undue suffering due to fishy habits!!

angel101 · 10-02-2001, 08:31 AM

we need to spend more time with our partners and not our fish.!! I dont know what has come over me, refusing to change dirty nappies and help my wife wash dishes but i am going to make a more guided effort, after there only fish and she does cook well and know where the knives are kept!!

I am a HUSBAND.
Not a FISHADDICT!!

ok its his wife!! you got me!!

Tell him to get off the net , his youngest is now 2 and the lawn is 4 ft high.

organicreefer · 10-02-2001, 08:44 AM

you sound like my EX- girlfreind

angel101 · 10-02-2001, 08:52 AM

dont laugh maybe it is!!!!!!

angel101 · 10-02-2001, 08:55 AM

Free fish to anyone that can get my husband off this site for longer than an hour!!

It's a hard one but surely someone can do it!!!! I have a yellow tang and a damsel with pretty yellow bits and a lovely slimy baby poo green coral!! OOOOOOH come on guys someone must be interested!!

lol

organicreefer · 10-02-2001, 09:08 AM

lol, save the lovely slimy baby poo green coral for me

he could be doing worse things...........
and this hobby does REQUIRE alot of reading,if you want to be successful,and when youre forking out this kind of cash for an aquarium,you dont want to screw up.
not saying hes not having fun ,but it is the truth.

maybe this will get him to spend more time with his 2 year old:if you dont ,he's gonna end up just like youre wife

I have threatened my wife that if she continues this I will make her pat my old pork fish and so she has retreated to the bedroom. I win again! Wooohahahha!

organicreefer · 10-02-2001, 09:26 AM

well until they start holding out

angel101 · 10-02-2001, 09:28 AM

I have bought a cat to help mind your fish, its coming next week and your pillow and blankets are on the couch. SWEET DREAMS DARLING

Reinhold · 10-02-2001, 12:37 PM

I just don't get it!

Like I told my wife just before she left me, "Be glad I'm not having an affair with another woman."

She muttered something like, "At least having an affair is somewhat NORMAL. The way you gaze at your Bubble Coral is scarey."

PS: My cat loves the reef tank, and sleeping on the couch has allowed me to spend more time looking at the corals at night.

thezookeeper · 10-02-2001, 12:50 PM

ROFLMAO all of you!!!!

Don't feel bad angel....it's the same way for a woman reefer like myself. If only Robert could read this! (Of course I cannot let that happen...tee hee...)

Aragorn · 10-02-2001, 11:25 PM

Solution?
Just "win them over"! I have 2 tanks and so does my wife now

Currently working on the tanks for my boy's.

saltjunkie · 10-03-2001, 10:09 AM

Naaa, winning them over isnt good either! Then you have to share the monies. You gotta do it like this....
Make her feel like your tank is important to her also, my girl friend loves buying my things for my tank, it makes her feel good to see me happy!!!

Firefish · 10-03-2001, 02:28 PM

Ya, I got my wife her "special" tank so she would stop bit$&ing about mine....and now she wants my rock and corals, OMG...what have I done

angel101 · 10-04-2001, 08:33 AM

I buy most of his corals and fish. And I clean the gunk off we he convienantly forgets. I chase up sylvania lighting about latest products and deal with moron suppliers of fish and coral (no names mentioned). I love his tank especially the flame angel and yellow tang. It is great fun at times to watch, we had corals spawn last year and this year two lots of babies from our clowns. BUT I MISS MY HUSBAND when all I see is his butt crack peeking out of his jeans as he examines the latest poo on the bottom of the tank.

I am going to try buy lingere with fish on it but he might make me take it off so he can sleep with it, or worse still give me a running lecture on marine fish.......
Hey I know I could put my photo on the back panel of the glass!!

Hmmmmmm thats bound to cause some kind of brain impulse!!!

nucleuscracker · 10-04-2001, 08:39 AM

my addiction started because MY WIFE wanted a tank. She took care of our first tank for about the first 10 minutes ( if you count helping setting it on top of the stand..:LOL: )

Now I am the one with the "bug" and she can't stand the tanks "the fish are beautiful" .....

When its water changing time she goes to her sisters house

organicreefer · 10-04-2001, 09:03 AM

MY NAME IS PATRICK,AND IM A REEFAHOLIC

this hobby needs a surgeon generals warning:has been shown to cause neglect in other fascets of life.

Reinhold · 10-04-2001, 09:55 AM

My former wife tried the fish lingerie thing, but it was so distracting...the top had incompatible fish and the thong had soft corals in a Caribbean scene. I was incredulous!
