MHKflyer52 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Seem like the second poster was giving some sage advice to the first poster. Wonder if she took the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobone Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm going to be a bit contrarian on this one.... Relationships are a two way street. Did this guy ever sit down with his significant other and tell her how important cars are to him? In her mind, without some frame of reference, this jeep maybe just another appliance. If you owned a fridge and it kept sucking up cash, and your wife kept saying she wanted to keep pouring money into it because it matched her dishwasher, you would probably be really pissed. 90% of women just don't understand what makes us tick....so we have to actually sit them down and explain it. Sadly, they often forget once they see us behaving outside of what they consider normal in their world. However a gentle reminder of the rules of engagement helps get things back on track, i.e. "no complaining about my car hobby as long as I'm being responsible about the other aspects of our lives" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 IMO there is a significant difference between a girfriend telling you what to do, and your wife. A wife has a valid say in the family finances. A girfriend should worry about her own cash first. I'd guess she'd be fine with him blowing several thousand on a diamond bracelet for her, and you can't even drive a diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 ...better to ask forgiveness than permission. We use the reciprocal spending approach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi7ot Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Um,.. I'd just like to say that the first responder, though harsh and angst ridden with regard to Estrogen based carbon units, was actually quite progressive. He told her to get her *ss out of the kitchen, and help the sod become a real man. Dreamkiller :smilielol5: m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
