Did you hide your bikes expense from your spouse?

We're talking about Life Partners here, not Mothers.

If you want to treat your spouse like she's your Mommy.
Well . . .not gonna go there.

Anyway, if the two of you are spending like crazy without telling each other,
then how are you going to plan, or save?

You've either got to have money coming out the wazoo,
or you're going to be constantly broke and in debt.
 
Plans, ha!

I know so many people that had a plan and then splitsville. I can't see how this is beneficial.

We had a conversation early in our life about mortgages. That's the only thing we share. We each have pensions and RRSPs. He takes his money and does what he wants, I take mine.

Pay cash, don't buy it if you can't afford it. Simple.

this is a silly conversation, because we all made decisions based on what we thought life would be like.
Worked out great for some, not so much for others.

Get a more expensive diversion so they don't care about the bike. I race yachts, motorcycle costs are a blip on the screen around here.

Yup... that will keep the arguing to a minimum.

Cool...What boat do you own now?
 
Tuesdays and Thursday nites are a Shark24, regattas are a C&C 33. We share care and feeding of a 43 that's living offshore.
 
I wonder how many of the tough guy talk posters in this thread are subservient savants in their own relationships?

It is interesting to see how we differ in our relationships, and how we deal with finances. I know I'm no tough guy. Oh well. Life's still pretty good.

She doesn't really care to ask...
On a couple of occasions... I may have replaced a bike with a similar model, or colors, without telling her. Not because of the money spent... more so that she didn't need to know I wrecked another bike.

Unfortunately mine would prolly notice.

My thoughts exactly. A lot of posts reek of insecurity and are border-line childish. Entertaining nonetheless.

While mine may reek of this and outright sexiness yours reeks of protesting too much. (Insert whipping noises here) #hagfreemarriage

Sounds like you know it all... good on you for being such a man.

If I share a joint account with my wife, who also has a career and works her *** off just like I do... everything is 50/50 as far as I'm concerned. I'd be an ******* to assume I can take a significant portion of her hard earned money to support MY expensive hobby without talking it through with her.

Since when is manhood defined by how big of an ******* you are? Lame.

No, I don't know it all. Just enough to understand that I don't own my partner and she doesn't own me.

Having a joint account where you have to run things through her is giving your individuality (and money, and dreams, and life, and balls, and...) away, even if you don't want to admit it.

You have a misconception of manhood, it sounds to me that you're effectively pu$$y whipped.

Now, that's lame.
