To save time in the kitchen, I bought my partner a Tearasunder Classic food processing system with 3 litre shatterproof bowl, a commercial grade induction motor, selection of disks for smashing, slicing, kneading complete with large and small pushers. It saved her so much time she joined the local ladies football team and trains three times a week with a game on Sundays and I hardly ever see her. Now if I want a word I have to catch her at half time when she's having her slice of orange. Should I put it on eBay?

I would put her on ebay, after all, the kitchen implement would probably be of more use to you!!!!

No, I don't think you should sell it. First of all, you gave it to her as a gift, so unless you are an "indian giver " (giving things i.e. US Govt giving land to indians- and then take them back) then, its not yours to sell anymore. Why don't you sit her down and tell her, you bought it to save her time so you two could spend more time together. It's great that she's joined a team (soccer or american football?), and you should be supportive of that. If you two want to spend time together, you will... plus, the teams are usually seasonal, so you will get your lady back if that's the case. Anyhow, why don't you talk to her about how her joining the team makes you feel, but what happens the other 3 nights and weekends? Why don't you two spend time together those nights? Are you working late? Can you get home earlier on nights that she's not at practice? If you want her to spend more time with you, make sure you clear up your schedule for the same times that she's free. Selling the food system is probably going to cause some bad feelings betweent you two. Talk it out. and why don't you make dinner for her sometimes? That will make her feel great, and loved.

No, don't sell it. As a female I have to tell you that will just make things worse because then you will get the labels manipulative and non-supportive. What you need to do is tell her exactly how you feel. Just sit her *** down and tell her you don't see her anymore. Tell her you need to see her more and ask how you can solve this problem together. She doesn't have to quit her football but just maybe tone it down. If this doesn't happen then tell her that she is not the only person whose needs are to be considered in this relationship and that if your relationship is to survive that you need a partner. If she can't fulfil your needs then you need to end it and find someone who will.
p.s Don't forget to take the Tearasunder Classic with you when you leave her.

no keep the blender, leave around the kitchen a scrap of paper for homemade fudge, and a lot of meaningless calculations as though you were going to set up a business, and do not mention them to her, when you go shopping for groceries, put on the list sugar ,condensed milk chocolate powder, and keep silent. let her do the assuming, then after a week or so ask her to show you how to operate the blender, but still remain quiet. the same week leave a list of girls names ages and comments on appearences ,experience at sales ect ect, within a week football will get kicked into touch, she will be asking for a job.

Listen I am so sorry this happened to you. That was a very nice gift U bought her and she needs to sit down and discuss what she is doing to this relationship. Tell her you need time out for U and her only as this is really putting a big strain on your relationship. If she says she can't find the time out then You need to sit and think what is best for you and your emotions. Good luck!!

You gave your partner a way to spare time but you did not specifically gave her the menu of work to be done in the spared time!! Catch her someday, give her a nice workout and tell her to concentrate on it during the spare time!!

I think you'd have definite relationship issues if you sell it. Sounds like she depends on the machine. Sit down and talk to her. Let her know you miss her and feel left out. You must be forgetting that women like to talk about relationships and feelings. LOL. Seriously though if my man ever told me that he missed me and wanted to see me more I'd definitely rearrange my schedule.

Stop her and say to her 'look, since i got you this food thing we haven't been spending any time together.' 'We either spend time together or i sell the food thing on ebay. Ya got it?' Or just sell it without saying. Or you can talk it out with her fully.
