Irritating BS your SO does

She's doing right by bringing my future sugar daddy over to the US on her tab.

Julian -

Does Melissa ever do anything right?

Oh I suppose anything is possible.

[Rebecca Jo 1,962]

Oh I suppose anything is possible.

Oh right. You've disappointed me though. I thought surely you were going to say she was doing right by marrying you.

Well what a lucky girl you are!

Well, one of us is doing right by marrying the other, but I'll have to get back to you on which one.

[MelissaJulian 30]

Well, I like to think we are BOTH doing the right thing by getting married. It's going to be so much more of a change for him than for me, and I think I underestimate how much I will have to get used to doing for us both. It's going to be my job -- literally! After he gets his EAD and is able to go back to work (ooh, that reminds me of another question I need to ask, but I'll start another thread for that), I'll be leaving my job to run the household. He's right about my forgetfulness about utility bills. If I'm going to run the household right and efficiently, I'm going to need to learn how to do this stuff right. And that includes being in charge of the insurance!

Elmcitymaven, I know you're joking. Maybe we can all meet up some time?

I don't really like paying bills either. It's not even the money (well, maybe a little about the money). Those easy pay things really spoil me so that the one or two things that I need to pay every month are really easy to slip under the radar. It doesn't help that they come at different times, so I can't sit down and do all at once.

I made a spreadsheet to help me. Each bank account has it's own tab and made a little side list for each payment that needed to come out of that account. I put the spreadsheed on Google Docs so the hubby and I can access it from anywhere.

That's a great idea Jewel! Thanks for the tip!

[Justine+David 218]

This is minor and will go away very soon since David will be here...but he leaves his Skype on when he's at home all the time so I never know if he's going to be there! It is SO ANNOYING to be hopeful to talk to him and then wonder if I should wait or not...

Most of the time I'll just call him up and tell him to get on I have this great sprint card that I got about 5 years ago that I keep adding monies to that, about $15 for 200 minutes.

Non-irritating, I was in a car accident on Sunday (someone hit me pretty badly) and it really shook me up and the lady is now saying that she didn't hit me at all and then my car was towed the next day for $125 pick-up (had no idea that I was in a wrong spot) and I got pretty depressed. David's in Scotland doing some conservation work and he had them drive him to a village so he could find a pay phone to call me and say that he will come tomorrow if I need him here

Maybe we should start the mushy sister of this topic?

[Fandango 1,439]

I'll chime in here too, even tho I'm no longer a 'part' of the UK forum, heh.

The man doesn't really do anything that annoys me. I'm serious! heh. It's kinda crazy. I think at a stretch, I'd have to say that as far as cell phones, we come from two diametrically opposed places. As I'm a realtor, my phone is practically glued to me. He will often forget his at home. I go to call him, and his phone starts ringing on the counter, hehehehe.

As to the Porche couple....thank you for the most entertainment in this forum for a while now. I think tho, what ppl take issue with is your manner, Julian. I'm sure, as a person of supposed privilege, your family taught you the art of subtlety and discretion? Bragging is not an attractive thing, and many times, to a mixed crowd, certainly one with strangers, your 'cheeky style' comes across as arrogance and sanctimony. I don't care how much money you have, that's great that you're a trust fund baby....but the manner in which you talk about your fiancee in most (not all) of your posts, how you talk to other posters here, and the US actually, comes across as quite condescending. I'm sure you'd like to feel maligned because we're all just plebs who are jealous of your riches, but I can assure you that you're missing the point. You may assume that, but you won't know for sure, because no one else has been so open with their personal situations as you have.

When you wrote 'key word being little money' in another thread as to what your fiancee had, my stomach churned.

I'm glad that you found someone who is happy with you and who can be bought off with trinkets and jewelry as means of apology. You are very lucky, because I'd hazard a guess that most women would tell you to stuff your baubles up your backside, if it meant belittling her so publicly with her faults. You talk about her as if she's a child needing to be controlled...and she accepts it as well.

Which makes me sad, but hey, if it works for the two of you, then that's great...seems like a match made in Heaven. Congrats you two!

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Well what a lucky girl you are!

I know! I feel giddy at the thought of diving into a swimming pool of fine jewels, as has been promised.

Elmcitymaven, I know you're joking. Maybe we can all meet up some time?

Only if Julian's paying. Seriously, PM your details and maybe we can arrange something.

I got a card for $10 that has 1000 minutes and the connection is very clear. You do have to call a land line for that rate.

My husband does this as well During the week it's not really an issue, due to the eight hour time difference and the fact he's at work so I know he's not actually there...but during the weekends I'll think he's at home when he's not...

Speaking of which, isn't Skype great lol?

Ditto... I thought it was quite telling too that she reacted with a blush and giggle, like a little girl that had spent her pocket money on too many sweeties.

[MelissaJulian 30]

I'm aware that my fiance and I have very different levels of income and it's our little joke that I am a pauper. (Although in reality I'm earning a pretty okay salary for what I do.) Maybe it's not clear that it was a joke. I feel a little hurt that everyone seems to think that J is holding this over me when it's totally not the case.
