My husband is my property and you'd better not borrow him
After all, I married him, he married me, and that is sancrosect beyond any need of any of you for absolutely anything. He is mine mine mine. All his time is mine and I'll only loan him out if the payback is great enough. So don't even ask. Mine. Especially not you man haters that haven't even got the gonads enough to marry one of your own and want to use mine. No way. Mine.

:sarcasm:

5. don't ya ever get tired of him?
honestly - i kept a tight leash on my ex, mainly because i didn't trust him (with good reason).


when we finally broke all the way up - i felt so relieved. and free.

i hadn't realized just how much he got on my nerves.

9. Yes, but putting up with farting and wet towels on the floor is worth it
in case I ever need to move a couch or something. After all, it is nice to have a heavy thing mover around, just in case. That way none of my girlfriends feel put out if I would have to borrow their husband to move my couch. (still:sarcasm:) Otherwise it would be nice to be able to be alone and free.

7. Well, mine can take his job
and his "retirement" to a Bible Belt state and SHOVE IT. After 31 years, I would rather live in POVERTY than live like that.

13. I'll have to ask when he gets home from work, after I cook him dinner and
fetch his slippers. After all, he does work hard and deserves it. My job is just for fun and extra spending money. nice of you to ask.(still:sarcasm:)

17. Yes I saw it
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 05:19 PM by JNelson6563
and this is crap added to crap. How well I remember when GD was for grown-up political talk! *sigh*

Now we have attention-deprived posters who think the world is their lounge. Bummer.

16. You are welcome and thank you for your kind words
I think you missed what this is in response to. You don't need to respond to any message, or even click on it, and thanks for monitoring GD.

22. You know there is this nice little "x" at the end of the thread.
It hides threads that you don't want to see.

24. You think discussing sexual stereotypes and ownership is shit?
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 05:27 PM by uppityperson
Now now, respond nicely if you want to. If you don't want to respond, just don't. Please follow DU rules in responding non-nastily. Thank you.

(edited to add "and ownership" in subject line)

15. I am thinking of starting up "Rent a Husband" for women who need a
little handyman help around the house but are not married for whatever reason.

I can handle tools but not every woman can, so here's a chance to make some money and create some jobs.

What do you think, I think there is a future in this.:shrug:

21. I think it's a great idea.
Especially being a woman, I think women trust other women more than they might trust any random handyman type.

I *adore* my handyman. He rocks infinitely. But it is hard to find a reliable guy that you feel you can trust.

25. They're called a Handyman
and they're a Jack of All Trades. Good for plumbing, carpentry, electrical, painting, you name it. But they're not cheap--usually a set price per project.

As for the Leave My Husband Alone brigade, I always say, if you think you can put up with his crap for the 20+ years we've been married, give it your best shot. Husband's the same way--not a jealous bone in his body. At this point, we both figure it would be too much trouble to break in someone new! He does all the laundry and cleans the bathroom, I do all the yardwork and cooking.
A co-op situation can be pretty handy among friends. My husband may work on someone's computer for them, and their husband may assist with plumbing issues. Everybody wins.

27. You husband sound s like a keeper to me, he cleans the bathroom
and thus laundry. I couldn't get my ex to pick up his sox, we didn't last to long.
