Thread: Need Wife Advice, Please Help!

Ok so I have several autographs from my favorite artists most I have gotten in person. I am going to hang them up, but one of them that I am actually hoping to receive via mail from my favorite female artist (Julie Roberts, the country singer, not the actress).

At any rate my wife will let me hang up anything I want BUT a photo of her, my wife thinks I am obsessed with her...and,well I am...but thats besides the point. It would be part of a collection of autographs.

My wife says if I hang it up she will rip it right down...I told her I would never forgive her, I am tempted to just hang it and see if she has the balls to actually do it, knowing how mad I would get.

I even offered to hang them in my office out of site...that didnt work either.


Any preemptive advice or words of wisdom??

First, hide the straights. Your life may be in jeopardy! This is obviously a point of contention with her, and you are feeding the flames, not putting the out. Don't put yourself in a trick sack here. The ultimatum may be choosing between coming home to your wife or coming home to a pic of Julie Roberts.

I know what my preference would be.

All I can say is "Pick your battles". I'd let her win this one. Hang the others...and maybe frame Julie Roberts and put it on your desk. (After all she just doesn't want it hung.) Although if you do that you may still end up with this

She said I could get it, just not hang it up. The problem is my office IS in my house. Either that or I am out in the field, so I have not other office.

i say you put the picture of julia in your wallet in the front where normally the wife/kids go. then she'll know whats up IF she ever sneaks some cash from ya!

I get myself in trouble with my wife all the time for this.. English is a very precise language. Putting the picture in a frame and standing the frame on your desk, endtable, etc... is not hanging it. My wife no longer asks me "Can you do ...." the answer is "Yes" and then I go back to whatever I was doing before she asked.

Seriously, this seems like a tender subject for your wife...I'd probably wait awhile to display this picture in any way, shape or form.

P.S. She is pretty (I'm still hooked on Terry Clark circa 1995). I just can't keep up with the new country singers. I must be getting old.

I'm gonna side with RT. You're already in the red with the razor expenditures. I can understand the razors because you shave with'em every day. But what's the actual use you would get out of a JR autographed pic?

Well its like When I met Toby Keith and he autographed a pic for me...its just really special because I think he is an awesome singer. She is the same...what a great voice!!!

I'm no expert on marital relations but have been married to the same woman for 28 years and my instinct would be to let this go even though she did throw all your razor coffins out.

You or I might have a hard time understanding why a picture could be seen as so offensive or threatening but since it is to her the smart move is to accept it and realize that it's a small matter in the grand scheme of things. Assuming she's not jazzing you on a bunch of other issues too, she'll probably appreciate that you respected her wishes on this. Even if you did hang it up w/o an immediate confrontation it sounds like one of those things that could fester over time and you'd hear about it 5 or 10 years from now.

Just my 2 cents, the advice is worth just that.
