Sh!t my husband says

wandajune6 · May 2014

FI keeps saying that he just wants to know when to show up at the wedding and where. It ticks me off. I suspect that it's a bit for show in front of his guy friends. I then remind him that if he doesn't want a say, he loses his say on things I've compromised on. He has a lot of opinions and has done a lot!

oh no not hisgirls minions! what ever shall i do?

I love when people call out HGF's followers. I am surprised HGF even replied after you called her out she rarely ever replies when someone does.

Not sure how long you have been around, but HGF has gotten people banned from here for being "mean" and hurting her feelers.

I'm impressed you think I have that much power! I have a thick enough skin that I have zero fucks to give what people say on an Internet message board think about me -- let alone enough fucks to give to have my feelers hurt.

omg. Seriously, you don't remember that you are biotch that got linger banned.

I don't know who you're talking about, but I'm a moderator on another forum and I will tell you what I always tell them:

They got banned based on their own actions. They made their own choices and now they have to live with them.

By the way, that forum is geared towards 13-16 year olds. So congrats on needing the same advice that I give to them.

I'd suggest not commenting on a situation you don't know anything about. Stage and Linger were banned because Carly decided she didn't want them around (the same week her company published Stage's advice in her magazine). It wasn't something they had a choice about.

Stage and Linger's style of responses were often harsh and aggressive, but it was condoned by TK for years. I eventually dealt with it simply by blocking their posts when I was uncomfortable. They were befriended by KGs, had extensive discussions with them about what was acceptable and what wasn't both in PM and in open forums,were actually asked to troll competitive forums by. They did not violate them. They had a ton of TOS complaints against them and I don't believe any of them even earned them a warning because they were not logical complaints. Not liking someone's response didn't violate the TOS and it was further condoned. They were asked to move to Snarky Brides and they did.

I understand that as a business decision, TK can kick people out for any reason they want if the forums aren't setting the tone they want for the company. But, they did it in a smarmy way and I think they would still be here if they were told they were doing anything unacceptable.

The two of you should be fast friends.

The spelling is still correct. HGF uses UK spelling a lot http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/english/centrepiece

That doesn't make it any less stupid considering she's not British.

Then we'd better call the AMERICAN LANGUAGE POLICE and the waaaaahmbulance before she types anything else incorrectly.

It isn't only the British the spell it that way. Are you going to think it's stupid if Canadians spell words centrepieces, colour, honour, etc because we use British spelling instead of American spellings?

I like that the troll dug up the 10x sugar thread. Dedication to the craft.

J got upset this weekend when we got my cousin's wedding invitation. He's convinced she's copying us because 1) the rehearsal dinner invitation "is exactly the same as our save-the-date" and 2) "they copied everything off our registry!

1) It's not the same. They look similar because they're navy blue with white lettering. Because navy blue is the main wedding color for both weddings. And my cousin picked her colors before we did. And the rehearsal dinner invitation was selected by the groom's parents who've never seen our save-the-date.

2) To be fair, I intentionally sent my cousin our registries because she was having trouble getting started registering. I also sent her a website that I used to figure out which items to register for (e.g. what are the best sheets? What are the best wine glasses?). But the similarities between registries are few and far between--we registered for the same Crate and Barrel plates and bowls ... that are extremely plain white plates and bowls.

Completely off-topic but @phira, can you please send me that website? lol

I think I probably say more things that result in FI rolling her eyes, then she says that cause me to roll my eyes. Though she did once say "Oh, I don't think Fiona would let me go to a club without her" which is so completely untrue. But she didn't want to go to the club and was using me as an excuse. We've both started doing that actually. She won't let me, in our house means "I don't want to go, I'm using you as an excuse, back me up", and we do.

MagicInk said:

I missed the memo where we always have to think our partners are right 100% of the time and never roll our eyes at them.

10 years in July and I can say, there have been a lot of eye rolls.We still love each other. We're just both human and accept the fact that at some point one of us is going to do something that causes the other to roll their eyes and go "Oh you".

Yeah, the "I always have to think you are 100% percent right" thing wasn't in our vows...does that mean our wedding wasn't valid? DO OVER! We do the, "oh you" thing a lot too.

It can actually be a really sweet moment. We love teasing each other like that.

