"Why don't you kick in your IQ and use your brain?!!?"
At least he is saying you have an IQ and a brain. He could have told you that you are always an idiot. That your IQ is lower than your shoe size and that you are an airhead. Could be worse. Arguments are never fun though, especially when money is tight.
"Hopefully we will all figure out that once you say something, even if you take it back, it can stick with a person a long time, maybe even the duration of the relationship or marriage."
I know how that feels....
tsof
Well, I'll just tell you how I DID handle it.
I took the dish towel that I had in my hand and flipped it at his face. The man has EXCELLENT self control issues because he did nothing. Just steamed and pretty much got out of the way. We are both 1st borns and have battling that issue for years.
Despite the comment, he really is a keeper. Despite my flipping him with the towel, I think I am a good catch too. Just trouble at times. I'm sure we can all relate to the fact that it's tough to be married and sometimes we just can't stand our spouse. All in all....we've been married almost 16 yrs and have 4 great kids. No cheating, no domestic violence (minus the towel,lol) no alcohol or drug abuse.
Oh, he is a WORKaholic though. Yikes. Drives me bonkers but whatever. We work TOGETHER too and that can be fun. ha
Thanks for your input. Abandoned....you are hillarious!
By the way: The little IQ comment is because I took an IQ test online a while back and my score came back as 152. Funny thing, most people would NEVER mistake me for a genious so we often joke about my IQ kicking in.
It just wasn't the right time and he wasn't joking to be funny this time.
OR, one could just go shop away the pain . . .. . . yes, I know it's very mature . . . go get your hair and nails done, treat yourself out to dinner and a movie, indulge,indulge, indulge . . .. . .give 'em sump'in' to talk about .
I agree!!
When I was married, and we'd get into a fight like that, I'd go to Wal-Mart. He soon learned the faster he came and apologized, the less money I spent. And, it didn't matter WHOSE fault the argument was!!
I love you, onacruse....like a sister
Just save this little gem up for him

"Why don't you kick in your IQ and use your brain?!!?"
I don't know If I understoodbut if and only if "kick in" means also USE (too as a nuance) somehow
My answer would be = why don't YOU kick in your BRAIN to use your IQ because you need the former to use the later ... but I'm not sure you're understand that ... Allo is there something in there? Mayday Mayday ... Mayday Mayday ... Mayday Mayday ... and each time he would talk to me Mayday Mayday ... Mayday Mayday ... Mayday Mayday ... at least 3 times before to ask Are you ready? ... are you ready? ... are you ready?
I LOVE the sperm idea. My husband is the FASTEST guy on the planet. He thinks fast, talks fast, eats fast.....everything is just plain fast.
You know how they say opposites attract? I am....well, not so fast.
I WILL definately use that one on him!
My husband is the FASTEST guy on the planet.
fast.....everything is just plain fast.
He does everything really fast? Really? I would think that would be the bigger issue in this relationship....
