LP, I get the same vibe about AK's husband. He seems, in a lot of her posts, to build himself up by putting her down in some way. That's the impression I get, but of course the only thing I have to go on is her posts.
I think AK's husband is a lot like Jessjos husband. (do people here nowdays even know who jessjo is?) He's been firmly established as a douche in peoples minds, so *everything* he does is going to seem douchy, whether it actually is or not.
Is that how you spell "douchy?"

It is FFF, and I flamed people who knock AK about her H.
But if we're going the route of flaming for spousal actions and choices, I flame the ladies who think a good marriage is one where you can only be serious 100% of the time, and your H can never say anything negative about you, joking or not. Fine if thats your relationship, but that would send me running to the hills after about day 4 probably.

Maybe it's just no longer cool to have a relationship where you can kid and poke fun and be competitive with each other. Yeah, H says and does stuff that other people would find douchey sometimes.

Why would you knowing who she is matter one way or the other? Can only established regulars have opinions? I think if someone talks about their husband a fair deal, then people are allowed to form opinions on said husbands and the stories that are told about them. It always cracks me up when people try to change around the rules or what is and is not acceptable in an FFF, depending on how well liked/established the person being flamed is.
And fischy, I accept your challenge. Although I think we've been saying your name wrong. I believe it is pronounced "goat."
"Whatever East. You're just mad I RSVP'd "lame" to your pre-wedding sleepover."
AK, FWIW - every picture of your husband makes me giggle - he looks like a goofball - just like my H. People who flame him are dummy heads - dummy heads who I am now flaming.

It is FFF, and I flamed people who knock AK about her H.
But if we're going the route of flaming for spousal actions and choices, I flame the ladies who think a good marriage is one where you can only be serious 100% of the time, and your H can never say anything negative about you, joking or not. Fine if thats your relationship, but that would send me running to the hills after about day 4 probably.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : It just bothers me in general when people feel the need to constantly one-up their spouse, or anyone else for that matter. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Like I said, I just think it's really petty and stupid. And after all, this is FFF last time I checked.

yes but its an off-board non-poster flame which is pretty lame. I mean if you want to flame AK for something she did/said go right ahead but I think that pointing to somebody's husband and flaming a relationship is a pretty diick move. I don't even know who you are and you flaming a reg's marriage? Wtf?
Like douchey.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : I flame everyone who flames AK's H. He actually sounds pretty funny and cocky, which I like. And I think their relationship is a lot like mine and H's. So I really don't get why everyone thinks her H is so bad for half the stuff he says.

Maybe it's just no longer cool to have a relationship where you can kid and poke fun and be competitive with each other. Yeah, H says and does stuff that other people would find douchey sometimes. But the point is - I don't. I find it funny and I do give him just as much hell back. I don't really get why people get all up his ass about it either. But whatever. We're all entitled to our opinions.

LKientz (or whatever her SN is) for going on and on for pages about her "intimate" ceremony for 40 people and 150 person reception and how it wouldn't be rude.

We get it. You are going to do whatever you want. Writing pages and pages explaining your decision is unnecessary.

Why would you knowing who she is matter one way or the other? Can only established regulars have opinions? I think if someone talks about their husband a fair deal, then people are allowed to form opinions on said husbands and the stories that are told about them. It always cracks me up when people try to change around the rules or what is and is not acceptable in an FFF, depending on how well liked/established the person being flamed is.
And fischy, I accept your challenge. Although I think we've been saying your name wrong. I believe it is pronounced "goat."
"Whatever East. You're just mad I RSVP'd "lame" to your pre-wedding sleepover."
Wedding stuff.
FWIW - every picture of your husband makes me giggle - he looks like a goofball - just like my H. People who flame him are dummy heads - dummy heads who I am now flaming.
And you have a new job - so that's awesome.

thanks. I don't see the big deal.
personally, I'd prefer to hang out with a couple who jokes around with each other than a boring "we're so goddamn perfect and sickening" couple. the former is usually funnier. the latter is just...gross.
