eckybay:Being the good girlfriend, I check to make sure the other half doesn't have something going on. He suddenly recalls that it's his best friend's baby's baptism.
eckybay:Okay....Here's the deal...I'm all ready to take my AOW class. Find out that the instructor I want to take it with is offering it in August.
Being the good girlfriend, I check to make sure the other half doesn't have something going on. He suddenly recalls that it's his best friend's baby's baptism.
I passed on taking AOW last summer because it was said best friend's wedding.
So the dilemma...diving or duty... I know which one I *want* to choose...
all4scuba05:What would Dr Phil say?.....
You make a great point about the guilt thing...I do tend to adjust my plans around what I think other people want to do. He does dive - and I suspect he'll be along shortly to put his two cents in on this thread...but really, he's just jealous that I'd be diving with out him...dallasdivergirl:Coming from some one who has been guilted into many, many things. Just go with your gut....Does the boyfriend dive?
Oh...I already know I'm going to hell.J.R.:Oh... and as to being bad. Ummm... exactly do you define 'bad'... You can be if you WANT to be ya' know.
It's not that I won't be able to find another AOW class, per say, but I want a specific instructor, that doesn't work through a shop, so he only does two or three AOW classes a year.Mr. Bubble:I find it odd that you cannot find another AOW class this summer. There are several each summer, through fall at our LDS.
Now this is just impressive! I think I may have to try this.beester:She made her brother change the date of the baptism
beester:How do you think this beautiful girlfriend of mine solved this... wel... pay attention and learn from the master... She made her brother change the date of the baptism... uhu she did. All arrangements with the minister, the feast, all invites to the family and friends... everything dropped because my ol lady wants to go diving. Now if this is not hardcore wanting to dive and negotiation skills then nothing is
grassyknoll:Baby Baptism, Diving??? I see a logical combination of both activities here....
almitywife:he would say negotiate!!!
my question - do you want to go to this christening???? i would say your answer is no so let the BF go to the baby thing with your apologizies and you go diving
to add some seriousness to this question - if you start giving up too many things you want to do for someone else you eventually will become resentful
now to add some fun to your question - tell the babys family that in honor of thier little one you are going to spend time with mother-ocean and whisper bubs name to the dolphines.... its total garbage but comeon, its your boyfriends best friends baby, not exactly close ties to you
dive - enjoy!
