Saturday
7pm
Wife (Hair done, makeup on, all dressed up): I’m bored, let’s go out.
Husband: No, I’m tired, I roofed all day. Let’s just watch a movie tonight.
Wife (Sighing and grabbing a book): Okay, fine.
8pm
Wife (Husband is out cold on the couch snoring like a chain saw.): Son, I’m going to take a bath, keep an eye on your sister. Dad is sleeping on the couch, as if you can’t hear him.
10pm
Husband (just waking up from a three hour nap on the couch): Oh, I must have fallen asleep.
Wife (Comfy in her jammies, fresh from a long hot bath): You think? So what’s new?
10:30pm
Wife: I’m about ready for bed, how about you?
Husband (Still in a prone position, never having gotten off the couch): No, I’m wide awake, why don’t we go out for a while?
Wife (Muttering under her breath): When I wanted to go out earlier he was too tired?

Wow – it’s like you were in my house!
Glad I’m not alone then! It just seems like we are never on the same page at the same time…
Thanks for stopping by!
Crazy isn’t it? Well I guess that is the beauty of marriage, don’t you think?
It is when you marry someone whom is the total opposite of you, as my husband and I are. You’d think I’d be used to it by now though… Thanks for stopping by!
Too funny. My situation isn’t like that, but I know of lots that are. Mine is walking. I work on my feet, average somewhere around 7 miles most work days…some higher. Legs, feet, back are tired when I come home. Hubby an accountant, let’;s go for a walk. NO! I don’t think so. I work part time so he thinks it’s a play job.

Men… they never seem to take us as seriously as they should. Thanks for stopping by!
Reminds me of good friends of ours….well minus the whole husband wakes up and wants to go out part…my wife and I did get a good laugh out of the story though. Thanks for sharing!
Glad someone found some humor in it!
Thanks for stopping by!
My wife’s too much of a planner for us to have this issue. Going out is always discussed well in advanced. Although I guess that’s because we have to arrange a sitter.

I’d prefer to be that way, but with both of our schedules, it’s hard to plan anything… We’re finally at that stage where we’ve got a built in sitter (our fourteen year old son). Thanks for stopping by!
I’m doing my rounds and just wanted to pop by and thank you for commenting at my blog last month. I appreciate your input.
Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
I can’t imagine going out at 10:30pm. I am usually fast asleep by that time. My husband would know better than to ask if I wanted to go out at that hour.
Anne´s last blog ..We Are Settling Into Our New Home
My hubby thinks that’s a perfectly acceptable time of night to be going out. According to him, no one really shows up at the bars around here until at least 11pm. I think that may have been true – when we were in our twenties – but he seems to forget that we’re now in our mid-thirties… Thanks for stopping by!
Can’t help but laugh at this story.
I think this is what divorce lawyers call as ‘irreconcilable differences.’
LOL! Seriously, that reason has to die someday.
Probably… But luckily it hasn’t gone that far with us yet. We knew we were opposite when we got married.
