ARGH! OK, I need opinions please... - Page 11

My wife works for an orthodontist. As with many dental practices, it is mainly a female environment. In this case, between his 2 offices, the only 2 guys who work there are himself and the other orthodontist he employs.

Most of the women in this office are single and frankly, most of them are downright b*tches.

So the doctor (who is LDS) always like to treat his women to something big at the end of the year. Last year, it was take them all to Celine Dion and a REALLY expensive dinner and then give them each about $1000 that they had to spend on themselves at the Forum at Ceasars.

Sounds great...

This year, I find out that he wants to take all of them to New York for a week, all expenses and shows paid.

Wow, sounds like a nice guy...

Wait for it...

Spouses are not allowed.

This is not a selfish why cant I go thing with me. But my wife and I have 2 very youung boys, 1 & 3 years old. I work my ass off running my family business. She and I have wanted to go to New York together for quite a while. Also, lets keep in mind that she does not get along with most of the women in her office.

Not to mention that in my opinion, any big thing like that or employee party should always be spouses invited (since I am an employer myself).

So is it bad of me to be opposed to her going? Am I wrong in thinking, OK, my wife goes to New York without me, somewhere we have wanted to go together, and I have to work my ass off at work, spend a total of 2 hours per day for a week trekking my 2 boys all over town for babysitting, not to mention then having to be the sole provider for them every waking moment during that time while she is having a blast, Without her husband...

serious opinions needed....

I seriously could bunch the shit out of my walls right now.

You told me earlier that it was the bells on his shoes.

Figures........you dont believe in anything unless their is some crazy Euclidean geometry applied with some non trivial topology or entropy thats proves things to increase. However Steven, even though your busy making up your own language while searching for solutions to black holes, one must never easily discard the theory of rainmanianactivity.

Whistling could be considered......selfish.
Speaking of which, was he from Dixie by any chance?

How disappointed will Forrest Gump be, when he hears that his divorce was due to her accusing him at whistling, and realizes that it was her the entire time.

Her you ask? Yes....Forest told me that her attire was a short skirt, with no squirrel covers, and the hill they lived upon, was known for its constant breezes...like blowing over the rim of a large pop bottle forest says.

wooooooooooooo Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After reading through this thread today, I wouldn't have a problem with my wife going. The good doc's family is going to be there as well as her mother. Look at it as a ticket to get away with the boys for taking care of things around the house while she takes off. Do what I do and head out to Alaska for a nice relaxing fishing trip in the future with some friends. If the trust is there, there shouldn't be any issue with the NY trip. There has to be give and take in any relationship in order for it to work out.

As stated before, my wife took off to Barbados two days ago to see her mother and will be gone for 8 days. No biggie, have fun! I have zero problem with it and to be honest, am glad I am not there cooking my nads off in that heat.

I would tell here that you have thought about it and you are fine with her going and that you may be taking a trip in the future with the boys to go fish or whatever floats your boat. If you trust her, there really shouldn't be an issue. If not, there will be more posts in the future such as: "Are there any good lawyers here on the Planet, I need some advise."

I sure hope so Bob, but nothing in stone yet. You two still need to make it out here to Montana as well for a little ATV riding followed up by some downing of tasty beverages.
