What do you do with a spouse who just won't do something you asked him to do several times?

I've asked my husband four times already to join Answermug and vote for me http://answermug.com/polls/view/199/whose-side-are-you-on-anyways  Four times!

Is that too much too ask?  He used to have an AM account but he left because he thought he was boring.  I don't care if he thinks he's boring.  All he has to do is help me build my voter base.

    Vote for what? I thought this was a question & answer site.

  • Sounds like disingenuous manipulation for an unworthy, self serving goal.  Are you in politics?

    Not yet.  I'm still in the planning phase.

  • That's a bit over the top. What about witholding nice compliments instead.

  • Dear Livvie,

    Well I think you should just post your conundrum on aMug and see if any of us will go ahead and take his place and vote for you...
    ...which is actually what I just did, shutting my eyes and just voting for you, because omg your competition is def certainly the sterling cream of aMug!
    (Did I just mix some metaphors there? Oh the travesty of it all...)

    Grrr. They conspire against me.Such bad losers they all are. Is not my fault I make great choices people like. Two of contestants do not even use remedies agreed on in their contributions. That third leg wont make it a pole. Oomph. *pouts*

    You sound like some members on another site I'm on who are obsessed with upvotes and down votes.  There really are more important things than that, wouldn't you agree?  Besides, this isn't a popularity contest.

    I know it's not. It's a banter. The poll is something a group of us have made several times to create activity and fun times for those who like these kinds of activities. Theme will vary from time to time. The conspiracy question I posted about it won't be anything more than this one. If you had followed the members inside our group you'd realize it wasn't anything else than fun. We all respect each other and talk with each other, also in private. Again, be assured, nothing alike with what you compare it to. ;-)

    I wasn't aware you had a group nor am I a group joiner, so I'll take your word for it.

    Group in this context means we are at this time four members here who run a poll in between, not so much about joining a group or not. nd participation in voting on the poll is all volunteer. ;-)

    My hubby makes fun of me, he says there's are people like you who like Q&A sites?
    i don't mind, he is a computer wizard, he has different interests and I have different ones!
    i tell him about the odd things on AM and he tells me about his side, we laugh and comment...that is fun, that's marriage, be together but that shouldn't be forcible togetherness, my opinion only;))

  • Well I'm not sure what the voting is about but I've always found that a cast iron frying pan skillfully applied usually gets him to see my point of view.

  • Livvie, this is grounds for divorce. He has no defence. Any judge will give you the house, the kids, the car, the family dog, and his golf clubs. Go get him, girl!

  • kick his happy ass to the couch, until he joins. If he still makes a fuss, ground him from his man cave. He'll eventually cave in.

  • Haha! Thanks, I've been here a few months, just haven't been active. Between parenting and working, everything else takes the backburner.
