Husband Fail Friday

It’s Friday! Time for another Husband Fail Friday!

This is your opportunity to share silly stories of how your husband pretty much failed you this past week!

Or, if you want to be honest (Mr. Husband) then go ahead and admit what you did and how it was so lame of you to do whatever you did before your wife shows up and does it for you!

Of course, this is a fun and silly activity, so don’t be too serious…

Me first:

This week I squashed my wife’s dream before I even let her finish. I think this is typically a really stupid idea and that I should never do it again because she didn’t like me for a long time.

  1. I've not seen this before – what an awful site. Why would you want to encourage women to say bad things about their husbands?

  2. Last night after taking over the evening routine with our 4.5yo, 2yo, and 6mo while Annette went to the grocery store, she said, "It was hard, wasn't it."

    I said, "No, not really."

    What I SHOULD have said was, "Yes, it was very difficult. I don't know how you do it. Fortunately, the children were in unusually compliant states of mind only for the anticipation that you would be home soon and bring joy back into their lives. Therefore, no tragedy bestruck that would have compromised my ability to keep them safe and sound apart from your help."

  3. Possible Friday Failure:
    My wife is getting "her hair did" this afternoon. Repeat after me:

    I MUST NOTICE AND COMMENT (favorably).
    I MUST NOTICE AND COMMENT (favorably).
    I MUST NOTICE AND COMMENT (favorably).

  4. Best fail was our wedding day. I didn't open the car door or help her in (inspite of the big dress.) Now the wedding was in the south and on the video you can actually hear people gasp (and audibly complain) about my ineptitude.

      • At least he's admitting it now! I think it's pretty good that he hasn't topped that in 12 years of marriage!

        • Ok, more recent fail. I forgot to tell my wife that I was going out of town for work. I really thought I had. Childcare was arranged. In-laws knew I was going, etc. But my wife didn't know until I was packing the night before. What was my overly intelligent response?

          "If you were on twitter you would have know. I have been talking about it for a week there."

          Not my best move. But for Christmas she joined twitter to prevent such future occurings.

  5. neglecting to plan for her birthday until the last minute…Sharon puts stuff to halt for our birthdays…over the years i've set up reminders everywhere…her birthday occurs on Labor Day when we are broke.

  6. How about sacrifing your own dreams for your wife's sake, which then takes your passion for life direction down a serious notch which then impacts her perceptions of life and where both of you are capable of going?

  7. well it is my daughters 3rd birthday today and my wife's in-law's are coming out for the weekend. I am anticipating massive husband fail, but i'll be workin real hard not to say or do anything to stupid. Hopefully you won't be hearing back from me next Friday, haha

  8. earlier this week

    wife: " I feel fat!"

    me: "Why? when did you start feeling fat?"

    wife "this morning!"

    me: (pointing to a pic from 7 yrs ago) "see here, you look exactly the same"

    wife: "DAVID, I was 10 lbs lighter then!"

    me: "Babe you were a D1 scholarship athlete then, of course you've "changed"

    wife: "SO YOU DO THINK I' VE "CHANGED & GOT FAT!"

    me: (realizing I shoulda complimented her but still trying to save it)
    "No? that's not what I meant?!?.. (just tell her she's GORGEOUS)

    me: "Babe your Go..

    wife: (cuts me off) "Why can't you just tell me I'm gorgeous!"

    FAIL.
