If you could what would you change in your dh/so

**homesteadmamma** · 09-26-2002, 10:05 AM

Now I know we can't change them and I don't even try. I did when I was first married and got more and more frustrated. BUT if I could the only thing I would change is his procrastination.

I'd make him into a do it now kinda guy. Other than that, I'd leave him just like he is.

How about you?

i definitely make mine more romantic!! he is not AT ALL!!!

**mommy2three** · 09-26-2002, 10:11 AM

maybe make him a little fatter too!

he is sooo skinny! he is 6'1" and weighs like 140 lbs.

I would change mine's procastination, too, cj. But, then again, he would probably want to change mine as well. lol

come on girls.....don't be shy. it's not like your hubby/so will be reading this!

I would improve his memory. At least for him to remember important things i.e. my birthday. Maybe it's selective because he can remember lines out of any number of movies, or Jeff Kent's batting average, but not my birthday.. okay I'm venting. But you asked lol

Make him communicate more! Also, I agree--more romantic. I am very practical, but love fine jewelry. He can't see the point of buying it, so if I want any, I will have to buy it myself!

ohh you'd be surprised what mine will end up reading

hopefully though after our talks he won't be reading this..

but I would make him stop smoking, and to start lifting weights to get muscle on his arms..

and i'd make him more interested in me..well i know he is..but I'd make him sit down and talk to me longer than he normally does..oh and I'd make him less tired so we can do stuff when he gets home! i hate that he's always napping during the time he's home

I'd make mine talk more, he can be happy as a tick on a dog, to not have to say more than 10 words all nite....That and a lot more romantic...

I would make him be more expressive. Most of the time I have no idea what he is really thinking or feeling. Also a little bit nicer!

**Patchworkgirl** · 09-28-2002, 05:37 PM

If I could change one thing about my spouse, I would make him more frugal. This one change would have a huge impact on our lives.

**Megareader** · 10-01-2002, 07:38 PM

I must be in the minority here...I wouldn't change one thing about dh. I'm not saying he's perfect, and I know I'm not. But I love the person he is, not some "new and improved" version of him.

**MJsLady** · 10-01-2002, 07:43 PM

HMMMM I guess there are 2 things I would change.
I would give him more will power over what he eats. I would also make him more frugal or more pay off debt before you buy that gadget oriented.
I lvoe him dearly but those 2 areas realy bug me!

**Michelle** · 10-26-2002, 08:38 PM

I'd make him more expressive of his feelings--he internalizes so much of what he's feeling and doesn't let me know when something is bothering him until it's too late.

**pcoleman99** · 10-26-2002, 10:31 PM

I would want him to be less of a procrastinator...our house is in the middle of a remodel and he has been "napping" since 3:30. And he wants everything NOW.
