We need a category: the stupid things our significant others do!
Several years ago we purchased a bright yellow life jacket for Greta. It was about $35-40. We put it on her because we felt it would make it easier for her to swim, without putting as much stress on her heart.
Well, we took her to the lake along with our rubber raft. When we packed our stuff to leave I told my bf NOT to put the life jacket in the raft because I could plainly see it was going to fall out without him knowing it. He insisted that this was not the case and picked up the raft single-handedly (my hands were full of dog leashes and other items) and I could see it buckling in half with the potential to send everything overboard as he walked the trail.
When we arrived at our campsite, which was not far away, the life jacket was GONE. We hurriedly retraced our steps, thinking it was so bright that we would see it right away. Unfortunately, someone else saw it first and we never saw it again.
He never purchased a replacement.
I should have tied him to the raft and let it drift out in the middle of Lake Wenatchee....H
a! Ha! Just kidding!
It is definitely frustrating when these things happen, but they are human mistakes...I guess! NOT! LOL.
I've always had this issue with my bf where I will analyze a situation and present all of the warning signs. By darned if EVERY SINGLE TIME I've given adequate warnings he hasn't pursued the opposite of what I deemed obvious and ended up dragging us both into a considerable mess.
If you are like me you become anxious over inconveniences and having to spend money on unnecessary things. I try to accept this as a condition of how I am and not become too excited over it, but that can be difficult, because more often than not I feel that I could never have made such a mistake. I just do not inconvenience myself like that and boy if I did I would be so hard on myself...let me tell you.
