I am obsessed with cars, and routinely choose them based on engine performance. MH doesn't get cars at all.
I LOVE CARS! I knew I couldn't be the only woman on MM who likes cars. I don't think anyone even knows what my SN is.
I also don't get women and football and I honestly can't stand it....but I'm sure a lot of women don't understand why I'm into cars. H is also a car enthusiast (we go to the track together when we have time) and he has told me that between cars and sports, he's glad I like cars. I'm pretty sure that's why he married me haha.
I can't imagine not loving football. I actually had a bunch of the 1983 SUPERBOWL WINNING Skins at my baptism. We're a huge sports family. I also helped my dad build a '32 Ford roadster. I love beer and hate wine.
I don't like football - I don't get into all the car stuff. I drive a 350Z, but mostly bc it's just so damn cute. But I do love a good fishing trip. DH never did much fishing before we met, now he's hooked (pun intended)
With that said, a really small part of me (<5%?) will miss all of the attention I get from my boyfriend. That sounds pretty messed up. but he gets me heating pads, makes me tea and rubs my back/feet. when I'm tired at night and I need to lay down, he brings a book into the bedroom to be with me. I know always being the one on the taking end of the relationship wouldn't be healthy for either of us long term, but it sure is comforting in the meantime.
Hah, this reminds me of another flameful that I have. Before we had kids, I was the babied and pampered one in our relationship. Of course now I take a major backseat to the kids (as I should). But sometimes I really, really miss those days when DH used to cater to me and lavished all his attention on me! I did not appreciate it anywhere near enough while I had the chance! lol. Oh my lord, I sound like a man
Many of my friends love football and we talk about it all the time. Ask anyone who follows me on twitter or FB.
WORD.
I grew up watching sports with Mom. Dad had zero interest in watching professional sports, but he'd sometimes keep us company and ask us all kinds of silly questions about what was going on in the game.
Oh, and my flameful. I like laminate countertops in a kitchen. They're inexpensive, hold up reasonably well so long as you don't abuse them, and they come in a billion different colours/tints/patterns/etc.
I think I'd be afraid of really working in a kitchen with an expensive countertop. I'd worry about damaging it all the time!

1- DH lost his wedding band swimming in a river over the summer. We still have not replaced it. Our friends are shocked at my level of trust in him. messenger.msn.com/MMM2006-04-19_17.00/Resou
So wait, they think that because he isn't wearing a ring he's going to cheat? That's so weird.
I'm the oldest, and almost all my friends are oldests or onlys.
This MMM smack talk is stressing me out. It's my haven
Is this flameful? I recently found out that on his most recent business trip, my husband got hit on by some woman. I was around 6 weeks postpartum at that point. I trust him 100%, but it still bothers the CRAP out of me.

Ummm, just a super freaking sweet BMW.
Yeah. I drool every time I see your name because an M6 is one of my dream cars. An ex had a M3 and I stayed with him for an extra few weeks because I loved driving his car so much

It bothers me when women hit on my H when they know he is married (either because they know each other or because of his ring). So I get it!

If it helps any - I've been hit on while away for work. What matters is that I don't invite/encourage it, and don't let it progress beyond that. You trust your husband, this shouldn't be an issue.

justjen, it isn't his fault that he was hit on! I don't know why it would bother you if he didn't act on it. My husband and I both get hit on fairly often. It happens. We aren't going to cheat on each other, so I take him getting hit on as a reminder that I caught a good catch And sometimes people don't notice the ring...
aspentosh I can see that. Related story -- one of my husband's former coworkers used to wear his wedding ring out when he was engaged, because the women who would hit on him/who he could hook up with when he was wearing a ring weren't looking for commitment, and he liked that. messenger.msn.com/MMM2006-04-19_17.00/Resou Amazingly, he's still married like 7 years later.
It is funny about wedding rings. We're not much into the club scene anymore, but we were when we first got married. It was like as soon as the rings went on a switch flipped and instead of me having random guys offering me drinks, it was dh getting constantly flirted with. Even with me Right There a couple times.

