Well everyone, after LBing my heart out I got the money my WH promised me - and the roses back. They look a little worse than they did 3 days ago.

He did deduct the $40.00 for the roses, which seems fair to me.

Why doesn't he deduct whatevery you gave him, which means add more to the money you asked for?

Good to hear that believer.

I have not sleep a wink...i took sick leave today...i feel horrible...

Maybe you have not read it yet...read my latest fall in tinman's Plan B read...you wont believe it...now i need advice from you

zizzy - I'll go read it. Like I'm the one to give you advice.

believer:

Hm... ...okay now. Either stay dark, or keep giving him back those roses!

Wonder how they'll look in 6 months?

2long - You are hilarious. That is too funny! Those roses have been passed around like a hot potato.

Believer, 2long's idea is so good. Every round you pass the roses, you get $1000. Way to go!

lostnhurt - That was pretty good money!!! But I am going to go back dark. I am tired of all the uproar.

Believer, good for you. Whatever you decide, I believe it is the best for you.

lostnhurt - I'm going back to my old boring self. Back dark and to Plan Me. I'm still glad I finally stood up for myself.

BEL,

I don't understand his need to deduct for the roses.
Hope you don't get the bill for all the gifts he gives to you (sheesh). What you do with a gift after you get it is your business.

He should be thanking you.
Wasn't it because of your out of the box thinking, that HE got Double the use and double the benefit out of these flowers?

Besides you were HELPING his pocketbook by not having to have him spend twice.
What kind of gratitude is this for him to now Charge YOU?

He got to get Roses for his W and mistress and ends up paying nothing. Sounds like a bargin. Is he Always this cheap?

Don't see their problem.
They BOTH expect you to share your H, so this seems like a natural progression of their warped thinking.

Also You were also helping the planet. We ALL need to be encouraged to recycle.

WHY did the OP give them to your H? They were a gift.
Doesn't she like roses?

Believer...this is way up there with the WS in the tent...honest to God..just shows the mentality of our WS's...we play the mother role and they the 16 year old rebellious children... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I love Top Rope's comment about your "out of the box thinking that the roses got double use."

Cracks me up on so many different levels.

Those poor roses are probably looking a little tattered and battered and scattered.

Have you put them out of their misery yet? How do they play into Plan Me?

Lots of love to you, Believer! I'm so glad we all crack each other up still. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

ss- I am still laughing about it, and the people here make it funnier and funnier. I'm glad you are posting, our real MB success story. I was just telling someone here about the now famous sushi lunch. The man had just gone to dinner and WW asked for a divorce.

Yep, never give up hope, they all say the same things, and they usually come around.

Your WH is being awefully stubborn, but I have faith he will. I believe your's is having a combination A/MLC. Have you read many books on MLC?

I actually bought a book called, "How to Survive your Husband's MLC" even though I think my H is a little too young. I think my H had a bit of that going on as well, though. They even have a support website.

Keep chuckling and laughing and loving and living. You are an inspiration to us all, girl!

ss- I will check it out.

my H will be 34 next month and i do think he is having a MLC/A and the people who i give some details to say the same thing. those poor roses <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> the whole idea of subtracting the money for the roses is ridiculous. hang in there believer! prayers to you.

rr- Thankfully, I have been here so long that I have quickly gotten over this latest episode. I am still laughing about it. And him deducting for the roses just shows how messed up he is. I am going to go back to Plan B.
