I tried everything I could think of to change him. Nothing worked.<br /><br />Every now and then we'll need something and he'll say, "I think I have that somewhere." Then he goes away for a couple of hours and comes back. Usually with the item. Sometimes not.<br /><br />Fortunately, he's only taken over the garage, his office and the basement. Otherwise, our house is comfortably cluttered and easily picked up.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-56964183583163317972011-09-28T17:46:06.565-04:002011-09-28T17:46:06.565-04:00Your parents probably were married 60 years becaus...Your parents probably were married 60 years because each was still working to perfect the other. Spousal improvement projects take time.<br /><br />It sounds as though you have a wonderful marriage. Few husbands would have dared to publish this post. Or, you are a man of great courage.Dick Kladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793395712483278104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-86035379233432049522011-09-28T17:37:03.338-04:002011-09-28T17:37:03.338-04:00My husband and I are complete opposites.

The only peace I get is when he is sleeping.<br /><br />After 30 years of this, I need a break.<br /><br />I like to save money. He likes to spend. In fact, if he gets any inkling that extra money is coming our way, he's on the internet looking for things to buy. He likes things quiet. I like to scream my head off. (usually at him)<br /><br />My husband can earn a lot of money but once he gets it he doesn't have the slightest clue what to do with it. I on the other hand, have never earned a lot of money BUT give me a dollar and I can turn it into $1.50 and make it last for a few years. I'm a good money manager. I know what to do with money once I get it.<br /><br />Opposites may attract, but right now, I'd like to be with someone exactly like me.

Still, my husband would definitely say I am the messy one because I do not have designated, out-of-sight place to put my handbag each time I come into the house.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-72424944668967472342011-09-28T07:18:35.219-04:002011-09-28T07:18:35.219-04:00Of course you are the saver and the neat one.
Othe...Of <i>course</i> you are <i>the saver</i> and the <i>neat one.</i><br />Otherwise you would never bring up this topic.<br /> ;-PJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.com
