sooo now we have fathers day to deal with. my wife called me this morning about it. if it were just a week later, my SIL would have been away to her mother country for the summer. they are much less likely to not come for fathers day for my dad than mother's day for my mom. so unfortunately, i think we will be with them for it unless i think of some genius way around it.

i am generally the one who "plans" everything. when complaing was happening about mothers day, one complaint was that i didnt include her in the planning for mothers day. im not including anyone in the planning, its just a restaurant reservation not a wedding. i asked to make sure the time and place worked (but i texted my brother instead of her) so i think that was enough. now i have to decide if i go back to texting her and not my brother. im not asking for suggestions on a place. maybe if we do it at my house they will be less likely to come.

You are thinking of my wife? I was talking about my "SIL." Her mother country is Croatia. I think she is heading out there around June 26th

What's up with all of the restaurant meals? You and your brother should take him to a strip club.

AH, I thought you meant your wife and her sister. No, Croatia is not part of the USA...so far.

My wife doesn't care. In fact, she and her friends were going out for dinner, and she told me the husbands are going to a strip club and that I should go out with them.

I didn't go, because I'm not really friends with that particular group of husbands, and strip clubs really aren't my thing.

I got over that when mom and my Arabic sister-in-law took me to see female impersonators on my 21st birthday. Mom tipped a couple of guys to dance at our table. Mom? At the end of the evening, everyone in the room sang Happy Birthday to me.

She also told me that when dad stopped noticing attractive women, she'd start planning his funeral. When he very occasionally went out for a couple of drinks with the guys, she didn't ask a lot of questions.

my wife may pretend to not care but im pretty sure she does so i dont try to make it happen. she seems to like it when i go out with my guy friends, im not sure if she would say not to if they were going to a strip club. it doesnt really come up though, i think most feel like me. not much point in seeing naked girls if you cant bang them anyway.

im sure it varies a lot depending on the person. with my dad, it would be weird. i have a friend whose wife caught him looking at a girl in a bikini. i immediately noticed her reaction, thought she actually may have been reacting to me looking at her. didnt talk to her husband for a couple of weeks. some people have a strange belief that after marriage their husbands dont find any other women attractive.
