculous.

nell

1/29/13 12:35am

My HCBW says Pinteret should only be a diversion not a self help book.

Instead you might come up with a list of 10 things you will do, instead of her

cypresstx

1/29/13 6:31am

Also let her pick the changes she wants to apply to herself

All women need to know is that actions speak louder than words

'IT'S A TRAP'. Not a trap your wife set up but one pininterest is helping her

rebelCoug

1/29/13 6:19am

It's a trap!!! Is exactly the same thoughts I had

cypresstx

1/29/13 6:28am

Exactly. This is what I was getting at.

messi

1/29/13 6:45am

I would just ask her to surprise you and pick the 10 herself

runnincoug

1/29/13 8:20am

I honestly think she has really good intentions.

This needs to be approached as "top 10 ways I feel loved", not "top 10 things

I use the five love languages assessment and most people seem to like it.

Thanks, I'll check it out. The more principles the better!

I wondered if it was ever really a good idea to ask CB for advice...
