Girlfriend ignored my advice.

Son-in-law wanted to knock out a support beam in their living room to make it a bigger room.
2 story house.

Daughter called me over to look it over and see what I thought before demolition.
It was a long span and I told her to get a carpenter to look it over since I'm not an authority on that kind of project.
I told SIL (42yrs old) the wooden beam he got didn't look strong enough to hold the weight, but he said "But Bill the engineer at Lowe's said it would work"

Just ended a short relationship. First month and a half were phenomenal. She has her own business for last couple of years. She asked me to look at financials. Retired now but used to be a C.P.A.. Said you really want my opinion because I will tell you the truth? Said yes and I told her. She stated since then I am not allowed an opinion and to only support her. Said works for me. Month later she is having more problems with business, I gave her suggestions and was told I don't know her business. 30 years CPA and running companies but what do I know. Bring her lunch and see one of my ideas being implemented. Got tired of moods and broke it off. Good news is after four years of seperation both parties have signed and my divorce will be final this year. Sorry got side tracked there but good luck. People are different when you go from friends to a relationship. All those lil things that were hidden become visible.

Don't sweat the small stuff.
And this is definitely small stuff.

In my house I've learned that speaking my mind often results in a pain in my butt.

I offer suggestions to my wife. I never tell her what to do.

Laid back or 'pinching pennies' is too much work? 50 yrs and she still asks advice from others. Decide who is 'in charge' before it gets more serious.

Be glad you weren't sent out to get the tires replaced.

Women do not ask questions, they seek validation of what they already think.

I agree, but I have noted that this behavior is not exclusive to females.

You ruined the fun with your truth.

The bottom line....it is just a learning experience: She learns about tires (hopefully) and you learn (hopefully) about how the opposite sex thinks.
I've been with the same lady for 47 years and it is still a learning experience; oft times frustrating but never boring.

Have fun with your relationship.

My Wife & I have a Unique Partnership, She listens to me and I listen to her.
Been 36+yrs, We are Stronger then ever.
Stronger together.

I'm sorry for those of you who aren't fortunate enough to find a Real Gem, like I did.

A woman dating a licensed plumber or electrician will trust and do what the minimum wage 17 year old part time employee at Home Depot or Lowes says to do in regards to plumbing or electrical work before asking her boy friend

I think it's some kinda law that states, that any contrary opinion to the significant other must be taken as gospel. Even though I might have read about it, saw it, done it, or otherwise researched the **** out of it!

Give her too much advice you might as well kiss her goodbye.

Oh, I rarely give advice. I'm a tire junkie and if I won the lottery, I would open my own tire store for fun.

I'm an awesome boyfriend. I spoil her, compliment her often, give her space, offer support when needed, and am always polite and respectful. She adores me, as do her parents.

I just really, really like tires and local overpriced shops are a pet peeve of mine, lol.

The real test is to see if you remind her how you were right and she wasn't. I would make sure she doesn't see this thread....that's if you want to keep her.

I've been married almost 43 years to the same woman!What I tell her " If I tell you something you don't like,or makes you mad. It doesn't mean it isn't true!!!!

I was married for 20 years to a red-headed only child princess... I'm used to being ignored. I'll get over this slight, lol. In fact, I'm already over it. Just interesting to see how women can be so different yet still the same.
