mnwildpunk Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I just won't have the time to build models much my life is making some changes. My girlfriend has bought a house and she has a honey do list as long as my arm. I'm looking at a ton of work and I'm thankful I paid attention to my pop's when I worked for his drywall business. I'll still pop in from time to time just to see what I'm missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmagiclives Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 A honey do list ??? Come on bro, I've got three kids, work out of town, and so does my wife, which leaves me as mr mom three nights a week, two projects in the garage, a ton of projects in the house. There is always time to put in a little work on some plastic.... You have a counter in your bathroom right !! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I hope your building a place in the house to do some model building. I understand the "list " very well. The sooner the house is done the sooner you can build again. Good luck. But remember..... All work and no play.. you know the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 you will be back to building soon, the list can't last forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Jim Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Girl friend huh? Well, I see your problem. Honey do lists are only for married couples. Tell her that ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 In my book, Honey Do's are far more important than a bunch of silly pieces of plastic.(Still married to the same wonderful woman 42+ years now! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not to seem like a jerk, but I gotta agree with Jim. I'm not saying don't help her out, but "a ton of work"? I think that is pushing the boyfriend envelope. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 you will be back to building soon, the list can't last forever... i take it you've never been married? it will. mnwildpunk, you will need some stress relief at some point, so keep your modelling tools handy.

mnwildpunk Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 She doesn't read this so it's safe here. The ring is already bought and soon under the tree so no she isn't pushing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Don't set a standard that you will have to keep up for the next forty or so years. Take your time and don't finish that honey do list to fast. She very may well expect that kind of dedication forever. Your weekend could end up like this, no watching football, no modeling, no guy things, just matching the paint to the decorative pillows in the bedroom at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Just some advice from one married guy to a about to be married guy. "Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together."

Marcus M. Jones Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 She doesn't read this so it's safe here. The ring is already bought and soon under the tree so no she isn't pushing it the ring is bought and will be under the tree? no..no...NOOOO!... don't do that way!. wrapping an engagement ring up as a gift is just wrong in so many ways. be a man wait in till after all gifts have been opened and then pull the ring out from where ever you have it stashed and ask her. better yet ask her on x-mas eve. just whatever you do don't make it into a gift because that is not what it is.

mnwildpunk Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Oh no ya it's not going to be a gift. I'm going down on one knee the whole bit. It's going to be well after so she doesn't see it coming! I know the answer is yes. Because she has been dropping suttle hints like "when are you going to get off your ___ and marry me. She even has her son asking to marry her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Irwin Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I know a young man that was in your exact situation a few years back. He got HER house into great shape just in time for her new man to walk into a nice place with nothing needed. He had his maxed out Home Depo card to rub salt into that wound.

Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Sometimes life gets in the way of our hobbies. We must prioritize. I havent touched a kit in over a month myself, fall is a busy time when you own property, lots of mulching, gardens to prepeare for winter, etc. At least I've had a bit of onlime model stuff, lol. You are doing the right thing. In time, you can get back to building. I hope to be next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm speaking from over 37 wonderful years of marriage. Even though she may not share in your hobby, if she truly loves you she may even buy you something for it to show her support some day. It's kind of a reward system. Don't give up! You may even find she has an equal hobby like reading or something. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
