My husband is really cheap. He uses coupons for everything and we haven't gone out of state in 10 years. How can I talk him into taking me on a cruise?

Don

Be a good little wife and cook and clean and maybe you will be rewarded.

Peter

Probably going to be a hard sell, but.. if you take into consideration hotel, meals, entertainment and transportation; you'll find that a cruise is cheaper than say a trip to Hawaii or Orlando.

Faina

Pay for your trip and leave him at home. Even if you talk him into going on a cruise he will embarass you each time you want a drink, no tips, etc... I've met his type, it will be cheaper for you to go solo.

Nancy, now be honest. If he is so cheap that he hasn't been out of state for ten years, why do you stay with the cheap mug?<BR>It's your life too, you know. Tell him you are going on a cruise and ask him if he wants to go. If he says no, then tell him you will try to get some nice photos of your trip for him to look at.<BR>Then go, find a nice guy, get a good piece, go home and divorce el cheapo.

My NEW husband wants to cruise every year! In between husbands, I went on a cruise with my 2 girlfriends and we had a BLAST. No men giving you dirty looks for acting crazy, etc!Totally free of worries. Get as many gal friends as you can and take a group cruise. You need it!!

Ted Barnes

Fix him a nice meal and keep the house clean, for starters.

Victor

I agree with Ted and Don. You should do a lot of work around the house and reduce the work requests that you give him. Let him relax and show him that you deserve a cruise vacation. Don't just expect to go because you want to go.

Oral Sex????

Don, Victor and Ted-<BR>Do more work around the house?? Duh---Classic men answers....<BR><BR>Nancy- if both of you don't deserve a cruise together, perhaps a female friend would love to go in his place. <BR>Don't deny yourself just because the hubby won't go..<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Nan Fan

Nanette is my kind of woman !!! Follow her advice often and your husband will be happy to go whatever you want

Nanette

Glad you got a chuckle out of that, FAN.<BR><BR>It only took me about 3 posts like that on the MS. MAGAZINE forum to get thrown off.<BR><BR>(Geez, those feminists just HATED hearing about the joys of being a submissive woman, oral sex, etc.)<BR><BR>*LOL*
