Guest wadsgod Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Tell her she can see her mates anytime, but the L??ds game is in Friday and no other day, so stop being selfish. Stick to your guns and go to the match and offer her a compromise day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I had similar situation when last season for the Wycombe game. It was her birthday - I told her weeks before frosty silence - "you make your choice". I posted on here for advice - best thing someone said - their are millions of women out there - there is only one Sheffield Wednesday. I wouldn't have missed that game for anything (especially for a day tailing round a garden centre) - imagine seeing that on TV when you know you could have been there? Though obviously she hasn't forgotten and actually mentioned it again yesterday - I "ruined" her birthday. You know what will happen if you don't go Bothroyd, Madine and Rodri will all score hat tricks and will will win 9-8 will a last minute goal and go on to win automatic promotion and you will regret it for the rest of your life. I have mentioned the Middlesborough game last match this season day before her birthday - she now claims it is her "birthday weekend". As someone mentioned above I have got the fixtures written on the family calendar and have highlighted the games I am going to. Good luck & get to the match - you are a long time dead.

thailand owl Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Been a bit tricky the start of this season as we have a 8 week old baby and a 2 year old aswell, Been to a couple away games and every home game bar Millwall and Hull. However I've been looking forward to the Leeds game for months and to add fuel my mate is a Leeds fan so bragging rights are up for grabs Now I had to chose my time to tell her I was going Friday night ,so I thought tonight would be good after a glass of wine. "ok to go to Leeds game on Fri babe?" long pause.......... "yeah"......... "well actually I've got plans on Friday and was hoping you could come as I was looking forward to a Friday night out" What she had planned was to go see a few different friends of hers and wanted me to come to help look after the girls!! Anyway big argument starts and she accuses me of not putting her first etc etc. I then went on to explain it's Leeds big game etc etc and any other time apart from this one would have been fine. Que her going to bed with face on and me writing this. Now I know a few lasses come on here so would be good to get both sides, so come on am I out of order?? You actually said to her "ok to go to Leeds game on Fri babe?" That is bang out of order you should have just told her you were going. My views could explain the reason why i dont have a bird.

Guest michael dodds Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Had a mate who met a girl in a bar, it was one of those special bars where beautiful girls adorn you with attention and dance while you sit on your hands. Things got serious and eventually they got married. He had a good job, but she earned a lot also. He tried to get her to stop work a few times before and after they got married. Each time she just replied "I was a lap dancer when you met me, end of..." Point is, you were a wednesdayite when she met you. Buy her some jewellery early this week so when she goes out on Friday to her mates they don't think your a complete ******* and spend the evening planning your John bobbit story. Go to the match though, it's a war of attrition, you can't give ground on things like that. She has the whole off season to plan a social Calendar. Good luck!

Ever the pessimist Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sounds obvious I know, but, babysitter? If only for few hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmanjack Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Being a boring old fart, I'll give a boring old fart's answer. If you're married and have two young kids, you also have a responsibility, and should do your share. Assuming you work, your missus has the kids all day, and most likely all evening as well, and to deny her an evening out with you and them is fairly crap. If you put Sheffield Wednesday (who give you nothing in return for you going to the odd game this season), before your wife and family, it's a pretty sad state of affairs, It's summat you can sort out yourself anyway, without telling all and sundry on here about it.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 My wife is great for this kind if stuff. Never questions a game coming first. Missed a wedding and a friends little girls first birthday already this year. No questions asked. It's about picking your battles though. For example. I deliberately miss some away games when I know I've been to "too many" games of late. I have skillfully told her that I'll only go to Bolton on Boxing Day if her Mum, who lives in St Helens and whom we always visit when I go to North West games, can plan our Christmas dinner with that side of the family around it. This looks generous but guarantees she won't moan at us not being able to do the Christmas meal on Saturday before (when we usually do it) when Wednesday are at home and I already have a Season Ticket for. This way I might get to both games but seem generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I might have read this wrong, but sounds like your wife wants you to go so you can look after the girls? As in, your wife wants to take a 2 year old and and an 8 week old out on a cold Friday night so she can socialise. Like I say I might have misread your post, but sounds like you're not the one who needs to get their priorities right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You've also missed a sitter with this international week. Should have told her Wednesday were at home but you fancied a finally day without even listening to the match. Take her somewhere nice between 3 and 5, check your phone a couple of times and pretend you are checking updates on twitter. Mutter a couple of stock replies she's probably heard from you a million times. (I suggest flipping he'll Wednesday, Why can't we ever beat the first man and Jones out.) She'll be non the wiser.
