I'm not sure I can follow that one up...hilarious. I do have one thing to add though.

kept 8g for her for when her alltel is up. but now im wanting to sell both and get new one. even told her id sell em then buy new one and she still looked at me like i killed her best pig.

Maybe she's just mad because you promised one for her and now she's not getting it, but you're getting a new one.

GREATEST MOVIE EVER, EVEN BETTER BOOK!

I'm sending my wife to florida with a bunch of other wives in june. one of those "girl's night out" type of things (actually 5 days and 4 nights out). if i can still afford the phone after she gets back, then i get no beef about it. i guess that's IF she comes back.
 
I said to my girlfriend last week:

"I'm going to get a new 3g iphone when it comes out"

her reply:

"No you're not."

so as it transpires I don't actually want a 3g iphone, what I want to do is spend it on shoes and flowers for her instead.

That is exactly why I won't get married, I'm am the boss of my self, If I earn the money, I spend it as I please. Now if you were going to spend her money on it that worked for then that would be different.

I'd get the phone anyways and pic up flowers on the way back:rolleyes:

Do we have the same girlfriend? This sounds awfully familiar :rolleyes:
 
Hahahaha at this thread :D

But seriously, your wife gives you sex, your iPhone wont.

Wife wins.

Unadulterated Bovine Excrement. Lay your compromise on the table up front. If my wife wants to have the pets (though I DESPISE the cats) and the purses, and the jewelry and all the little trinkets, I get to have my gadgets. The day sex becomes a bargaining chip in our house, I'll file the divorce papers myself.
 
Why not buy her and you a brand new one when you sell the other two?
Sounds like a win win there. I myself just bought a 8gb refurb and for right now that is just fine with me.
Eventually I want to move up and hubby won't like it either but :p:rolleyes: who cares. As long as I pay for it out of my own paycheck. ;):D
He paid for this one, I pay for the next one and my DSLR that I want to get.
I love new gadgets. :eek::p

hahaha..."Honey, I just spent $600 on a new phone after I've already spent roughly 1000 on two other models. But here are some flowers?!?" I'm not sure that will fly. :(

Amen. (Although, I must say I will never have cats unless they live outside 24/7 regardless of weather.)

I agree!

Wishful thinking on my part since they're already here... (drat!) But they are getting on in age, and we've agreed that once they have moved on we will not adopt any others (there are 2).
 
Consider yourself lucky she hasn't left yet.

My girlfriend broke up with me because I spoke too much about geeky things like Mac's.... Now I just keep quiet about it unless I talk to people about mac's over the web lol

Macs are not "geeky!" :D
 
I don't have anyone to talk about macs with. I am the only one that I know personally that has one. :(
But as soon as my daughter gets one I will have her. :D

Hubby just goes whatever...
But I am the first one he asks when he has a problem with any computer. Though I am a next to know nothing kind of geek (ok a geek wannabe) ...:eek: but I know more than he does.;)
 
Tonight my wife informed me that if I come home with another 600 dollar phone she will leave me. I did everything I could to convince her. If it was up to her I would be using a zack Morris cell phone. All I can hope for is that the judge is an apple fan.anybody else having trouble convincing the old ball and chain? And any guy that post on here saying "I can't believe you let your wife tell you what to do" has apparently never been married. When I come home with this phone she is gonna s@&t a brick.:D

Pray that the free upgrade rumours are true. That way everyone is happy. No need to mention signing another 18 month contract.

You are obviously lacking in the art of rhetoric.
 
Well thankfully my fiancee just goes "Whatever, thats your thing".

Haha I win! But I admit, she makes up for it whenever we walk by an American Eagle in the mall.
 
Re: Wife is leaving

Be honest with your self ,. Ask your self do i need this or is this another whim, i have been looking at the sixteen gig I phone However i have realized that My mother doesn't think I need a $600+ dollar phone, plus I received this phone exactly nine months after receiving a rather lavish High school Graduation gift(White Thirteen Inch Mac book) , then in November my father purchased me a Hp Pavilion a6230n running vista for my CGS1060c course ( totyaling over 1,200 USD) at the community college. Not to mention the purchase of a full licenses of bot H Windows xP Professional and OS X Leopard totaling somewhere over 550.00 USD. All told my parenmts have spent a grand total of 1,650 USD on my technological habit.
 
Clearly, she doesn't get technolust. Educate her so you can both go broke.
1. Buy her the iPhone. Tell her it makes her look skinny.
2. Buy her the iPhone. Put it in vibrate mode ;)

hahaha. The skinny part is so true. Except she might take that as, "You mean I looked fat before you got this for me?!?! I HATE YOU!"

Anyone else find that the vibrate gets really weak sometimes? I have to restart the phone for it to get back to normal...

My wife had the same story last year, but on iDay she took me to the AT&T store and bought it for me! Now I could make this story less believable by telling you that I set her straight and made her buy it for me, but the truth is she took me to the store and bought it for me and then promptly told me told me to stop all that whining about a d@&% cell phone!

It didn't hurt that it almost fell in line with our anniversary! I hope that it happens the same way this year!:confused::confused::confused:

Oh by the way, did I mention... I REALLY LOVE MY WIFE! :D:D:D and I hope she reads this post!
 
Go watch Fight Club again.

Why do people still reference that horrible movie? Nothing original, clever, or entertaining in the entire thing. It's just rehashed socialistic/anarchistic crap that isn't even particularly well made.

Oh - and get the iphone. If she'd really leave you over it, then you shouldn't be with her anyway. And if she wouldn't leave you, then she'll eventually get over it.
 
Um, you did get my subtext? If you did, gives an entire new meaning to dropped calls. If you didn't, your wife ain't just complaining about your spending habits. :p

hahaha, no I fully understood. :cool:

I was just noting that because you mentioned the vibrate function. Mine goes in and out all the time.

Ok, after just reading what I wrote above. I'm going to stop before I say anything else that can be taken the wrong way...;)
