All Forum Posts by: Account Closed

Due to a nosey coworker, I am closing my account and going back to lurker mode.  She previously found me on a non RE related forum and started tracking what & when I post to try to jam me up at work.  She saw BP on my screen today and asked me about the site.  Before she gets a chance to track me down on here, I am going to make myself the next Account Closed member.

Thanks to BP, I am confident I will escape cubicle hell at some point in the future.  Just  want to make sure I am leaving on my terms, not due to a crazy unstable co-worker.

Welcome to BP. 

Not familiar with your RE market but love your indoor water park.   :)

I got my first one a couple weeks ago.  I didn't call back but I did try to research the company to see if the sender was on BP.  Definitely curious how my property made it on a list worth marketing to.  Own property free & clear.

Allow me to clarify for you.  Embarking on a NEW career after marriage is something that SHOULD be discussed with your spouse.  A guy who disregards his wife's opinion and pursues it because he "wears the pants" in the family isn't likely to have a successful marriage.

Your doctor/surgery analogy just didn't fit the situation.  Of course there are doctors that didn't become doctors until after marriage.  They were med students who met their future spouse, who was well aware of their career pursuit.

I would imagine there is a minute percentage of doctors who got married, started a family, then came home from their 9 to 5 and said "honey, I am quitting my job and going to med school."  Even more minute is the percentage of doctors who remained married after their wife said "NO" and they said "I am doing it anyway because I wear the pants."

If calling out a person who prefers to include their spouse for decision making is an effective practice for you, all the power to you.  Personally, I would respectively show you the door and find someone else to do business with.

I am not sure if it was mentioned or not, so I am making an assumption that the OP was not a REI when he got married. If that is a correct assumption, your doctor/surgery analogy does not fit.

And I would show anyone the door that tried to use the "who wears the pants" BS on me.  Just because you feel it is a great tactic, doesn't me it isn't chauvinistic

Although I have no doubt that it was appropriate and educational, I am not much of a book reader. 

How ironic that the acronym for the ordinance is TRAP
