Wheelchair Advice – Do you qualify for a free wheelchair

At least two or three times, every single day, he plays pranks on me. These include such lame things as sneaking up on me in the shower and yelling "RAR" so loud that I jump out of my skin, calling me at work and pretending to be someone else (i.e. "this is the chocolate factory. Your order is ready…), knocking on the wall so I think someone is knocking at the door, saying embarrassing things to me very loudly in a crowded store (i.e. "those tampons you are buying are soooo huge!! How will we fit them in?"), and pulling down my pajama pants every time I walk by. Oh, those are just a few of his tactics. I never know what he’s got up his sleeve.

He’s always played pranks since I’ve known him, but have happened more and more frequently as the years have gone on. I can enjoy the occasional prank as well as anyone, but c’mon, it’s gotten out of control. I’m always on the lookout for what he’s planning next. It’s exhausting. And he’s no kid. The man is 35 for crying out loud. I feel like he’s my fourth child and definitely the worst behaved!

Can anyone give me some tips for dealing with this or getting him to tone it down a bit? I really am at my wit’s end. The first two or three times it was funny. 56,000 times later, not so much.

I just envision the two of us in wheelchairs in the rest home and my husband will be plotting how to sneak over to unlock the brakes on my wheelchair so I take a wild, crazy ride down the Wheelchair ramp. Will the madness ever end!?!

So, short of tasering him within one inch of his life, how can I get him to stop or keep his pranks to a minimum. Please don’t say talk to him about it. I have until I’m blue in the face and he just laughs and it seems to egg him on. Any other suggestions appreciated. Even revenge. Yes. I’ve come to that point.

Thanks for reading my long rant and please help me out here people!!

I’m wondering if your husband’s behaviour is not simply abuse. Try reading the book by Lundy Bancroft: Why does he do that? Inside the minds of angry and controlling men. Also, a book about boundaries would be helpful, you could try, When to say yes, when to say no, to take control of your life, by Townsend and Cloud. You deserve to be well treated.
