The interwebs are taking control of my husband!!!

The amount of time we spend online has dramatically increased over the years; we have naturally progressed from , email, msn, online games, to blogging and crackbook. The latter two figuring more prominently over the past few years ( ok one hiatus from bloggy land I slipped, just once…) Cub even emails, and plays games online.  We’ve made some great new friends and it has been a fabulous way to stay in touch with friends past. What I did not know, was how important a role Facebook and the friends we have on there have become to my husband. They have become an invaluable resource for all of his deep  soulful  conversations regarding what used to be a very personal discussion between us…..Fashion.

Just the other weekend, I showed him a picture of a shirt that I think he would look good in- or at the very least I would like him to try it on. 

His response- we’ll see… Conversation dropped! ( WTH????? We’ll see what??  See  if hell freezes over? If we can afford for you to get new clothes?  What we’ll see) We didn’t discuss this particular shirt for a couple of days, quite honestly, I forgot all about it, by the time I saw his Facebook post regarding said shirt. He posted it, and asked if he could wear this shirt!

**A meager 21…21 comments later pertaining whether or not he should/could/want to wear said shirt, ‘WE’ conclude that, no go on the shirt. SERIOUSLY??? Am I not the person who sees you naked? Am I not the person who PHYSICALLY SEES YOU EVERY DAY!!!!  You’d think that my fashion sense would play some sort of role considering - RIIGHT IIIII SEEEE YOOOUUU EVVVERRRYYYY DDDDDAAAAYYYYY!!!....

As is the case, I go into denial straight away: “He must have wanted to know if he could pull it off? Maybe he thinks it’s too young? Maybe he thinks I dress stupid, Maybe he doesn’t actually like my fashion recommendations,  Maybe we should think about marriage counseling for our complete and utter breakdown in communication…. What am I going to do??????  Ok this may be a bit melodramatic- fuck it – it’s my story!

So being the good and most wonderful wife ever. I let it go. I figure he’s looking for a new look. Fine- make your own fashion choices! See if I care!!! So I made not a single comment, nada!

    ( ***You can imagine just how surprised he’s going to be when he reads THIS!! Heeeeee) 

Then the other day, it happened AGAIN! He was telling me about some shoes he found online, that looked so comfortable and “Oh honey, they make them for women too!! I think you will really like them!  I posted them to see what the guys thought of them."

 To be honest, he had me at shoes; until.. he showed me a picture of them:

“GLOVE SHOES??”

“They are for sports, they look really comfortable.”

“What sport would you wear them for exactly? “

“Well, I would wear them around the house- aren’t they cool?”

It was at this point that I too realized the importance of online friends who DON’T have to see him everyday.  While I was busy walking around the house in the Neanderthal man pose, and joking that I would get him a club so that he could go forth and gather in his new glove shoes, his internet friends were much , much nicer.

I however am a bitch!
