To think DP is being unreasonable, and quite frankly, weird?

He won't get married next year because it's 2013. Not because he thinks 13 is unlucky, oh no, it's because he hates odd numbers Hmm so it'll have to be the year after, basically 2 years away!!! He does hate odd numbers, this is true, for example, the volume on the tv will be on 20, never 19 or 21.

Aibu to think this is bloody weird? I'd rather not wait that long :(

So get married before the end of this year?

lisad123 · 08/07/2012 22:55

Well get married this year then

Babylon1 · 08/07/2012 22:56

Are you limited to only 6 months of 2014 as well so there are no odd numbers in the short written date of your wedding day?

TheDetective · 08/07/2012 22:56

I planned to have a baby in 2012, even though it would have made more sense to wait til 2013. I didn't want a baby in an odd numbered year! I also don't wanna wait til 2014.

I am weird. Yes.

Tommy · 08/07/2012 22:56

get married this year? (if you want to marry someone who hates odd numbers....Hmm)

mcmooncup · 08/07/2012 22:56

Is not getting married at all an option? Hmm

squeakytoy · 08/07/2012 22:56

and you really want to marry him??? Grin

I would enrol him in a bit of CBT to get him over these issues first..

Noqontrol · 08/07/2012 22:57

Well, one of my best friends doesn't do odd numbers, at all. Its not weird, well maybe it is, but its just one of those things. I personally would appease him and wait until the year after, or get sorted quick and do it this year.

Booette · 08/07/2012 22:57

Odd numbers are wrong. I was not impressed that 3 of my 5 children were born on odd numbered days of the month! (but so was I and DH!)

Seriously, despite my dislike for odd numbers, it wouldn't put me off getting married in an odd numbered year.

There's still time to get married this year!

Yama · 08/07/2012 22:57

Well, I dislike odd numbers. Volume always has to be on an even number. Always.

I did get married in an odd year though.

Babylon1 · 08/07/2012 22:57

And there are still 5 and a bit months left of this year???

August, October and December would be ok in a short written date!!

If he's that anal about it, go for 12th December 2012??

I'd prefer 10th November 2012 myself!

larks35 · 08/07/2012 22:58

How about the 12th December 2012? He can't argue with the even-ness and symetry of that. Go for that one!

larks35 · 08/07/2012 22:58

Bugger! xpost

BlackholesAndRevelations · 08/07/2012 22:59

I'm the same about the Volume thing! Have to be even numbers Blush

Wouldn't go so far as to not get married in an odd numbered year though!

BlackholesAndRevelations · 08/07/2012 23:00

More x posting!

Yama · 08/07/2012 23:01

Ooh, 12/12/12 would be a brilliant date!

BlackholesAndRevelations · 08/07/2012 23:01

Booette- but you have an odd number of children! Need one more!

WinstonWolf · 08/07/2012 23:03

I don't like odd numbers either Blush

TheCunnyFunt · 08/07/2012 23:03

We can't afford it this year, spent all our money on extending our kitchen, and neither of us really fancy a winter wedding anyway. Or a wet one.

TheCunnyFunt · 08/07/2012 23:04

Although I do agree, 12/12/12 is a brilliant date! Csn't get much more even than that I guess :o

I can't run for the hills, I'd end up with black eyes for one thing, and for a second, I've come to quite like him.

ChaoticismyLife · 08/07/2012 23:13

Tell him that if you add the numbers of 2013 up it comes to an even number Grin

TheCunnyFunt · 08/07/2012 23:17

Ooh it's worth a try that is Chaos, good one! :o
