Do you view this as selfish?
So H is joining the AF reserves and will do like 6 week training here and another training in Wichita Falls TX. Granted he will be gone for at least another 8 weeks at this time I'm due. So we were talking about and he makes the statment 'Well if I'm in TX I can go to a Cowboys game'. I said 'you're joking right?' in a pretty shittay tone. He was like "OMG" Nevermind" Whatever" like I'm the unreasonable one.
First of all, the AF reserves is not a FULL TIME JOB yes he will get paid as long as he is in training and for his 1weekend/2 weeks. Secondly, I already told him due to our situation (freaking out of work/unstable jobs/having another kid ) I really don't think going to a professional football game should be a priority. I know the ticket is only like $80 but come the freak on dude. I think it's very selfish of him. Flame me if you want for this statement but his only childness is showing through.
Re: Do you view this as selfish?
I am on both of your sides - I definitely see your point but...Texas Stadium is pretty cool.
With that being said, and I am not trying to get in the middle of this but I have quite a few contacts down there and can get him comped tickets.
So that's something to think about.
wow pinkkitty (sorry I still see you as that!) that is soooooo nice of you!! He would probably tell me to hit you up :0) I told him that we will just wait and see how life is like right then. He agreed. I know how my tone came off to him which probably added fuel to something that shouldn't have been a fire. Thanks for the levelheaded responses...God knows I would have been all tude-y towards him if I had gotten 'oh no he didn't!?!'
I'd feel your pain - H hates the Cowboys and won't go to any of their games (Redskins fan), but he loves going to OSU and Texas games. I think he's going to one while he's finishing tech school...he hasn't quite told me yet.
I think it's a little selfish to want to go, especially given the situation. Hopefully, he can see it from your perspective and think twice before he goes...unless he gets the comped tickets (even I'm jealous of that!).
I feel for you. I'm the budgeter in our marriage, and I feel like I'm the fun hater because I have to say "uh, no, we don't have the money for that". And DH looks at me like I'm his mother telling him he can't go to a party or something.
Your H was just probably thinking "oh, I'll be in TX, never a better time to go to a game!", and not about your financial situation.
