Default Do you and your spouse fight over the aquarium?

Is the money, attention, etc. related to the aquarium causing a little tension at home?

Default Re: Do you and your spouse fight over the aquarium?

specially since im deployed. i call her back home and ask "hows the tank?" then i ask how she is! lol. but its frustrating cause she is really letting it fall apart, and i got so much work cut out for me when i get back, but it will be relaxing so it will be a nice break from what ive been doing. But anyways yea. we fight alot.

We don't really fight, but the subject comes up occasionally. How much are these fish costing! But then she looks at the tank and has to say hello to each and everyone of the fishes!

Bruce:
Since the poll says spouse, singles by definition don't need to respond. Unless you fight with yourself! Although I suppose a girl/boyfriend could get mad if you gave her/him a cube of brine shrimp instead of shrimp cocktail

Bruce, I just looked at my post from last night. I apologize if I offended. Sometimes, especially late at night, I don't reread before I click submit.

That's the thing that is bad about email and face-to-face, the meaning is sometimes lost.

Mike

Im happily divorced also. Now that I am by myself with my money things are much better. No more handing over all my cash and getting 20 bucks a week to spend only to see new jewelry and new sets of nails and new clothes after every paycheck.

Wow... I just realized I am still bitter.....oh well I have my new fish to keep me happy for now. hehehehehe
