What are the promises your husband can't keep?

[yaskulet]

Pag married na kami, aking akin na ang time and attention nya. Apparently, NOT. To think 2 weeks married pa lang kami. I am really trying my best to understand, pero issue na to way way way back. Oh well, I will just wait and see.

[mitchymumay]

are there husbands here reading this?

also are we wives too demanding ba? the reason why we say just to pacify us is agree and promise on something but ended up on not keeping them.

hmmm wondering... ;-)

[ldrwifey]

that he will quit smoking... hanggang ngayon nag aantay pa rin ako

[lonelymiss28]

hay naku nakakatawa promises nya...he promise to say NO, if may nag request sa kanya to do something...he is a YES man, lahat yes kahit kanino yes....sabi ko matuto kang mag NO naman kahit minsan.

That might actually be the reason why. The ugly truth. It's just so hard for us wives to accept it because we tend to hold on to their word, hoping they would follow through with their promises. They might not have meant it, but for us, its an assurance.

Same dilemma here, Sis. He wasn't the chain-smoker type, but he might be getting there. We've had a couple of fights about it before until I no longer hope for it. I just wish he'd stop smoking since I get allergic to cigarette smoke.

my husband and i were married on december 28, 2003. because i have asthma, he promised me and my parents that he would quit smoking in january. it's been almost 8 years and he hasn't quit. hindi naman daw kasi niya sinabi kung anong year. 

same problem too, Sis. Hahahah! He keeps saying the same thing. But whenever I see a pack, I'd throw it, so what he does is he hides it from me na. tsk tsk.

-he promise to clean all the dishes na ginamit nya sa pagluluto, wala sa ending ako p din. kung sana simpleng hugas lang gagawn ko. eh kada gamit nya ng kitchen parang winasiwas lahat hehe.
-he promise not to irritate me, ayun hobby n nya yata inisin ako, paglalambing lang daw nya un. sarap upakan minsan 

[hedonista]

Hindi na sya bibili ng expensive stuffs like shoes and shirt na overpriced. LOL

That he will make me his priority, over his work.

He is unable to consistently fulfill this.

However, I have come full circle and I no longer demand that he fulfill that promise a hundred peercent.  Why? I have also realized that he does have his own ambitions about doing great in his work, not to mention his being able to impress his parents never mind that one of them who was the more "demanding" on him has already passed away years and uears ago without even giving any form of affirmation. I used to tell him that I per ceive his parents as the kind who will never affirm him no matter his achievements, but I have stopped telling him that now, since he does know.  I have also stopped telling him not to set too high a bar for himself that could make him so didsgruntled about what he actually could do, since i have realized that no matter what I say it will eventually be up to him.  It is sufficient that for a time I had attempted to light a candle and help him see, in the dark where he used to be.

Am i sore that he is not consistent about making me his priority, over his work?  Of course I am!  But i am able to decide to forgive, and understand.

I would rather that my competition is his work, than having another female be my competition.  We have had such issues decades before, and it drove the both of us to hell.

[flusterose]

^ LOL hubby naman sa starcraft addict. Hinayaan ko na lang at least nasa bahay at di gumagala sa labas. Pinabayaan ko na lang binigyan ko na lang sya ng curfew hanggang 9pm lang dapat at dapat by that time katabi ko na sya sa kama or else! hehe LOL

[kettlekorn28]

- that he will be frugal. hay, masyado magastos lalo na sa mga things ng paparating namin na baby. i mean, meron naman na mura pero matibay. pero gusto nya yung bongga. hay!

- That he will come on time. Lagi na lang late!

- That he won’t take calls from work pag kasama nya ako. Eh weekends na nga lang kami magkasama tapos tawag pa ng tawag yung mga tao nya. Para bang di sila makadesisyon ng tama pag wala si hubby. Kaimbyerna!

[Dacian]

- na huwag nang maging reklamador.

[beatrize zuri]

lagi kong nadadaanan tong thread na to, pano isip ako ng isip kung ano bang mga promises niya na di natutupad and hanggang ngayon wala pa din akong maisip, so far wala pa naman, basta give and take lang kami palagi like pag saturday boys night out (mga friends niya) pag sunday family day and sa gabi naman date naming 2, so far hindi pa pumapalya yan    dahil pag pumalya yan grounded siya for the next saturday's night out

@flusterose: buti ka pa sis ang curfew 9pm, ang hubby ko pag weekdays 1am. pag weekends 3am.. minsan pa nga tinatakasan ako, aba nagising ako ng 6:30am, nagpipipindot pa rin.  dun kami madalas mag away, pag hindi niya masunod yung sinasabi niya.
