Here is a little known relationship fact. Men are not very aware of small new things in the home. Women realize this and take full advantage. By the time a guy realizes that there is something new that's been bought..it's no longer new. Here is a common conversation that takes place in my home.

Me: Honey, have you been shopping?
Her: No
Me: I don't remember this figurine, is it new?
Her: Oh that? That's been there for months. I got it on sale.

First of all...sale is a four letter word. "Months ago" could have been yesterday for all I know. I felt that I must learn from this fabulous technique, and use it on her. Therefore, She has no clue as to anything that I do, and still hasn't noticed a couple of really obvious ones. When she eventually notices, I'll matter of fact reply that I got that done last year with the hood and be done with it.

 

ha ha ha this is soooooo fawkin truuuuuu but my wife never has cash and i dont pay the credit cards she takes care of that so every now and then i go to the mail and open up the discover card bill or whatever see a 90 dollar charge from Bed Bath and Beyond or whatever and I had no clue we had even bought anything new, turns out it was guest towels or sum stupid **** and im like opening the linen closet and its overflowing with towels...

 

hah this is such a great topic, my girl somewhat likes it, ive only added an exhaust and some small parts but shes against me throwin down a few grand for wheels and tires haha. she also joked about me lovin the car more than her, little does she know its actually true haha jk

 

Hahahahaha that sounds something simular to my scenerios.

My situation goes like this,

Me: Honey when did we get this?
Her: I got it a while ago
Me: Why didnt you tell me when you bought this?
Her: My mom bought it for me last week. (Code for sh@#$T i just got caught)
Me: RigggghhhhhhTTTTT!!!!!!!!

 

wow, our wedding was like $4000 for EVERYTHING. I'm the wife, and i was perfectly happy with it. The extra money can go to other things that we really need. We didnt need an extravagant wedding, we're just happy being together. Oh and the wedding ring, a nice $75 on sale, from $400. and I love it.

But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinions and hobbies. Im sure people think Im crazy for the stuff i spend money on. So whatever makes you happy, I say go for it. Im going skydiving for three hundred dollars this summer, and to my husband thats test pipes that will last on the car a lot longer than my free fall out of the plane. But hey, its what makes me happy.

 

^but that's an experience that you'll cherish, a memory you'll have forever [unless, i suppose, something goes wrong]........ good luck

 

I guess i get lucky. Although my gf does think i spend alot of money on my car(s), she supports me cause i still buy her stuff. I feel for everyone. She wants a coach purse and a tea cup size dog. I don't complain cause she is going to buy me the Veilside body kit though. So yea, i love her.

 

my girlfriend doesn't like my car because it's not practical, she says it's just for show and sometimes refers to it as "your stupid car"

and on wednesday I had given blood because she wanted us to do it together, and she ended up not being eligable because she's not from this country.. so only I could, it wasn't bad but I wasn't planning on it. She said something half joking like, "yeah let's hurry up and get in your stupid car" and I said.. listen, you can say, "your car" or "car" but don't say stupid car please

 

Let us know how that goes. That can't be a good situation.

I think you did right by letting her know that you do not appreciate that and if she truely loves you then she will at least respect the things you love. My two cents...

 

Definitely not a good situation. I had a gf like that once, and that attitude came out in all sorts of ways, like if we were doing something that I wanted to do, but she didn't, she'd constantly remind me of that fact. She was really selfish and only wanted me to do what she wanted to do. Thank god I got out of that relationship.

 

my gf likes it. But then, she's pretty ok with everything I do. It's really wierd. And awesome.

 

I just recently started buying stuff for my Z....if it comes down to trouble, i had the Z first.........hehe.....many fish in the sea

 

gf

 

as many others have stated my gf always goes on and on about how i love the car more than her and it "worries" her how much money i spend on the car blah blah blah. The bottom line is I bring home the bacon so she aint got a leg to stand on

 

Totally agree!!!!
