Shopping?

Isn’t it funny how in a marriage that if the man wants to purchase something the couple does not have the money, but if the woman wants it, they can purchase it? That men do not want their woman to change and the woman wants her husband to change? When I first got with my wife, I wore trendy cloths like Abercrombie and Fitch and I had ear rings as well. My wife hated the cloths and earrings and slowly but surely she got me to change to more "age appropriate" clothing…Dockers and Polo shirts.

We went cloths shopping or my daughter several weeks ago and went into the old stores that I used to shop at and I said I wanted to get some of the clothing and to start to dress trendier. She laughed and said that I was old enough to be some of the people’s father that worked in the store. I felt insulted! I feel like I am still "young" and people guess me for my late 20s. She said that Mark dresses nicely and I said that he dresses trendier than I do; she disagreed with me. Mark is a doctor and we ride mountain bikes together all the time. She asked me if I was having a "mid-life crisis" and I plainly said no.

So, needless to say, I lost that battle. I do dress nice; I just want to dress like a young kid again sometimes. My daughter is like go ahead and get some of the clothes and put your earrings back in! My wife will have none of that…

I love my wife for being herself and for putting up with all my crap...
