Colombian wife forgets my birthday and our anniversary date!

Paisa/Calena/Luver says on Apr 3, 2009, 08:06:

Find what you are looking for and have them conform to YOU, not the other way around or you will never be happy!

"PAY ATTENTION! I wonder if that person knows that when we push the FUNNY button, its because we are reading something outrageous, trying to be cynical, derogatory, sarcastic and/or obnoxious!"

never have more true words been said.... In life a man must ask him self 2 questions

1. Where am I going?
2. Who will go with me?

Get the order of these questions wrong and you are in a world of hurt

Just a reminder, "You Chose Her!'' it's not like you found her in a crackerjack. Don't take it as a put down, I'm simply reminding people that they should take the time to get to know the person before they jump on the marriage wagon. A lot of people take longer choosing the right car for them. I doubt if she was the perfect woman and then all of sudden she became sloppy, unorganized and careless.

Behind every successful man, there's a nagging woman

ok, sanandressi.....think that hurts? check this. about 5 or six years into our marriage, it's my birthday--again--and i said to my wife, 'ya know, honey, you never said happy birthday to me, ever'....

she just looked at me and said.....'i'm not interested in your birthday' and continued what she was doing.

it's a colombian thing? dunno. i think the kids have got her outta that nasty habit, but i'll tell you, it sure was wierd and sure did suck.

as for your old lady......what to do? well, i'd say smack her up aside the head, but that wouldn't have any more effect than it would with mine, so, nix that. or, you could say, 'heh, fuck you too'....nah! that didn't work with mine either. so it gets down to ....you're on your own brother. i hope you have better luck than me....now twenty years later.

It's the same with any female. The male is ALWAYS wrong. You can NEVER forget a birthday. Anniversary. Valentine;s Day, etc. but they can forget yours and it is no big deal.

On the road again....

heh....i caved in twenty years ago and said no more divorces after 7 of em. this one...regardless the problems, wierdnesses, or whatever, was for good. fuck birthdays. no card, no 'happy birthday' (unless the kids make her) and i haven't heard a word about anniversary since i was married. sooooooooo. back to you sanandressi.....if you haven't killed or beaten her....just tell her it's not important and get on to something more important...like a possible girlfriend.

wow, dwmte, that is harsh!

"The male is ALWAYS wrong."
no, i disagree. if you go about things with enough reason and understanding, you can win over any side. you just have to read the other person, and know how to make them fold.

frank knows a guy who knows his women.....i never lasted long enough to get to know them...they always caught me in bed with someone else. divorce court was like a second home. i'll bet i spent a quarter million of them ole wrinkled twentys there. fricken attorneys and mad women.

man in red....common,,,,don't wax philosophic now....a woman is right even when proven wrong. no exceptions. if they catch you under the sheets with their best friend, it's tough to lie your way out.

oh, gail....i think by now i'm finally stepping outta the root chakra...although it's still a bit shakey. a woody just ain't got no conscience.

"if they catch you under the sheets with their best friend, it's tough to lie your way out."

Ok dwmte, but you gotta admit, that's a pretty extreme example! If I ever bedded a gal of mine's best friend and my gal walked in on me, I'd probably be instantly killed, or close to it. I stand by what I said when it comes to everyday differences and mistakes though, even cultural misunderstandings. I've gotten myself outta a lot of pretty sticky situations with the right words ;)

Ok where are all the people that were critical of me in my post? They should be supporting sanandressi. Or is it different when the woman forgets :) And of course I got the Anniversary is not as important as the birthday line from my wife so you supposedly should not worry about the anniversary.

salsaqueen76 says on Apr 5, 2009, 04:59:

Gee, I thought it was gender one-sided, the forgetting part. My Colombian husband of 6 years doesn't remember squat, B-days anniversary, christmas gifts, and I am soooooo detail-oriented. I think it is more cultural, not to make a deal of certain holidays. But we live in the U.S. so I says to him, 'when in Rome.....'. So now I send myself flowers and gifts, knowing he will make a futile attempt to cook and we will be dining out anyways. At the end of the day, you ask yourself if that person does things to make you happy, to make you feel loved. Hopefully things work out for ya.

Who cares what she remembers as long as the panties are dropping at your command?

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

And Now Folks, four(4)comments in one'

1.Salsaqueen76 and Sanandressi. I bet he/she rembers the date he/she got his/her greencard... Ha..Ha:Ha

2. Sanadressi' ' You didn´t know she was unorganized and eneducated before you married her?That describes half the women in Colombia, Why do you think they are so eager to Marry Guys like you and me and half the other guys on the site. Sounds like you didn´t spend enough time getting to know her. before marrying her. Sounds like a Piss'poor reason to divorce her. Divorce her and go back and get another mail order bride and try again. What are you trying to do, beat DWMTE´´s record?

2.Paisa/Calena/Luver.Quote'Find what you are looking for and have them conform to YOU, not the other way around or you will never be happy' If they don´t want to conform to your ways it will be hard for them fake it(It´s hard to change a persons basic make up, and make them love you, in efffect), ,so its time to move on.

3. DWMTE7' I have a question for you. If you have say $50,000 invested in a house or apartement in Colombia, and the rest overseas significant) , if you get divorced without kids, how much are you liable for in caes A You bought before the marriage, case B, after the marrriage. What happens if you refuse to pay or show up at court? Can they throw you in jail or ban you from entering Colombia? My girlfriend´s cousin said you can get by paying a couple grand, and forget about it.

in the states ken, i can talk at length about divorce and property separation issues....in colombia, i can't. sorry. as i understand, in colombia, the only property divisible, is that bought after marriage and it's 50/50.. i have an old friend in medallo, an attorney and if you need help and speak spanish, he's an excellent recommendation. too, his brother is a judge.

as far as beating my divorce record....i must say, without humor, and in all honesty. nobody should set out to do that. i was an unscrupulous, unfaithful prick.....what record is that to break?

Thanks, I don´t deal with lawyers, and don´t believe pre'nups are worth the paper they are written on.

If I ever get in that situation, I´pay up or cross Colombia off my list.

I was just stupid enough to get married once in Canada never again.

There are other reasons besides being unfaitful for getting a divorce, the most prominent being, marrying the wrong person in the first place.

Sounds like youwere pretty self' destructive in your marriages. Never heard of the 500 mile rule?

Unfaithfullness only exists within a 500 mile raduis from home. Not that I believe in it, but if you wanted your marrriages to last longer, could of done that instead of screwing your wifes best friend.

Women screwing thier best friend's husband?Sounds like you picked s lot of your brides in the trailer park.
