Shopsmith Forums

Hi, so im here to say goodbye to this group which I love so much. My wife says I'm in this group every 2 seconds and I'm too obsessed with woodworking and she can't stand it anymore..Well we argued and she told me to choose between her or the group...therefore Im gonna be offline for a couple hours while I pack her bags and call her a taxi!! I'll be right back!

That is the 'problem' with ultimatums.

Sometimes you get what you asked for, but not necessarily what you intended.

My Wife doesn't care about my woodworking addiction as long as I share the shop with her so she can feed her woodworking addiction too.

My husband does not care about mine either. He will even give me a hand if I need help with something. He does expect me to make what he wants, even if it takes be a while. He also expects me to do most of the maintenance on things. I do draw the line at auto maintenance and repair, he can do his own.

I wondered how long it would take for you to ring in!

So as long as he 'maintains you' you are happy.


You also need to count yer blessing!

Sounds like a very logical partial role reversal to me.

It is more of an almost total role reversal. He sews, knits and does most of the cooking. He also stayed home with our kids when they were babies.

Ah so. Mr Mom!

God bless you both!

Mine is exactly that way also!
