Partner n' Party

Monk - here is a second situation - it’s getting a little funny

PEOPLE I NEED HELP ON THIS - HONEST OPINION ONLY - PLSSSSS

okay I have bugged my hubby last year, and the year before and the year before -

Today he told me about the upcoming party. He asked me if I want to go with him.

BUT SINCE I HAVE LITERALLY BUGGED HIM - now I feel embarrassed to say “yes” I want to go.

I feel that the fun of him asking me has been taken away since I feel that he is asking me just because I have been begging him genuinely!

lol - would you still go now that you know that he is asking you because you have been begging for the past 6 years?

I said NO WAY. I am more dignified then that. :naraz:

go already!!

Its only goning to be good for you. Seeing ppl drurk and getting excited for no reason is going to make you appriciate sanity even more.
I am sure its going to be one time thing. Get it out your system.

Re: Partner n' Party

^lol

Monk: lol - I am still not going. I have asked him one too many times. I just can't go anymore - lol.

However, I have found a new passion to bug him. I have told him to take me to one of the Pakistani concert/shows whatever. I have said it only once. If he takes me then it's all good.

If I have to tell him the second time - then I might just as well buy the tickets and call it all girls night out!

Let him baby-sit kids!

ha ha
you just turned us into your GFs... fine.
We are listening.

not bad idea.. let him baby-sit and you go have fun..
I mean let him have quality time with little ones.. you go girl.
nice work making that deal.

i think you should go

Re: Partner n' Party

Not sure why he would be embarrassed of taking you along. Is he anti-social type who doesn't like to mingle with the crowd? Or is he afraid you will find out something about him from his colleagues.

I don't think there is anything big here. He is just not sure how your getting to know his coworkers and them finding out more about you would turn out. Have you ever been to his work social events?

Re: Partner n' Party

My mother does not go to my dad's office parties. He took her before I was born and some drunk coworker was flirting too much with her. My dad goes alone to them now but if they do a park picnic he'll take all of us. But we know how he is and so we trust him at those parties. I already threatened him that if I ever found out he cheated, I'd injure him an leave him out to die a poor dog's life.

Re: Partner n' Party

any excuse to get out on our own (without the lil one) we'll be up for it.... the hubz has taken me to his office party... i havent ever had one where partner's were allowed...

hmmm i dont understand… id go.. definately go if after all this time he’s finally asked..

No point in having ego issues with the hubz

Re: Partner n’ Party

NJMasti, sweetie, go this time, would ya :emmy: No ego with the hubs.

He probably didn’t feel comfortable taking you because of people drinking and dancing and thought maybe you wouldn’t like it and then judge him for going there…that’s the best I could come up with :bummer:

Re: Partner n' Party

NJMasti, you should go. See his expression when you tell him you are going. Regardless, you should go.

Reasons for not taking wives to work party maybe:

1- Wife too good looking. Man possessive.

2- Wife unable to carry on the conversation. Or he is afraid of her acting something silly there.

3- Man wants to check out or flirt other women freely.

4- Kids at home.

5- Wife may not eat or drink the same thing what is served. Not so strong reason though.

6- He has already told something to people at work something which wife may deny accidentally. In other words he is trying to avoid moment of "Oops!"

Re: Partner n' Party

Get a job. Go to office party. Don't take him. Touche.

Re: Partner n' Party

jaw drops

What happened, cheegum? Are you having a daughter?

ye! that’s would be ideal now… lol

I remember the last time I went to my own office party was on a cruise and we were not allowed to bring anyone. It was just the company people.

I think hubz is hung on to that but he is just not telling. :cb:

Re: Partner n’ Party

Nik: it was hard to be “neutral” so I kept the ego… lol - but since everyone is suggesting that it’s okay to go (after umpteen begging) ummmmm then I might go.

I was just worried that to me it’s seems like you are “begging a guy to take you out on a date” :naraz:

  • how desperate! :cb:

but I am - I am desperate - (shhhhhhh!)

I want to go somewhere and he keeps me home safe with kids! not fair!

I don't know the reason he would not take me. He has never given me a reason to feel that he is embarrassed. He actually takes pride in introducing me to his friends if we ever meet by chance.

He is the most social person....

I have been to one event of his - it was "family time" during holiday. He took me and kids - as it was expected for family to be there.

Re: Partner n' Party

I haven't been in this situation so far but after observing desi guys at work, here is my number one observation why this could happen:

Desi guys run into all kinds of people at work, people we interact and joke around with for a good eight hours everyday. This could often include raunchy and risque jokes that desi guys share with the men and women at work. Often times this leads to the guy developing a split personality, one for work and one for home.

The conflict arises when the two worlds collide at the office xmas party and the desi husband doesn't know weather to act all angrez liberal (like he does infront of his office mates) or the holier than thou pavitr husband (like he does infront of his desi wife).

This is the same reason i find it hard to have my friends interact with my parents. Growing up in Karachi ive had to put up one face on the streets of saddar and another face at home.

Re: Partner n' Party

Yep. desi men do exhibit many traits of split personality. Our culture is so fk'ed up it ain't funny.

... u begged him for 6yrs and now u wanna go because he asked u only once??? ... no ego sheegoo with hubby? ..wow.. u girls r toooo good...
