NWQOTD***Aug 12***

Happy Friday ladies...I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend....

DH and I had a small argument in the morning but by the time we got home from work we were fine again, so that leads to todays question.

Pick one area of your marriage where you think you have problems. Describe what is wrong and what each of you has done to solve it.

For me:
Dh is quick sometimes to tell me 'no' to certain things. However, he will never say 'no' to others, or sometimes it takes a lot from him to say no. So sometimes I feel like people try to take advantage of him. He sometimes dosent seem to get the point and leads to small fights.

FH will get up my a$$ about staying on a budget, then he walks in with Chipotle after I made food for him....so frustrating

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

I agree with you... Sometimes I wish I was just DH's friend cause he would treat me so differently.

The only thing we ever argue about are our finances. It's annoying. DH is under the assumption that our accounts are infinite.

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

DH get's a little self-centered. He says stupid things about other people like his crap don't stink, and I've asked him several times to stop it.

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

he can get really angry, very easily. Especially over minor things. Luckily he gets over it just as fast, but sometimes I sit there and wondering *** just happened. I swear he's bipolar!

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

We both bring our stress from work home. WHICH I HATE TO DO - but I am guilty. DH is always on the road and works very long hours - I on the other hand have a 3 hour commute every day and have to listen to lawyers whine all day. We both try not to bring it home - but sometimes we do.

We both try to warn each other of a bad day before we get home so the other can try to turn the bad day into a great night. I always find a drink is the way to wash away the days stress. <3

GREAT QUESTION CAT!!!

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

We're too lazy...we get in the same routines and never get things accomplished. We've been saying for months that we're going to finish our thank yous, come up a budget so we can start saving, plan a trip next summer to England/France, clean out the back room, clean out the basement...and the list goes on.

But all we do is sit our badonkadonks on the comfy couch and watch tv. It's something we really need to work on!

OMG THIS EXACTLY.

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

DH and I have different ways of getting things done - it can be anything from cleaning the fridge to throwing out the garbage.
Maybe since we a re still so newlywed, its something we have to work on, so i don't stress over it. but whenever i do something, he will be like, you could do it this way. i know i can, but i like doing it my way and it still gets done. neithe rone of us get frustrated but it gets annoying when he keeps telling me to do it a different way.

OMG THIS TOO!!! HAHAHAHA

I hate the 'you could do it this way' comments!!

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

I tend to get stressed out over the little things and DH is very carefree so we run into trouble when I think something's a big deal and he doesn't understand why I'm stressing out.

So we're working on getting on the same page, where he understands where I'm coming from and then I have to start realizing that a lot of the things that get me overwhelmed really aren't a big deal after all.

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

I always get the 'you should have done this' or you should have done it this way...

But I didn't so be quiet!

Ditto for us too. Whenever we have a little 'extra' money- DH feels like it's his duty to spend it. It pi$$es me off to no end.
Though he has gotten MUCH better from when I first met him.

Re: NWQOTD***Aug 12***

dh is so laid back that nothing every seems to be all that important and everything is always 'its okay' even if you just busted your a$$ to do a ton of stuff for his birthday and got him everything he wanted then ask how was it his answer will be ' ahh its okay'. Makes me want to punch him sometimes.

Same exact for us. We are trying to save for a house. I feel guilty if I buy lunch at work instead of bringing. Then DH goes and buys a freaking kayak last week really?!?!
