My goodness....how about honest and trusting relationships that value putting the other first? Sacrificing for those we love?
Seems we are stressing our independance at the expense of a true open relationship.

This thread is a sad commentary on relationships..

I sold the wife on the fact that the HT doesn't just benefit me, but also her and the kids. Sure I'll be watching football for hours on end, but football won't be back for 6 months anyway. I told her we'd have a weekly "movie night" which is a great FAMILY activity. She really latched on to that. But the kicker was when I suggested that, by having this bad a$$ HT, our house will be the cool place to hang out for our sons and their friends (when they're old enough). That makes it easier to stay in tune with what's going on in their lives, perhaps keep them out of trouble, and foster a greater parent/child relationship

Man I can't wait for football season.

I suspect it's the same one we live on. I don't think we've got the internet relays between other planets set up yet.

It's all about negotiation and give and take. Although I did mention the fact that she might enjoy our home theatre we both knew that it was mainly for me.

But thats ok, the previous major purchase was mainly for her and the next one is going to to be for both of us. It doesn't have to always be my turn/your turn but I think it should be open and honest, and there is nothing wrong with it sometimes being just for you or her.

I'm getting dizzy, get me off this soapbox .

See, you got the FIRST part of that right... the "I sold the wife"... but there should have been a period at the end of that thought.

Apparently I touched a nerve.

This could go in so many directions that I will just let this die.

Best of luck in the future.

BBIBH,

I'm hear you and more or less agree with you, but some guys just need to bitch about this stuff once in a while. Who am I to stop them or criticize their relationships?
