stoopid_guy Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 My wife is an intelligent lady, she's fluent in three languages, "survival" level in a few more, has traveled the world, reads voraciously... I'm not insulting her mind here... She HATES pumping gas. She basically ignores it until the warning light comes on, so anytime I drive her car and it's below half a tank, I fill it up. I thought she realized I did it, but yesterday she says "Something funny's going on with the car. Sometimes I can go several weeks on a tank of gas, and sometimes only a week." I asked her if was running OK, "yes." Then I realized what must be happening. (Did manage to keep a straight face.) So should I tell her what's going on with her gas? Or should I let her wonder? And how long?

Don't tell her........ keep filling up the tank and save the reciepts...... put them in a card and be serious and tell her that there is something she needs to know that is happening in your marriage.......hand her the card....... I cannot believe you fill up her tank for her....... that is love! (brings the gas can fight to my mind suddenly)
2sunny Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 My STBXH used to fill up my tank. I hate pumping gas almost as much as I hate taking out the trash. I don't look at the gas gauge hardly ever! Maybe she is this way as well.... The light/and signal is there for a reason, it tells us to look at it when we NEED to! If it never comes on - she is assuming that she hasn't used very much gas... And yes, sometimes the brightest minds seem to have NO common sense. Go figure! :lmao:
Buttaflyy Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Tell her. I'm sure you'll get cool points for this! You're such a good husband Stoopidguy!

That is a great idea, unfortunately not keeping receipts is one of my own weaknesses. Maybe I should blame it on elves? I'm sure she'll figure it out eventually.
whichwayisup Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 That is really funny! Keep it going until Christmas time or April Fool's Day! I don't mind pumping gas, I actually like the smell of it as I'm pumping away. (yeah, that kind of sounds abit dirty eh? LOL!)
Adunaphel Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Maybe I should blame it on elves? I'm sure she'll figure it out eventually. I like the elves idea. I loved the story. It was sweet!
Author stoopid_guy Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 Dang! She figured it out. I guess she just started paying more attention to the needle. I took the car out Friday and filled it up from a little over a quarter of a tank. She asked me today and I told her "elves" but don't think she believed it...
