Oldest lad of BF wanted to speak to him last night.  I suggested that they use my lounge as it will be private and the other kids won't be a distraction.  So I trundle up stairs.  An hour later, all was very quiet down stairs.  He had only buggered off back to his place.  No "Just nipping next door" or "Won't be long, Ros" NOTHING.  I went down stairs and there was noone about.  So went next door and said that it would have been nice if he told me that they had gone.  Now am I over reacting or what.  Or is he so much a man that he can't think of two things at once.  He was very apologetic and realised that he should have said something.  I don't mind them using my house for private discussions but a bit of courtesy please.  What do you guys think??  Ros

Did you ASK him to tell you when he was leaving? No? Your fault then for not making the required standards clear enough.

He is an academic and we all know how brain dead they can be!!

ALL MEN (no matter how smart they are) just don't think like women 
Even a direct request can easily be forgotten -
For example I left the house at 12noon today, asked OH before I went if he could drill holes in a slate sign and coat it with lacquer. He had NOTHING else to do, apart from collect the kids at 3pm. I arrive home at 4.30pm to find that the sign is still in the same place - untouched
Kids haven't done homework, tea's not done - "but I hoovered and washed the dishes" (all 3 cups in the sink !) Where's the reasoning - I ask you ? It's no wonder I'm going grey

If your boyfriend didn't have you around, who would he have to tell him he's wrong all the time. He might have blissfully gone through life unaware of his many deficiencies.......

Maybe men have a different set of manners to us girls. We have good manners and theirs are non existent!!!!

Similar things have happened to me..I think women usually have to think about others feelings all the time, children, partner, parents etc. Men I think can only do 1 thought at a time!!!!! I have a few examples this weekend!!! a few weeks ago my partner asked where the drill etc was, I told him exactly where everything was and he got them all out without much help from me only to leave them all over the house...I left them for a while but when I cam to want to use the drill the key had gone missing!!!! I am always returning things to their home and he is always leaving them all over the place, I went around the empty rooms before the guests arrived and each had different parts of cables and Ariel's..I put them all in a pile on top of his work clothing so he finds a home for them but they are still where I put them!! The best one was I decided to put the Cd's we had both used, back in with the other Cd's, My OH had to move as the storage was next to his chair...the next night he asked where a certain CD was, I told him, in the box, I put it there last night and he moaned and moaned and moaned that it was NOT there...I looked and got it out instantly!!!!! I wondered where he thought I had put it, the rest of the house is the B&B so I do not wounder around dropping our stuff everywhere!!!!! Men!! love um to bits...anyway, it's all a ploy to make us women think they are useless without them....It's working

He he he, At least i've got an excuse. I had a serious head injury about ten years ago in a motorcycle crash, and my head is like a sieve ever since. Spare a thought for my poor, long suffering wife !!

Funny thing is, even boy and girl children and boy and girl animals are soo different. Now I do understand that "dose my bum look big in this" scenareo...I think about asking my OH anything like that question as he either say's "you look beautiful" when I have just got out of bed and look a cross between Frank Bruno after a fight and Joe Brand, then he will sometimes be a bit too honest when I think I look nice and say something bad!!!! Yes, you men cannot win!!!

(He) say's "you look beautiful" when I have just got out of bed and look a cross between Frank Bruno after a fight and Joe Brand

Then, my dear, he truly loves you! Never underestimate how attractive you ladies look in the morning, even with the disheveled hair and furry teeth.....we can see beyond it!
