hehe...
lol, you lot and your "wives". I've been with my girlfriend for a year and will be moving in with her shortly. Well no, she'll be moving in with me cos its gonna be my flat. She certainly won't be calling any shots in so far as telling me what can and can't be in the living room (a 42\50 inch plasma)..
She also knows better than to buy me something of such specific nature. Just as I wouldn't buy her a handbag or something like that.
Lol, I was with my mate in glastonbury a few months ago and he bough his girlfriend this disgusting handbag that was based on a sewn up pair of denim jeans, it looked vile IMO and I'm sure she wasn't too chuffed when she got it but I haven't mentioned it neither has she...
Personally I reckon your misses was bang out of order for getting you the plasma without consulting you first on the one you wanted!
Its the same thing for games consoles and what not. If your granny got you the plasma then thats different its what grannys do. You know like knit you jumpers you can't stand when your a kid (well mine did anyway
)...
But ya girlfriend. You had to put her right, otherwise it could happen again in the future and it could potentially destroy a relationship, if something like that happened more than once.
you did the right thing bein straight with her!!!
I would be going crackers inside if I kept that in, and I'd prolly blurt it out during an argument at somepoint in the future even if it was months down the line. It would sound a lot worse then I tell ya!
Take the bloody thing back, tell her how important it is that you get the right one, and that the goodmans one she got just isn't the one you were after, and explain the comparison between her having a nice handbag that she thinks is stylish (panasonic) and a handbag made of half a pair of denim jeans (goodmans) plasma.
be all nice about it and act like a little naughty boy, thats what i do in these sort of situations, dunno if that'll work, talk about it straight after giving a good orgasm in bed or something and ya both all dreamy and knackered, women are as receptive to common sense as blokes after a good hour in the sack...obviously can't be sure what your relationship is like but hey its not that big a deal!
