you would THINK my husband would just listen to me.

I'm ALWAYS right, afterall!!!!

I swear, I can tell him until I'm blue in the face something...he doesn't listen or won't agree, but as soon as he hears the exact same thing from a co-worker, friend or relative.....THEN he agrees/believes/whatever.

I was right about the kitchen floors..we are getting a darker shade like I said from the start...what changed his mind..he polled his co-workers and his boss said golden oak shades look like they belong in old people's homes.  (Something I had said TOO...but once his BOSS said it, then its true)

and now I'm right about him going back to college...something I suggested a YEAR ago when he got laid off his job.  He never finished his degree.  I told him to finish it, he argued "no, I have enough experience that getting a degree won't affect my ability to make money."  So I dropped it...and he is makign more money than I am with my degree...so whatever....no biggie.

So what came in the mail last night...info about getting a degree.  I asked what changed his mind "well, one of my co-workers is considering it too."

From now on I am calling up his co-workers or friends and saying "could you tell DH this." because apparently my opinion does not count.

It's almost frustrating....

Am I alone???

Nope, you're not alone.  My H does this to me all the time.

DH does the same thing. I read the NY Times magazine every Sunday, have been for years. Tell DH about the articles.  He heard from his friend that it is great and DH should really read it. Guess who reads it now? I finally called him on it. Butthole.

I am now convinced we have the same husband.

Yea my asshat DH is like that too.

I thought it was only my DH who does that.  Several years ago I kept telling DH he should get a rice cooker.  I guess he wasn't sure but as soon as his sister suggested it he went out and bought one.  It seriously bothered me and he's done it about other things too.  So aggravating.
