[quote=Anonymous]My dh would have definitely asked what he could do to help…that’s also kind of his “love language.” (Running out to get me ice cream or flu medication or picking up at airport etc).  That being said ops boyfriend is not necessarily bad but she should ask, gauge his response and be aware of whether they are really long term
Compatible. Is this a guy who will skip when you have a medical problem etc…

On an other note I had to move just a small sparely furnished 2 bedroom apartment recently while DH was out of town. This was Temp housing while our house was being renovated). The job was to pack up the apartment with one truck and another truck was at the storage facility to get all of our things. I had the work estimated ahead of time and was paying hourly/by man. The guys got to the apartment (which literally had a couple beds one couch one table 4 chairs and some boxes) and starting saying it was a “two day job” and acting like there was no way to do it (even though I had a much smaller team in one day pack us up and move us out of the home which takes longer).  He was gearing up to tell me that it was going to be a huge stretch, they didn’t think they could do it, did I realize how much work it is (I’ve moved multiple times so yes) but for a flat fee or something they might just might do it. I calmly told him that if they were not able to do the job as estimated to please leave (I didn’t need to move that day) and I’d call other movers. He backed down real quick.  They finished the job (both trucks) in 4 hours and still had the gall to try to tell me that they did a two day job in 4 hours and I should tip them accordingly.  Not sure if they would have tried that if dh had been there. [/quote]
