My wife can be pretty darn cool

[Thrawn]

Yep, you don't deserve her.  For shame, leaving her alone with the kids on your anniversary, so you can ski with your boyfriend, snort coke, and kill some hookers.

[Spikes]

Have fun skiing! I live about 3 minutes from our local ski area, but I snowboard.

ABSOFRIKKINGLUTELY!!!

When initial plans for a romantic getaway are ruined you do NOT say "Well if WE cant do this. Do you mind if "I" do this instead!

She predictably says "yea why dont you go." what she really means is

"go on Ahole promise to do something with me. then go and do somethig without me with one of your buddies instead."

What she really wanted you to do was sit and suffer with her.
but that would appear to be selfish on her part. So she didnt say it
But thats what she secretly wanted.

she is planning on hitting up the jewlery store because she isnt happy about YOUR trip.
And now your going to pay.

Doh! Bad form mate!

Dude.
Do the smart thing now and just plan a romantic overnight trip. Even if its just local.

Surely you can find someone to watch the kids for one night.
Or rescedule your trip for a different weekend.

But DONT blow her off for a trip with your buddy no matter what she says.

In instances like this. women will rarely say what they mean or want so they dont look like the bad guy.

This self sacrifice on their part. they will use against you at a later time.

Trust me

Not true ~ you just have to figure out how to interpret it. She already did say what she meant ~ when she talked about going to the jewelry sale.  
Translation: "You selfish bastard... if you can't do something nice for me, I'll do it myself... and it's going to cost A LOT of money."

Not necessarily self sacrifice... but definitely on the 'at a later time' part.

Dang! My husband would soooooo be on the couch for about a month if he ditched me on our anniversary weekend to ski with buddies. LOL!

*edit* LOL! Oh man, not only is it anniversary weekend, it's also Valentines day.  That's totally a 3 month couch trip! LOL!

Curval,

^^^^ What they said.

This is supposed to be your anniversary with your wife. The skiing trip can come at another time, just plan for it so your wife can plan to do something else, just don't make it on one of those 'special' days.

[Curval]

lol

You guys don't know my wife.

First of all, she was the one who scuppered the plan and was wondering if "I" was very disappointed.  I told her we could still do it and either pay full fare or go through the US.  She called it off.

Secondly, I will leave the day AFTER V-Day and anniversary.

Thirdly, she had a great time at the sale this morning and didn't go overboard at all...and she bought me a really nice pair of cufflinks.

So, no...she doesn't consider me a selfish bastard at all.

[SaburoS]

So, what are you going to get her to surprise her for VDay and your anniversary?
This would be good and quite a surprise as she thinks it's done with already.

You have to consider the fact that men hear only what women actually say.
Not what they mean.
We dont translate well.
When we talk we mean what we say.
when women talk they mean what they say but only kinda sorta.
they leave it open to a wide range of interperation.
And will use whichever translation suits them at a given moment.

Yes. right now the translation means "you selfish bastard etc etc.."

In a arguement 3 years from now it will be "Oh and how about the time you blew me off to go away skiing with your friends."
10 years form now it will be "you still owe me a gift from 10 years ago when you went away without me."

TMom.
You aint kidding me hun. Been married for 25 years. Im a grizzled veteran of marriage and have the combat scars to prove it.

If i've learned nothing else about women is you all NEVER say what you actually mean. And if y'all can figure a way to use something against us. Eventually you will.

My brother in laws and myself formed a little club.
We call it
"The P.S.S. Club"
Which stants for
The Phsyco Sisters Surviviors Club.
Our motto is
"Kobiashi Maru"
We are planning on having T-shirts made up with P.S.S in large letters on one side above the picture "Scream" (see pyros avitard) and word "Win" in a circle with a line running through it (No win) and the words "Kobiashi Maru" above it on the other.

We dont call it that because our wives can understand normal thinking.
and we know there is no winning no matter what we do.
