dh is out on the lash with the boys.

I txt him and asked for his card number to buy myself some books for my new job on amazon.
dh 'fine heres the number but dont go mad'
me 'its £50'
dh 'no way'
me 'what about 2 of them'
dh 'ok if youre waiting on the stairs when I come in'
me 'no way im going to bed'
dh 'ok then morning sex'
me 'no i have a spin classs, but i will get the two chepaest and u can have it tomorrow night'
dh 'done'

I'd have spent the £50 and told him he had credit for £30. The other £20 is for packaging time and delivery costs.

'sex for bacon is a very bad low '

a pork for pork. yes, i would agree, that is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Er no watsthestory, he bought me a mini, has supported me through my degree, will be taking all the spending money for holidays, just paid for me and him to go to Italy (child free) and is taking us all to alton towers next week.

So if I just took his card to buy books he probably wouldnt be best pleased, at least this way he feels like he gets something in return instead of a grumpy knackered dw

It was 2 seperate occassions.

I needed a laptop as had started at uni. Then while at uni my car blew up so I needed a new one and as a student couldn't buy one. He'd have got me one anyway.

I'll have to try for a villa next time

norkmaiden · 19/07/2008 22:36

you did a 'deal' for textbooks while he's out p*ing money away?? Not good imo

BetteNoire · 19/07/2008 22:37

You and LEM should write a book together.

You've got the numbers haven't you? Order your books and "make it up to him". Presumably he won't be complaining then afterwards! (Please forgive me if I have done serious damage to the feminist cause)....

juneybean · 19/07/2008 22:47

Maybe cos LEM only held out for £3 ?? ;)

Christ, I missed a trick when I bought DW the new food processor. I could have been well away.

Mind you, she holding out for a bigger house - that should keep me in chandelier-swinging for a while : )

lunavix · 20/07/2008 21:11

lol

I did it for a humphreys corner hot water bottle once, was freezing cold in winter lol and wanted h to go buy me one.

Also BJs for shopping trips to asda lol! I don't drive so a big deal for me.... and it's three counties away!

theressomethingaboutmarie · 21/07/2008 08:45

This is a joke right? Sorry, not trying to be pious but am rather shocked by this. Women don't generally repay financial favours from their husbands with sex do they?

Monkeytrousers · 21/07/2008 08:50

It's not prostetution to be having sex with a man of your choice. End of.

Elasticwoman · 21/07/2008 09:53

MT I note your use of the indefinite article.

OP - save your guilt for when you do something wrong, ie that hurts some one else. I do not think your dh sounded hurt by your attitude, from your version of the conversation.

Get him to the point of no return and then tell him he needs to paint the fence as well as pay for the books. Might as well come out of the deal ahead.

New books and noookie, bargain!

A great nights work!!! lol

Monkeytrousers · 21/07/2008 17:05

I don't think LEM's thread pales IMO.

It's only suggested in this thread - Lem's was much more explicit, and for a macdonalds too!

cocolepew · 21/07/2008 17:10

I'm at this thread.

I thought we only did it for shoes.

misdee · 21/07/2008 17:11
