“We need to talk”

[napanutt]

The four words guys dread hearing.
Wife pulled this on me the other day. I’m thinking great. I don’t have a side chick. Haven’t had a porn stash in over 20 years. She doesn’t care if I buy guns. What can it be?

Her: “You know how we were talking about me officially retiring on my birthday in September? Well they’re changing the scheduling end of June and it’s gonna be a cluster fuck so I’ll probably stop working then.”
(She’ll be 62 in September so the plan was to bring in a few bucks until SS kicks in).

Me: “OK. I’m sure we’ll survive just fine for a couple months until September. “

Me: “ Next time ‘we need to talk’ can you just start talking without stating we need to talk?”

Me: “ Next time ‘we need to talk’ can you just start talking without stating we need to talk?”

Did she give you the bird?

 

[Backlash]

At least she didn't follow that up with "OK, now we REALLY need to talk."

 

[napanutt]

Did she give you the bird?

Not that time.

Not that time. View attachment 1369937

You better go check on her, she's not feeling well

Worse than that is…”I’ve been thinking”.

We just last night had that conversation without the “we need to talk.”

Lots of reasons why though.

I’m scared she’ll fall asleep at the wheel driving home. Happened with all night long shift nurses on Vista Del Mar in front of my work from time to time.

Early retirement means we’ll deposit $600 less a month in our savings.

You missed the big one…….
Fortunately for us, no one is going anywhere. I could not imagine being single at 74. My wife is 76 and feels the same way.
No one would want to live with me, she agrees and has for the last 50+ years or so.

Worse than that is…”I’ve been thinking”.

Is that what that smell is?

That’s what we used to say to each other when we first started dating. Ie, you have no brains so your head is spitting out smoke.

That’s like pulling “the pin” and there ain’t no BOOM.

Go buy a lot o ticket

So after she retires...

How much time did she give you to find a new place to live?

















J/k. Congrats! Nothing better than being retired.

I hate to tell you this, but based on your description of the conversation, I think she is planning on retiring and running off with your stunt double?

Nothing pegs the Oh Shit meter faster than those four words.

The house was real quiet when I returned from the river.
Girls walk around in a straight posture and hold their look at me a little longer like they are ready to tell me something but say nothing.
Maynard and Ali real distant.

Everyone is winding up to hit me with something. It's in the air no one is saying anything.

Wife likes to volunteer at a few animal rescue and placement charities.
Like in Vegas I want to see the horse that beat me, or the extra point or the flip of the cards that beat me, she likes to see the generous amount of money she donates at work be part of the action.
Generous donations as in ample so she felt she should keep working and earning.

With her cancer(s) treatments has to put that behind her and retire young.
We can afford it.

Wife was real quiet as I was paying the few bills we have, then opened up to me that she told the kids all about it before I got home from the river and decided to retire in January,, and the news was just settling in.

It's going to be OK.

My wife is counting down the days... 18 more specifically. Lots of mixed emotions.. a little jealously, a little more stress, but also a little pride knowing that some things we planned in life are starting to work out and feeling like more of a provider.
