Was drinking with the chaps at the cricket club on Saturday and one of their gfs comes in and shows

[Berni]

off the fact that she's got a tattoo on her arm (something to do with dead grandparents).

However, it turns out there'd been no consultation with her chap on the matter and he went ballistic, leading to a rather entertaining shouting match outside and her storming off.

So the debate that ensued was whether he was right to be angry or whether it was up to her and he had no business getting arsey about it.

What say you to this very 21st century relationship problem, AWIMB?

[Snin]

relationship with her rather than a normal equal relationship ? I dont understandwhy he would even be annoyed tbh up to her

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Now perhaps she could have mentioned the deed in advance and then proceeded to get it done anyway.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Common.

[Norn Iron]

It's her choice but I bet it looked cheap and nasty.

Isn't he a dreamboat? :swoon:

[Monty91]

partner to get one, then it’s probably fair enough for him to be upset as it seems likely to assume she did it as a point of principle.

If he’d never expressed an opinion either way, then shouting at her is not really on. Would he shout at her for getting a haircut he’d not been consulted on?

[Brentwood]

without prior consent. It's like signing up for Sky Sports for a year and learning that they've lost the Premier League

Exceptions include the ageing process

[Snin]

is that not the fat chap from cold feet ?

[Berni]

[Berni]

up, can you?

Personally, I think it was attention-seeking on her part in order to get him to stop spending quite so much time with his mates at the cricket club.

[Classic Jorge]

That said, I did break up with a girl over the fact she got a piercing.

[Berni]

unattractive - permanently - I'd say that goes to the heart of their relationship and is therefore something about which he gets to have some say.

[Classic Jorge]

I do appreciate where he's coming from though, I find tattoos - both on men and women, then again I only really like girls - to be fantastically unattractive things.

[Berni]

However, he is entitled to feel that he might have been asked his opinion and to let her know what his feelings were on the matter.

Besides, tattoos are such horrible, pikey-looking things on a woman. Can you imagine for the rest of your life having to introduce someone as your partner who has 'Nan & Grandad' inked on their wrist? :puke:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The issue is that she's the type to consider getting such a tattoo.

Without labouring the point, common. He should naver have had anything to do with her, unless he is also common, in which case, why are we discussing the activities of the lower orders?

[Classic Jorge]

I think you know I'm playing leetle beet the Darcus on this one. I got all grumpy when my other half cut off her hair.

I hate the whole 'women past a certain age cant have long hair' thing

[Classic Jorge]

Though surely cricket should be a fairly good insurance policy against common types.

The things berni does just to spend time in the locker room, eh?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Look at chaps like Boycott. A wife-beating northerner, for God's sake.

[Berni]

I expect him to be knighted in the next round of honours.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Common as muck. :judge:

[Berni]

What was funny was then watching a dozen or so pissed up blokes discussing the rights and wrongs of the matter for an hour. At one point, someone claimed it was OK because they weren't married, but had they been married, he'd have been within his rights to divorce her. The logic of that one escaped me.

[Classic Jorge]

Fitzwilliam :-(

People from neighbouring Barnsley and Wakefield shudder when you mention that place.

[Berni]

We'd been drinking all though the rugby world cup final and a few more hours on top of that by the time this happened.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Prior to the wedding, each is free to do as they wish. After the wedding, a commitment has been made and the female has given up her right to individual thought, decisions or the ownership of property. :shrug:
