Conversations with the Hubs!

As I've said before, D and I both work in the same area and have taken to carpooling 3-4 times a week. I love this time together because we can talk about our days at work and what the rest of our time holds. During the carpool time, we listen to something called "War of the Roses". Basically, this is an opportunity for couples to find out who the significant other would send roses to and confront cheating. It is sometimes painful to hear because the recipient is not the one it should be. However, some of these bring out some good conversations for D and I.

This week, there was a married couple on...the wife always lets her husband handle their finances. For some reason, she logged on to their account and saw that her husband had several charges for an escort service. When they called to offer him free roses, his wife was not the recipient. Once confronted, he proceeded to share that he and his "boys" go to strip clubs and hire escorts. He had no problem with this behavior.

This opened a really good discussion between D and I about boundaries of acceptable behavior. He, like I, was incensed that this man saw nothing wrong with this behavior. It then spurred an off shoot topic about sharing with what happens during guy time. It is my opinion and view that I would rather know if the boys end up at a strip club (which never happens with the exception of bachelor parties) or some other place up front from D rather that hearing it later. Otherwise, it seems like shady things are happening that need to be hidden.

The bottom line of this whole post is that these conversations are what keep us interested and talking. We've never had a problem talking, but it made me feel good that something as mindless as this radio bit could inspire such provocative conversation.
