I will give you money to take my hubby off my hands!

[theatregirl26]

I will pay you to do it!  OK, so the car wouldn't shift...again!  It was stuck in neutral at his work.  So I tell him to call the place we took it last time and see if the what he did was still under warrenty.  Well, DH said he did and it was a year warrenty.  I could sware to that on a stack of bibles.  Well, we decide to take it to they guy close by because he said that it was probably something easy to fix.  Well, it isn't.  Major things broke.  So right now it is sitting in this guys repair shop.  So I call DH today to find out what the cost might be on the other guy and he says..."I am not sure if it is under warrenty or not".  I said "WHAT?!"  So he never checked.  We got the damn car towed somewhere at $75 to find out it was more.  Now we have to pay for another tow to take it to the other guy "who may still be under warrenty"!  The VERY FIRST THING I said to my DH when I found this out is to find out if this could be covered and for how long.  That will make a difference on where we have it towed!!  So we basically flushed $75 dollars down the toilet (which we don't have to do that with) because he couldn't have bothered to find out if the other place could or would cover the repair (Brand new transmission put in 1/06).  I am so angry with him right now I could spit!!!  I told him to call the place, and he decides not to and now the only option the place that has the car now can do is put in a whole new transmission for the tune of $1500.  We did that a little over 2 years ago.  I WANT TO SCREAM!!!  Why is it the man NEVER listens to me.  He has to do it his way and we ALWAYS end up loosing money doing it his way.  Now he wants to tow it or move it to the front of our house.  Great, so when it starts to get tickets and he doesn't pay them and the car gets towed...AGAIN...by the city, how the hell will be get it out of there.  OMG!!!  Does he ever actually think?  And why, when everyone will agree that the first thing you do is call and see if a repair like this will be covered, does he have to go about it the hard way and not do that.

Then he has the nerve to get mad at me when I get upset with him.  OMG!!!!  I am just so pissed.

Oh, and my parents are coming in this weekend to visit.  So stress there too!

While I can completely empathize with your reaction... at least now you know what he is and isn't capable of doing. My husband said the brand new transmission should have at least a five year warranty. Do you know where the paperwork is? I'm sure you truly love your husband and he has his good points. You may want to make a list to refer back to in the future. For now, call the place where you had the transmission put in and I hope all goes well.

I know men can be..... well not as smart as us, that's why if you want something done right you have to do it yourself..... I learned that the hard way, like 3 times! Take a deep breath and slap the crap out of him, lol no I'm kidding I don't need Matt coming down here and thanking me for that, but don't worry everything will work out eventually.