That's crappy of him! Does his wife know he did this?
I'm not worried about my H, but it's still frustrating what some women might do with no guilt. It's just... wrong.
The fact it's not his fault and that it still bothers me immensely is what makes it possibly flameful
Apparently she got pretty huffy when he walked away and another person on the trip said to him (and I quote), "are you gay?" Meaning, "Why the hell wouldn't you go for it?"
This is not doing much to fight the stereotype of what happens at national sales meetings.
Dh doesn't wear his ring--he can't for work, and has zero desire to come home and put on jewelry. My aunt once told me she is "appalled let him out of the house like that. "
Flameworthy confession: I desperately want to tell BiL's FI all the horrible things my MiL has done to me in order to ruin their relationship (FSiL and MiL). I'm incredibly jealous that MiL likes FSiL and is happy about their wedding, instead of how she did her best to get DH to call off our wedding. FSiL really has no clue because she only sees the happy and pleasant side of MiL, and I'm afraid FSiL thinks I'm just causing drama.
It sucks doing the mature and responsible thing. I have DH read everything I message to FSiL so that I don't let something slip.
This is me exactly!! Only my SILis gay and I think MIL is only nice to FSIL because she doesn't want to be perceived as being homophobic in any way. ILs basically disowned SIL when she came out, and though that was years ago and they've since reconciled, I still feel like MIL is fake. I know she (MIL) is only nice to me now because otherwise she won't get to see our kid.
The MM Mom board has been making me feel sad lately. SO much baby talk. So I try to go there to read a few updates on the posters that I care about..then I run fast away.
I am sure I would be judged for the massive amount of TV my kid watches. She just really enjoys it (as I did as a kid) so I am not going to be a mean mom and limit it, especially if it's not interfering with her learning.
1 - I stopped wearing my e-ring and wedding band in the summer when I was at my heaviest (they still fit but my fingers were all gross and swollen) and I just haven't gotten back in the habit of wearing them. I still like them and it doesn't change anything, I just like not wearing any rings. DH says he doesn't care, but sometimes I wonder if it does bother him.
2 - I work in college athletics, religiously watch college basketball (no matter the teams playing) and almost didn't stay with DH when we were dating because he didn't watch college basketball. I grew up with all brothers who played football and baseball so I'm a huge sports nut. My dad also officiates college and HS football; HS basketball and coaches HS baseball. I think if I didn't like sports I would have been disowned. Even my mom loves basketball!

Why are you sad? Do you want another baby? Or you miss the baby stage? Sorry if I missed a sad moment for you recently. In which case, I should shut my mouth.

M/C last month. It was a long drawn out ordeal. So I need many months of healing. (mentally mainly) I really want another kid and I feel like my time is running out. Even then I don't want to go through what I went through last time since the likelihood it will happen again is 70%. So reading baby related posts is hard. Plus my toddler isn't even a toddler anymore. She is a threeanger who can make complete sentences and all the baby stuff has ended. Pity party for 1 over here!

Sorry for your loss. I can totally see how all the baby talk makes you feel. I can relate to the time running out part, but not the risks. That must be very hard.
But I am giggling at three-nager. I must use that!

They don't think he's going to cheat, but they think I should think he's going to cheat? I don't know. It's pretty weird, indeed. I originally meant for the confession to be that we haven't replaced the band yet after 5 months, but I guess I was confessing for my friends too. :-P
Yeah. I drool every time I see your name because an M6 is one of my dream cars. An ex had a M3 and I stayed with him for an extra few weeks because I loved driving his car so much
HAHA. I love M3s too! I told H I wanted to replace my Accord with an M3 when the time comes. He thinks I'm nuts since the purpose of my Accord is to save gas so 328i it is.
Is it weird that I get a thrill when H gets hit on? I guess it makes me feel like I have the hot husband that another woman wants. The last time we went to a club was about 4 years ago on Halloween. H was Hugh Hefner and I was a bunny. H fell behind from me and a hot girl in a school girl outfit saw H and said "Hey Hugh..." I turned around and she saw me then sheepishly walked away. H was oblivious to all of it haha.
