WTF do men want?

[Dial_tone]

You make your man a huge dinner that takes you all day to prepare for him. He gets home and tells you that he loves you, but he really wants to go get Micky Ds tonight...

I like Mickey D's and Sizzler.

PS - it WAS a special occasion.

It was my birthday.

I didn't return the gift until one week later when he was mean to me.

WOW. That is one HELL of a statement you made there:

"I'm still angry at you, so I won't accept your expensive birthday present."

You may not have said those words, but your actions spoke them loud and clear.

Finally, a guy who *got* it.

Werd, sweetheart. Something was going on with you if it was your bday, and you returned it a week later. No worries girl Talk ouy the troubles. Appreciate the gesture. You say you don't care about how much money he has but returning an expensive gift from him says otherwise, even more so a week later. DRAMA....forget this word. You love this guy don't use material things as weapons. Love him back and talk out what is bothering you .

Well, this was probably a mistake I made when I was married. My ex use to like to surprise me with little gifts. I have always been very frugal and financially responsible, if it's something I don't need, I see it as a waste of money and I think about all the starving children and think what a fucking waste. Instead of acting all surprised and happy, I would tell her, "Thank you baby, but I really didn't need that, can I take it back. That was very sweet though." That response never went very well with her. I thought after a couple of times that she would get the hint. BUt she came from a very materialistic family and that's one thing that contributed to our demise.

I was wondering if anybody else saw that post!

Taking it back under those circumstances says more than words could ever say.

Ok, I need to roll back all of my previous statements.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but the situation is as such:

He gave you a birfday present.
You accepted it.
You guys fought a week later.
You returned the gift.

That is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
First of all, it's a birthday present.
Secondly, you'd already accepted it.
And when the going gets a *wee* bit rough you start returning gifts?

Sounds like whenever things are going to go badly for the two of you, you will be be attempting to undo part of the relationship to avoid the pain of losing him.

If you accepted it, you need to make good on all this drama.

Here are a couple suggestions:

1.) Explain you were a fucktard for trying to return the gift well after having accepted it. Then explain ways he can avoid you totally mis-reading the gameplay making shit worse than it was originally. Give him a "care and feeding of Werd" document to refer to frenquently. List on it things that make you become irrational and angry.

2.) Apologize until you're red in the face. Be naked and slathered in body oil.

3.) Apologize. Strip naked. Make him a dinner, put the channel on Monday Night Football. Serve him cold beer and freshen up his nuts (both beer and otherwise) every so often.

This is pretty dramatic girl.

Here's the skinny on men:
1.) A gift means he loves you. You're required to keep it, but not required to use/wear it.

2.) Saying "Nothing's wrong", almost always means nothing is wrong.

3.) Sometimes sex is about stress relief, if it is don't expect kisses and cuddles.

4.) Looking at a hottie doesn't mean we're cheaters. It just means she's a hottie.

5.) We don't go on dates just to score, but it would be nice if we got some.

6.) Kissing is intimate, please have a clean mouth.

7.) Yes, we turn out underwear inside out to get one more day out of it. Deal.

8.) Helping out around the house is mandatory for both of us, but it doesn't come natural to men so ask for help if we're sitting on the couch wearing nothing but inside-out underwear.

9.) Don't mock our sports channel and our video games and we won't mock your TLC and Dirty Dancing DVD.

10.) Don't expect us to watch TLC and we won't expect you to watch The Speed Network.

You should teach a course on this stuff!