I use to joke around my husband telling him "It was MY wedding and he has no say!"
He would just repeat: "OUR wedding!" and then I would just keep repeating, "Mine, mine, mine, mine!"
Then he would call me a "special raindrop" (he confused raindrop with snowflake)

Fun times!

One time at work, I found a bunch of the little mini Post-It notes and I wrote "mine!" on them and then posted them all over my co-worker's stuff: her desk, her chair, her half-eaten bag of chips.

FI has found a way to turn "manipulative slut" into a term of endearment. When we first started dating his ex wife called me that to FSS and it got back to us. Ever since whenever I do something awesome he teases me that I'm being a manipulative slut for forcing him to be happy, or making him eat yummy food.

I am not into that at all, and if it were me, I would have a super serious discussion with my FI about that shit. Dude could call you damn near anything else and that could be a pet name. But 'manipulative slut', no matter how much sweetness with which it is said, would get a seething angry "Haul right off and fuck yourself" from me.

Yeah, those loaded terms, even as a "joke," are actually very much micro aggressions if not more. I wouldn't put up with it either.

If you can afford to have 10 girls in your party, by all means have 10 girls. Just be prepared for the extra expense. Please don't make anyone a tentative bridesmaid, however. I don't even know how that would work logistically, since dresses usually need to be ordered by a certain date to guarantee that they will arrive on time. It would be awful to have some of your girls order dresses and not even need them. Let them do their own hair and makeup, whatever style they would like, pick a shoe color and a dress (after getting their budgets first), and then all you'll need to do is just pay for gifts and flowers. For some people 10 girls would be overwhelming but if you can handle it, just have all 10 girls. No need to make someone feel less special to you by making them second string.

if you guys are going to say shit at least make it accurate. i asked once if it would be rude because you all were giving me craap about how many girls i wanted. seriously you all should maybe pull your head out of hgf's ass long enough to breathe and actually READ what i posted

It isn't pretentious for someone who is Canadian or British to spell those those words the way they were taught. It IS pretentious for someone American who (as a nation) has their way of spelling it deliberately misspell words. There is no other reason. Frankly as a fellow Canadian I am surprised you are defending that decision.

I think this thread needs a mood lightener. Has anyone here walked a place and spoke in a random British accent? @afox007‌'s slut story had me thinking about that. My friends and I used to walk around speaking with accents and to this day when we are goofing off we still say words like slut, whore, fuck, ect with an accent.

Okay, then define "tentative" for me and how does one move from that state to being an actual bridesmaid? If it's based on someone dropping out or some other contingency, that would be the same as a backup bridesmaid.

10 girls in your party is a lot, and likely a HUGE expense between flowers and gifts, and that was mentioned. In your OP you were having trouble deciding on who to ask to stand up with you. It was recommended that you ask only your nearest and dearest. Then you started talking about tentative bridesmaids.

That's just what I remember. I don't want to go back and read your OP because it hurts my feelings to see the English language butchered to that extent. You might be dyslexic and that gets a pass on a lot of stuff, but what I'm seeing is LAZY typing. "Upseet" "makiung"...spellcheck and autocorrect exist for a reason.

I'll play!

I was always terrible with accents but in high school, we use to go to the nearest international airport and roam around with our terrible accents. We would pretend to be lost or ask silly questions. This was pre-9/11 so we were able to go up to the gates and stores beyond the current checkpoints.

I spell the word color colour sometimes because I think it looks prettier with the U.

I also say bloody hell, knickers, and piss/sod off. Because I like British slang. It sounds fancy.

@HisGirlFriday13 I have actually wondered for awhile if there was a reason you used the European versions over the American versions? Just general curiosity, like did you live there for awhile, was it what you were taught, do you just like the spellings better? I don't really give a shit, I'm just curious.

During our Spice Girl phase you couldn't get me and my BFF's to stop using a British accent. It drove our parents and teacher's crazy. The three of us still pop up with the accent once in awhile.

I also noticed while working in a call center if I am talking to someone with any type of accent I accidentally pick it up. I once had a customer with a heavy Southern accent ask me where in the South I was from; I didn't realize I had the same accent he did for the entire conversation.

Because that's what I was taught growing up. We read British literature and British stories, so I actually didn't know the 'American' spellings of things until I went to elementary school and failed a spelling test on them. Old habits die hard! (And apparently annoy internet trolls.)
