Has your significant other ever put their foot down?

My wife just did this and said no more fish until I completely give up smoking cigarettes. While I have decreased to under 10 a day, she still wants it at 0. Guess we're about to find out how bad I want more fish lol, she's using me wanting a few more wrasses to her advantage hahaha.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

 

[melypr1985]

since my husband smokes more than I do, I will probably never have this experience. lol Take up vaping. it's not the same, but I actually enjoy it on occasion.

Nope. How about no more shoes and purses until you get more fish? Lol

When my wife told me to stop impersonating a flamingo, I had to put my foot down

Were you doing it right? It requires a certain finesse

My wife always tells what corals to get, sometimes if it's an awesome coral she wins, but sometimes she don't. Lol but happy wife happy life

Yes my husband does every time ups or fedex shows up at our house, and then I point to the garage where all his "toys" are.

Every time i upgrade or buy something my wife gets mad. I just ordered $250 worth of stuff and got in trouble lol. Im having a red slim algae problem so i got some stuff to help.

 

[vertigo01]

Can't say that she has, especially since she has her own tank to maintain and stock.

 

[reef_grrrl]

My husband just rolls his eyes when I bring home new stuff... "I picked these from a local guy who's moving and needed it all gone! I swear!"

 

[jdpeters]

started a new relationship recently, she knows how important this hobby is to me. guess time will tell if I will ever reach that crossroad

For 30+ years I smoked a pack sometimes two packs a day. It's good your wife is putting their foot down. But, nothing is going to work until you make the decision to be smoke free.

After trying many different things, promising many times and given many ultimatums, I finally made it my choice and quit cold turkey. I will be smoke free three years this Aug 1.

Stay strong!!!

Is she your wife or your mother. Man up, quit if you want to or don't. There may consequences like her leaving or worse, but own your decisions. But using your hobby to control you is no way to live.

Or maybe on the day that Glen Fry died, the Eagles said it best "a woman can't take you anywhere you don't already know how go."

Well my girl put her foot down she wanted a clown fish and a nem I said no nems. Now I have 2 nems and 3 clown fish she must have jedi mind powers because somehow not only did she get me to agree to them but to also pay for them lol.

It's funny, I've flown R/C Helicopters my whole life to the tune of 2500.00 each. I figured, let me take a break and get back into fish like I did years ago and give the credit card time to cool off.
Guess what, doing a reef the right way, I'm flying again lol
Ain't no cheaper.

As I always say " You can't put a price tag on a good time" !!!

 

[fishroomlady]

that is so true! I love bringing home a new critter - I'm almost giddy sometimes lol

 

[High Plains Reefer]

yea she did when the credit card bill came I still spend money but its cash that I earn doing my own thing plus we almost have the cards paid off so its game on
