I posed a question to all male contacts on whatsapp to get a feel for how Married Men in general THINK.
This was my Post:
"Every monday morning after my Physiotherapy session I buy three lottery tickets to be drawn on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am very keen to win; but the night before the draw I am hoping I do not win because I won't be able to stop my wife from going on a mad spending spree. I'd love to give all the money away to those in need. Law says I have to split the Lotto win 50/50 but she wants the lot to spend though :-(
What would you call me ? Mental ?? Oxy Moron ? Confucius?
You tell me if there is a more appropriate word for this kind of state of mind.🙄🙄🙄😕🙃🙃🤣🤣
Responses:
1 - Forget finding the right word and focus on getting the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Don't deprive your wife of the ecstasy of going on a shopping spree with the funds from the lottery prize. Just sit back and relax and be a partner in her joy and merriment. Take solace in the phrase EASY COME, EASY GO. I am sure she will buy something for U2 which you always wanted. Wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise?
2 - Narcissism with a dusting of self-destruction ( Just Kidding)
3 - If by spending, your wife is happy what more you want. It is not your hard earned money. Try to make her happier. Pray for lottery win. Once a lottery winner always a lottery winner. First win money to your wife. Get her blessings. Next win money to give others who need it. She is always interested in making you happy.Best of luck. Think of me when you are going to distribute the money you get through lottery win
4 - Optimist
5 - Ramchanderiac / Monomaniac. ( Nice word, Good Try but does not fit the Crime ). In response he says "Parsimonious, penurious, mean, miserly..." ( This chaps name has been struck off my list :-) ))
6 - I think you are plain jealous. If she wants to shop with your lottery winnings you should gladly give her enough money to shop. At the end of the day life is very short. Nothing wrong in making her a happy person ( Me: 40 years is long enough to try and make wife happy and I have failed)
7 - Buyers remorse ?
8 - Do u really buy lotteries still?
9 - "SELFISH" Let Auntie Mithu spend it on herself. She's smart enough to know that she won't need it all and there'll be plenty leftover to give away making you happy as well
10 - Confused?
11 - She should have the lot. She's 👑 and 👑 in the house😁😁😁😁🙏
12 - I left the best Response for the last: "Penelopizer" - one who undoes a thing already done. Ulysses' wife Penelope wove in the morning and unwove at night
