Just putting the DogHouse moment out there.
I would never claim to be the worlds best boyfriend...
At the time,since the occasion was foisted upon me or 'optional' in my mind,I really thought I could pull it off.
Meaning,give the gift to her and because we were a couple,lay claim to it in the future,you are so right- 'LMAO',it just did not work.
Hey it was the 80's and there was nothing like bringing a BoomBox to the beach on a hot summer day,different times they were.
Not as if I forgot a Birthday,which I think is worse than a DogHouse purchase.
Sure,at age 22 I was aware that gift ideas for your girlfriend or wife are easy – they just need to be romantic, personal, meaningful, lasting and most of all, thoughtful.
I'd sold my two motorcycles,favorite car and lived the life of a hermit crab for over a year,just to afford the wedding and a house for us to live in.
I guess that
BoomBox represented some future good times that I did not want to let go of.
Probably a Defcon 2 warning,now I enjoy being a mid-life Bachelor,so no more worries on that front!
We have all teetered on the verge of being in the DogHouse,I would bank on that.
She asked me: "what are we doing for Valentine's Day this year?"
I responded: "I don't know. Why don't you surprise me?"
Life has been hard since.
