Wrong thread. Think you meant to post in this one:

When did you know it was time for a divorce?

+1, I'm so grateful my husband is handy and can fix our fridge, dishwasher and washer. Next time you go out to dinner, treat him.

THIS is cute.

Omg, if this post had said "my husband" instead of my boyfriend, you know the responses would have been all focused on him either cheating or being gay for his decline of her offer OR the responses from married men would have been "I wish my wife would offer that when I help around the house".

Who cares.

Op glad your dishwasher is fixed.

Next topic!

Wives offer up their thanks for husbands services all the time. There is nothing wrong with it.

You know, it is OK for a man to turn down sex every now and again. Don't take it personal OP. Don't look to create a fire where there is no smoke.

She didn't put a dollar amount on his services--she out "payment" in quotes like I just did. And then she said ANYTHING in caps.

He saved me probably $250.

After he did this, I asked him what I could give him as "payment" I was ready to treat him in anyway he wanted, ANYTHING.

His response was, no thanks.


1. Work on your communication skills - he obviously didn't pick up the message!
2. He had another "dishwasher" to service.
3. Next time call Maytag - it will cost you $250 but they will service you.
