Tell them I said, "Hi"

[Particle Man]

So my wife's friend is throwing a 40th birthday party for her husband. Both my wife and I were invited, however, we couldn't find a sitter. Since it's her friend, I'm content to stay home and watch our 1 year old. Before she left, she complained about how much she wasn't going to have any fun because I wasn't going to be there. I suggested something she could do to pass the time... she declined. The conversation went something like this:

Her: I really wish you were going to this thing. I only met most of these people one time 10 years ago so I won't have anyone to talk to.

Me: So tell them I said, "Hi."

Her: *confused look* Why would I do that? I didn't even know you 10 years ago so they'd certainly have no clue who you are...

Me: Exactly. Let them wonder. If my not being there is going to fuck up your time, it might as well tarnish their time as well since they'll be spending at least some of the brain power that they'd otherwise have directed at having fun to trying to figure out who the hell I even am and why I'd be saying "hi" to them. That, and you'd get some pretty priceless reactions at which to laugh. At the very least, you can tell me what happened.

Her: I can't do that! What if they get annoyed?

Me: Well, at least you'd be talking to people...

Her: Nevermind. *sigh* I'm wearing all brown... does this red jacket look ok with brown?

Me: Why not? Red is just a really bright brown anyway.

Her: You're an idiot.

Some people have no sense of humor.

Ulu refuses to go anywhere or do anything. So I end up either sitting at home or going by myself. I've learned to have fun on my own.

Just curious...but do you EVER say anything positive about your wife?

If not, why the fuck do you stick around? Just get a divorce and be done with it....

That would be too easy. People stay together for the most effed up reasons.

Perhaps you now have some insight as to why HH started the thread about guys not getting it right.
