Our friends are having their annual holiday party. My wife and I have know the couple for about 3 years now. One of my best friends (whom my wife dislikes) has been invited to the party, also. My wife thinks I should either ask the couple to uninvite my best friend or that I should ask him not to go to the party. I have told her it is not my place to tell someone who they can and cannot invite to a party. Nor, is it my place to tell my friend what he can and cannot do.
My best friend is someone with whom I play ball with every week or two and we will go out to the bars every now-and-then for a few drinks. On a couple of occassions I have gotten too drunk to drive home and my wife has gotten very upset with me. She blames not only me, but my friend for my getting too drunk. This has happened a couple of time in the past 8 months.
Anyway, there had been a friend who pretended like she was thinking for my best interests. But I think she was thinking more about the interest of the guy who she wanted me to date. I was disappointed to see that he wasn’t very intelligent, wasn’t too good looking, and wasn’t very talented either. He was a police officer and I had heard alot of bad things about potential husbands of police officers: they often cheat, they don’t take care of the family properly, they vent their stress from their jobs on their wives, they beat their wives, they suffer from alcoholism, they can’t turn off of “cop mode” when they’re home, etc. The thing is, my friend is a devout christian fanatic who has a messiah complex and she thinks that she is doing the right thing for me. I find myself questioning her motives and her integrity of trustworthiness because the guy who dated me seemed more interested in himself. He had no respect for my future, my goals, and just wanted me to do nothing and be a housewife with kids. I said that I could not do that. He did a background check on me to see how much money I was worth, etc, and I pissed me off. From what I think of, I was guessing that the guy was desperate to have a woman because no woman would go out with him due to his job, and he wanted to find someone who would be a dutiful, servile wife for him and bear him children. And my friend simply set me up with him in order for him to take advantage of me. Wha tod you think?
I have large goals for my future; to graduate from grad school, get a phD from medschool, hav ea nice house and a car, then find an intellectual man with good middleclass background and high education… but my friend just referred me to some kind of college graduate physically fit guy who has nothing in common with me, so I’m questioning her integrity as a person. She seemed like she was more interested in looking out for this guy rather than looking out for my welfare.
She did this to me because she purposely got me into financial debt by maliciously engineering a set of circumstances. If the guy benefits from me, she will benefit from that too.
cars when I was backing out of the driveway? I know its my fault and I shouldn’t drink & drive but they both had their rear ends sticking out way too far.
Jeez, such harsh reactions, I was only moving the car out of someones way, not driving somewhere, her friends, Jim & Kevin know that I hit the cars and I am paying for the damages, but my wife tends to overeact to petty things
Valley friends stay sober by getting hooked on fishing
With a yelp, Vicky Whinnery leaps to her feet and starts yelling. “Hey, hey, hey!” she screams, gripping her newly purchased fishing pole. “What do I do now? Do I have a fish?”

My hubby walks up and announces that his friend is going to stay with us for a while cuz he got kicked out of his other friend’s house for playing peeping tom on her when she was in the shower.I can’t understand why he coddles this lush.He drinks all day,doesn’t work and doesn’t care.What the hell am I supposed to do to get rid of him?
He has some friends who are totally useless, they call him out to drink! there is nothingelse they call him for. I dont like them. they are not even to his standard.
I have tried telling 2 of his friends about what happens when he come home from drinking, they told me- dont worry we wont call him out anymore which lasted for 1 week only and after that they keep calling him out.
I just dont understand why he has to go out and drink with his friends. I have tried to stop him by blackmailing him to choose which he wants.. his wife or alcohol.. but still after few days he is back to drinking.
Can someone tell me some trick that i can use on him.
