Did you hide your bikes expense from your spouse?

Actually I fully disclose all costs and when considering new vehicles we discuss pros and cons, etc. Despite the fact that she has limited knowledge and understanding of vehicles (she doesn't even have a license) she does well in the discussion. This is even though our finances are completely separate. Her only rule is I'm not allowed to add any more vehicles although she's started to warm up to the idea of a more reliable second bike.

Lying to your SO isn't cool, regardless of what you're lying about. My gf knows what I do with who and is fine with it. If you need to hide things you have the wrong SO. Heck, she even knows which of her friends I think are hot.

Ok I COULD but she'd be annoyed since we have no parking and she'd consider it a bigger waste of money to have 4 vehicles just for myself. I don't think it's unrealistic. She's my voice of reason lol

Its not really a "rule" but more of a hard suggestion.

Girlfriend of 9 years. Might as well be my wife. That's basically my only "rule" beyond "don't cheat".

I could go out and buy a $20k Supersport if I wanted, as long as I swapped it for something else or found a storage/parking arrangement.
 
Same thing goes for my wife's shoes. One pair in, one pair out!

I don't think it's unreasonable, I can only ride one bike at a time.
Although, she's softened at getting my other bike back from her brother,
he's not riding it, and went and sold the other one without asking.

I just don't have the room in the garage at this point.
People are hounding me that they want to buy the mini-bike,
because I don't ride it.

Hey I have the same rule!
 
Yup, my wife supports me in things that make me happy, and I do the same for her. What kind of ****ed up person would knowingly deprive the one you love of something that brings them joy?

if that's your spouse I feel bad for you. Life is too short for that nonsense!!!

Yes it is.... and well said!!!

My ex-wife was against annnyyyyything that brought me some joy. Bought a 2000 Camaro convertible, nope she didn't like it... Played golf with buddies, nope, she biached about that... Go out for a few beers with buddies, whined about that... Bought fish'n gear ($600), disapproved of that... Dammit, a guy needs a hobby! I'd get a DVD/Blu-ray or two, gives me grief. The one that tops 'em all is I was sitting on the deck one day on the lounger in the evening sun... Mmmmm, nice! Not bothering anyone, not committing any crimes, not spending any money, she comes out of the house and starts ragging on me... Like WTF??? I told her to go back in the house and stop bothering me...

Anything that brought me pleasure she was against...

Anything that I would suggest that we could do together other than watching TV (she likes to watch TV), she wanted no part of... We bought ice skates. She went twice and gave it up... I tried to get her to go again but she wouldn't have any part of it. We bought (fairly inexpensive) bicycles to go for evening rides... She rode twice, and never rode again. Kept saying to her... let's go for a ride on the bikes... Nope, wasn't interested!

I did try the 'togetherness' thing... but all she wanted to do was to watch TV. There's more to life than parking your butt on the sofa while wasting your noodle on the telly...

She was probably jealous that I had 'interests', and she did not...

and confess that you knew all this going into the marriage but chose to ignore it thinking things will get better or no one is perfect or other people have it the same way etc etc...All the dumb sheet people think to justify a horrible situation

Yup... Once they sign that ownership paper 'er... Marriage License... You're toast!
 
LOL..... Years ago, I heard a radio ad that had a woman saying 'We're going to do this, this and this...' The man said... 'Well what about what I want?' she said 'You lost that right when we got married...' SMH!!! I'm sure that to a certain extent, this is how many marriages are...

Actually, the fist 8 years were okay TTYTT. Then her dad died... She was Devastated beyond belief! She never quite got over losing her dad. Losing him changed her personality and general outlook on life. She was no longer the 'Happy-go-lucky' woman that I met many moons ago... I'm sure that had a lot to do with the resentment she had towards me... It was never quite the same after 'Dad' passed away... Shame really, as we had a good thing going...

So no, my friend, I did not know going 'in', as we cannot predict the future!

Seems like she jas deep psychological issues. She seems like the jealous type. She doesn't want you to be happy because she can't

You just said the first 8 years were ok...you didn't say amazing or great or awesome. So you did know it wasn't going to get any better before and after the marriage you just ignored the signals until it was too late

If you are healthy ,horny and happy and she is healthy ,horny and happy then that's all you need. Either one of these go too far off track and don't come back or were never there then your relationship is done
