Chicks just don't understand!

[kylehess10]

Whats with chicks these days? When my girlfriend first walked into my room, the very first words that came out of her mouth slowly were....."OH......MY........GOD"..... and now she won't stop bugging me to sell everything so that (what she says) we can "get a house" with all the stuff I have................yeah right ........I told her that my addiction was as much as hers to make-up but she still doesn't get it and wants me to sell every single bit. I told her that when we get a house someday in the future, that I would put all of my stuff in the basement to make a sports room but she said that she'd rather throw everything out. Also, she keeps telling me how dumb I am about this broken bat that I have which someone offered me a few hundred dollars for (which I turned down) and she doesn't understand why I chose a broken bat over $300. Chicks just don't get it!

Re: Chicks just don't understand!

Oh they never get it either. On a daily basis, my GF always pesters me about it and how selling a few items could pay for our vacation (aparently she's not into going to the National in Cleveland as a vacation! I actually try not to discuss the hobby with her anymore as it tends to do more harm than good. In all fairness however, she DID buy me two game worn jerseys for valentines day last year so as I see it, she is only contributing to the madness!!!

Ask her what one of her tubes of lipstick and mascara would fetch on the open market. After all, if you're dating, there shouldn't be any need to smear yourself up with that junk...

At least you're dealing with something tangible though. Given the choice between blowing money on a product that gets used up like a wife or something that remains like gold, silver, or jerseys, what's it going to be?

Kyle:
IIRC, aren't you still in high school? All girlfriend positions should be considered as part-time/temporary until you're at least 25...better yet, 30!
BTW, if she's talking about you two buying a house the first time she sees your room, she isn't looking at you as part time help!

I didn't meet my wife until I was 35, and she was 27. Twelve years later, we're still together, and the founding phrase of our relationship still applies:
OK, whatever! (BTW, she doesn't get the hobby, either...another great reason to maintain separate, as well as joint, accounts!

You gotta cut that one loose brother!

Any woman who can't accept you and your hobbies isn't worth having and will only get worse in time.

Well she told me before that she wanted to marry me in the future and she even told me that she wanted me to propose to her before the end of the year .....even though it won't come THAT quick, I still think she's the "one".

Re: Chicks just don't understand!

Kyle,

For whatever it's worth, here are my two cents, though I am not sure what point I am going to make... it's just a brain-dump.

I am married now for 7 years. I was married once before, also for 7 years. In comparing these last 7 years of my life to the former, there are some glaring differences... and your original post made me think about all of this.

There were several reasons why the first marriage didn't work. For starters, we were pretty much all wrong for one another. Our personalities were like oil and water... but we were young, and in love, and kind of blinded by it all. I'm not saying that getting married young is a bad thing -- it does work for some, but I know I for one was too young to handle the complicated issues of marriage, and if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would have waited another few years until I was ready. Would I have made the same mistake? Maybe, maybe not... but at least I would have been more mentally prepared. The next thing that relates to this thread was how resentful she was of my hobbies and interests.
If she wasn't a part of it, it was a bad thing in her mind... and continuously discouraged me from participating... whether it be my sports, my collecting, etc.

My wife, on the other hand, is always encouraging. I do admit that I have a lot of personal interests, probably too many for a family guy, but I do what I do out of either love for the hobby or talent for the game. Notably, she is the reason why I am bowling an extra night a week this year (fyi, I am a top local bowler though I probably never mentioned it here), why I own specific jerseys in my collection (despite my own hemming & hawing over them), and has spent several nights helping me map out my sports room. I know that her "encouragement" for me to participate more in my hobbies in the end means less time for "us" but I think she gets genuine enjoyment out of helping me fulfill a passion of mine (or two). Though, even she has her limits -- she absolutely despises my rainbow Astros jerseys, my yellow & brown Padres throwbacks, my gold Pirates jerseys, and anything I own that's orange (2003 Mets BP, 1987 Orioles alternate, 1982 Giants alternate, etc)!!! I suppose that everyone out there must have their breaking point.

Re: Chicks just don't understand!

Kyle,

Here is my two cents worth thake for what it is worth. It sounds like you are in love with this young lady and all you can see hearts. You are young and you have your whole life ahead of you so choose wisely in the paths you choose. But 1st finish high school then go to college or if college is not for you and it is not for everyone go to trade school and learn a trade. It seems to me that you are good with your hands and with computers. You have a world of possiblities ahead of you just be careful and don't put any road blocks in front of you.
There is my 2cents for you take it for what it is worth. One last question is she a Braves fan??
