Jumpah 0 #1 April 10, 2006 My gf isn't a whuffo, but she isn't a skydiver either. That is to say that she understands it but isn't interested herself. She's a fantastic supporter, actually. I've been looking at my DZs calendar and trying to figure out how to tell her about the 4th of July boogie. I want to go all weekend...camp out, bbq, relax. Back the end of last year when her and I got serious I set her expections and told her that this summer I'd be jumping one day each weekend, whatever day was nicest, and the other day would be with her. If we had something important I'd skip jumping all together. A fair balance, we both agreed. But to do this boogie I'd have to have her make an exception to the agreement (I hadn't considered weekend boogies). Not really a big deal (she's quite reasonable), but there is an underlying quid pro quo that would need to be paid back. Balance must be restored. All of you in relationships know this. So last night she says to me that her friend Sarah wanted to know if she could go to Chicago on 4th of July weekend with her and her girlfriends for a girls-only weekend (why are these such momentus occasions?). My gf told her that she had to check with me. And the way she asked me was like she was sorry to have to ask me. So of course I answered that: well, shucks...I think I can find something to do all weekend...you'll have a great time with them and how often does something like this come up, so go...please, and have a great time. So in the end I didn't even need to ask...and the balance is in my favor, at least for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaoskitty 0 #4 April 10, 2006 Why? He wanted her to come to the boogie with him. Just wasn't sure she'd have as good of a time as he would. Now shes got her plans and hes got his plans. He should have just told her up front that it works out great because he really wants to go to this boogie. If she has a problem with him going to have fun while shes doing the same thing without him.. then piss on her! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpah 0 #5 April 10, 2006 Actually all I want is for her to come sometime this summer to see me jump (which she's happy to do). Outside that, its not her scene so it would be hard for both of us And not to worry...I'll confess my ruse over sushi this Wed night Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
