My Wife is Upset With Me - Who's Right?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My Wife is Upset With Me - Who's Right?

Posted: 1/13/2006 5:07:34 PM EDT

After having a disturbing dream about the parents of the school my child attends, I came up with a good practical joke to play on my wife. When we were together, this "letter" showed up on our door this evening and she read it first:

Dear Xxxxxx Parent,

You are being contacted, because like many of us, you are a young-vibrant couple with a child who attends Xxxxxx Elementary. As you are aware, the families at Xxxxxx are very close. This helps to make the school a friendly and productive place for our children.

You have been selected to participate in something called the “Xxxxxx Parent’s Club”. Although you may not wish to participate after hearing the facts, you will probably reconsidering once you consider the possible recurring affect it will have on your child, both socially and educationally. We do not like to alienate our children, but parents who do not join will find their children not as accepted as children from parents who belong.

Here are the “rules” of the club. You will bring your partner to a designated home once a month where we all meet. When you walk in the door you will be asked for your male partner’s set of keys. These keys will be placed in a large, glass bowl. After two hours of socializing, the keys will be picked out, one-by-one, by a female club member. The owner of those keys will leave with that female club member. What happens after that is up to them. We always believe in respecting limits and not crossing any lines, but to be blunt, this is about sexual experiences.

The females are to work out any hotel/motel arrangements beforehand. You will be given a list of hotel/motels that have not been chosen by a club member, within a few miles of the airport.

Protection, cleanliness and respecting limits are our rules, so please abide by them.

You will be contacted on Saturday evening about the next meeting.

For our children,
A “Friend”

I came clean a few minutes after she told me to read it. Of course when I was reading it, I acted shocked and could not believe they would do this. I almost went as far to tell her that we have to do it, "for our child", but didn't have the stones.

So, should she be mad at me, or should she laugh with me because it was a pretty damn funny practical joke?

Bad taste and might make her think you are bringing up the lifestyle just to get a reaction.

Had she said "cool" What would you have said next?

While it's funny, it depends on your relationship with your wife and her sense of humor. If she has none, ask the dog to move over.

I believe that there is "Male Humor" and there is "Female Humor".
I think this definitely falls under the category of "Male Humor".

Yeah, i think i would have been a little appalled at that at first, but, I don't think I could have believed it was true. But, when you told me you did it I would think it was funnier than crap then!!! Cute, but not until you tell her. Little creepy before you tell her.+

+1.

However, my wife would have laughed about it and rolled her eyes. They key here, is knowing your mate. I know where the line is. If his wife is angry, then he crossed that line. There's no way in hell I'm going to rationalize a woman's emotions. If she's mad, she has every right to be.

Me? I think it's funny as hell, and I'll probably try the same damn thing when my daughter is in school.

If you have to ask, you're wrong.

Her reaction to this letter will give you a glimpse of the joy/hell that is the rest of your life or how nasty the divorce will be.

Pretty funny

I'd have laughed too.

I have to admit, I thought it was funny. But, I don't have the normal "female" sense of humor.

If your wife thinks you're dropping hints about a lifestyle change, she could see it as a threat to your relationship. Reassurance would be a good thing. Buying your wife flowers is a nice thing to do, even if she's not mad at you.

Perhaps shes disappointed.
Maybe you should be worried....

Had she said "cool" What would you have said next?

Yeah WTF would he have done if she opened the door he unlocked?

I know her well enough where she wouldn't have said "cool", let's do it.

We went to Target and picked-up some Chinese food, so I was not able to respond right away.

A few minutes after I posted she told me that she isn't really mad, just that she feels like a fool when I "get her" like that. I told her the truth, that if she wasn't the coolest woman around I wouldn't do stuff like that. Just that quick and she loved me again...

Don't forget, this is the same woman who built me a reloading bench from scratch, by hand and put it in our bedroom so I didn't have to deal with her woodworking dust out in the garage.

I will still make up for it this weekend, by doing the stuff I normally do, like make her tea when I get up in the morning and little stuff like that.

I'm one of the lucky ones!!

Now, had she really said, "cool, let's try it"... That would have been the biggest backfire of any joke I've ever played!

Sorry, that's the general rule of thumb!! If you question being right, then you're obviously wrong... 'cause when you're right, you know you're right.

In all arguments, you are always wrong... if you don't think so, just ask her.

OK, grovel a little, tell her you're sorry, take her out to dinner, all that stuff.

Funny joke...

Your a dick...

Did I say funny joke? Not cool, but funny.

Disrespect a wonder woman...

I predict in 6 months to a year, you'll be on the site telling everyone how your wife banged some guy from the school and is leaving you.

I've been acting this way since we first met, 5 years ago, so if she was going to do some banging, it would have happened already.

Sorry you're so bitter, personal experience I presume?

My 'wife' never appreciated my quirky sense of humor. Lame-ass.

So she turns around and says "Honey, I have something to tell you."

Now that would have been a good joke!

That joke is a product of a truly demented mind.

Well first off the woman's always right or at least that's what you need to make her feel. I voted #2 but you should still get her something 'cause she ain't got much of a sense of humor IMHO anyway. I think it was funny.

I don't think this is question of right or wrong really it questions one's sense of humor. Once she realized it was a joke, she should have laughed and just shrugged it off. But I have a woman with an awesome sense of humor that gets me and my off the wall sense of humor and she finds this funny so I know I'm not too far off base with this one. Just my 2¢.

Hilarious....actually sounds like something I would have done....

I pull practical jokes on my GF all the time....she only gets mad b/c she realizes how gullible she is sometimes...but then just as quick she's laughing with me.

So since nobody's asked....How hot are the other mothers in the PTA?
