My Husband Cyber Dissed Me!
I’m flustered! I’m aghast, perturbed and grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Today, my incredibly sexy man calls me to say hi and see how my day is going and as we are talking, he says the funniest thing to me:
“One of my friends on Face Book loves your website.” At first, I thought “wow, how cool is that!” but then I couldn’t stop blinking and my mind went blank. Why, you may ask? Well, in that moment I realized my own husband dissed me on Face Book! I was silent for a second, and then for two, and he asked me what was wrong. I started grinning and said “What do you mean one of your friends on Face Book loves my website? How long have you been on Face Book?” He starts laughing and said that he told me all about how he signed up and found all his friends…UH, OH NO HE DIDN’T! OOOO! I told him that he said no such thing to me! He knows I’m on Face Book, so I asked him why he didn’t add me as a friend? Now he is laughing wildly, and me…I’m still grinning from ear to ear. I wanted to hear his defense.
Why didn’t he add me? So then I asked him this next question…”Did you add your mom to your friends list?” He paused for a moment and said “My mom is on Face Book?” Oh, his brothers and ALL his friends from high school and college are on his list (even old girlfriends)…but not me or his mother? What’s up with that? Here is a screen shot after I went to Face Book to look him up:
Nervously he is still laughing and confessing that he has no idea how he could have let this slip by. I told him there was only one thing I could do about such a major slip…exact my revenge on him in my blog!
When I couldn’t hold my laugh in any longer, I let out the most sardonic laugh and he knew in that moment that I was actually going to write about this little “incident.” I razzed him for a while about it and he was relieved that I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I wanted him to stew for a bit, thinking that I was really upset about it, but he couldn’t see my face on the other end of the phone line! I couldn’t stop smiling. It was such an innocent mistake (or was it? hmm? LOL), but I wonder how many wives who’s husbands are away for long periods of time would look at it and wonder if he was trying to hook up with an old flame, or find a nice warm body in his area.
I trust him with all that is in me, and one thing that I know about relationships is that it is important for our mates to maintain good solid friendships. He actually has quite the social life out there in Maryland, going to concerts, hanging out with friends at the bar, meeting up with long time friends and I wouldn’t have it any other way. He was feeling guilty last week because I am all alone out here with no support system, friends or family. Then he asked if I had a problem with him going places and doing things with his friends, I said “Oh hell no, are you kidding me? Someone in this family has to go out and have some fun!”
I adore that man! YUM!

OMG That is soooooooooooooooo funny. Hummmm, minor oversight not adding you or his MOTHER.LOL! You know he probably assumed Facebook would just know you were his wife and make the connection automatically
Glad ya made him sweat a little, that must have been fun!

Y, he didn’t even THINK of me! That’s what is so funny about it. I was totally dissed. LOL

Too bad there’s not some Facebook action to diss him with. It’s good to read about someone else who can laugh and have fun with their hubby. I think he needs to “friend” you and find out how fun it is to flirt on Facebook! My hubby and I do that ALL the time. Even if we’re in the same building. Plus your husband is a cutie pie! GO ANGELA!

Hi Tara,
Maybe I’ll poke him a few times! I’m not in to all the applications available…but poking I will do.

Angela, I would agree that you don’t have to worry one bit about Dom. He could barely go a minute and a half without talking about you, Simmi and the rest of your family. There is nothing in the world that he seems to love more.

Cait, I loved hearing him squirm. LOL He is just precious and the thought never crossed my mind that he might get involved with someone else in a moment of weakness. He is one of the purest souls I know and his love for me is never ending.
You guys must get sick to death hearing about us if he talks about us that often! ROFL.

Angela, hearing anyone talk about their significant other and their family the way Dom does, would never get annoying. His enthusiasm and obvious display of love and care for all of you is not only romantic but endearing. It’s nice to hear such a fresh and positive perspective in a pretty negative world.

LOL. Poor bastard. Sometime we men just don’t think.

This is hilarious! I was cracking up the entire time because I know so many people on FB who do the same thing to their spouses! Why do you need to friend your spouse when you see them all the time is always the excuse. By the way, I think the magazine layout of your blog is so attractive. It’s clean, bright, and organized.

Hi Stillthinking,
You are so right about FB and spouses, but what about when your spouse is living 2,000 miles away? I found the whole thing hilarious because he is starting to get more internet savvy, navigating around and even starting his own blog. I love it!
Thanks for the comment on my blog also!
