7/24 HOWTO: Buddy is having bachelor party in Las Vegas, need to
tell/ask girlfriend about it. How to ask to get ok for LV trip?
What are things to look out for? any gotchas? thx
\_ you've already passed the gotcha point...cue bdg.
\_ Are you actually giving her veto rights over this?
\_ If she doesn't trust you/you aren't trustworthy, you've got problems.
\_ If she doesn't trust you/you aren't trustworthy, you've got
problems.
\_ Go to vegas. If she objects, dump her and move on. Old
jungle saying: There are plenty of fish in the sea.
\_ Another old jungle saying: And you don't understand why no one
wants to marry you?
\_ Another old jungle saying: And you don't understand why no
one wants to marry you?
\_ When they start talking marriage, I start walking.
I'm not stupid enough to get married, esp. not in
a community property state.
\_ You're a real catch. With an attitude like yours, the
only way someone's going to want to marry you is for
your money, so in your case your strategy is sound.
\_ Do you have anything to offer besides money? If not,
then you're doing yourself and some woman a favor.
\_ Real answer: tell her your friend is having a party and you plan
to go. If she freaks you need to seriously consider the trust
problems in your relationship. If you're a cheating scumbag with
a bad history then tough shit. If she has no reason to not trust
you then you're dating a psycho and should think about moving on.
No need to hide this, bully her, take a macho attitude about it,
etc.
\_ Okay, I mentioned it to her and she says "Go". Now what?
What does this mean? I asked "You sure?" and she replies "It's
fine. Go ahead". Then I asked her "Do you want to go too?" And
she replied "What would I do? I guess I could go gamble while
you are out..." Did I do this right? What do you think?
\_ Are you happy? Is she happy? Are you going to Vegas? Is she
*not* fucking someone else while you're gone? If the answer
to all these questions is "yes!" then you did it right.
\_ one of these days your girlfriend's going to learn how to read
the motd...in fact, if you could get here to join the CSUA
she could read your post and respond and you'll know exactly
what's going on.
\_ So she is into gambling? May want to think about how you are
going to pay off her gambling debts when she blames her habit
on you during the divorce hearing.
\_ Yer dumb.
\_ You did fine. Go to Las Vegas, have a good time, don't do
anything dumb, and remember to take your gf out to a show and
dinner. |
