What do I do? My wife goes nuts when I buy anything for my truck. She tells me i care more about my truck than I do about her. I got a great deal from Tractor Supply and purchaced a truck bed tool box, after that. she was mad at me for 2 weeks, and when im just out looking at new tires , she goes crazy, I try to explain to her tires do wear out, she expects me to run my tires down to the cords before replacing them. I tell her if you can get 20K miles outta tires on a full size 4X4, ur doing good, but talking to her about it is like talking to a door ****.

 

You are shopping for necessary items. Does your wife shop for items for herself? Get my point.....

 

I'd get a new wife.

The truck is less trouble.

 

Go nuts on her when she buys hair coloring or tampons. I hate women who play the guilt trip crap. My mom did it all my life and I quit speaking with her 10 years ago, it just wasn't worth the effort. She's a travel agent for guilt trips. She doesn't suffer from depression but she's a carrier.

 

Consult a lawyer. Give her the heave-ho. That's insane... it's not like your shopping for superchargers, tuners, etc... is money that tight she has a reason to whine?

 

OE812 yea I get ur point, ur right. I never thought about it that way. Its just my wife thinks shes a Princess or something, and everything has to be about her. When my mother in law needs something hauled around im there all the time, im the only one that has a truck in that family.

 

dzervit she whines and complains a lot cause she is beautiful, and she knows she could get any man

 

MotoF150:

Reminds me of a very fond memory I have from many years back. My X-wife was a very material person, only money and material things could make her happy. Anyhow one day we get into a bit of an argument, we’ll actually she was yapping and I was listening…

The only words of her 30 minute spout session I allowed to enter my tender ears was the last part about ”You are going to have to make a choice, either me or the truck…”

My reply was ”Ok, I’ll think about it while I am washing the truck…”

Anyhow my friend it doesn’t matter how beautiful your wife is now she will in time get ugly and possibly very wrinkled and flabby, something no pill can help with, so look at your future with that picture in your mind, an ugly wrinkled flabby person yapping about this and that.

Is that what you want? Do you want to go through life and be miserable? Now I don’t know your situation but if it was like mine “use” to be like then your in for one LONG miserable life ahead of you and at the end of the tunnel is no truck, no goodies for the truck and an ugly, wrinkled, flabby women rubbing up against you in bed…

 

Wow that is insane! If you are spending the money stupidly than I can see her point. If this is money you need to pay the mortgage or food or baby clothing then ok. But if it is not and you are buying things that you need or hell even to help further enjoy your life than she has to realize what she is doing is plane stupid.

Case and point, I have been with my girl for 7 years (I am 28 years old now). When we fist met she new that my hobby was cars and fishing. We just got married 3 months ago and in the 7 years that we have been together she has "NEVER" once gave me a hard time about buying anything that I didn’t need let alone needed. I had a Camaro that I spent insane amounts of money on. I then decided I needed a daily driver. So I went to ford with her and started dealing on a Lightning. Not only did she not get mad but she was the one who got me the insane deal on it. A few months later we decide to get married and buy a house. So I sell the Camaro and only do $1000 worth of mods on the Lightning to help with my speed fix. We get the house we get married and just 2 weeks ago the wife says I am so proud of you that you have made sacrifices to help out in our life. She then goes on to tell me that if I want to start playing with the Lightning to not feel guilty. Needles to say I have a Short block being built for it right now along with heads and cams. When we discussed things she asked if I could wait until next year to buy an aftermarket supercharger for it since its not wise to spend that much money at once in our current situation. Even what she is willing to let me spend not wise but she realizes that you only live once and she wants my life to be as good as it can. Either that or she cheats on me and feels guilty. LOL Just joking!

But the point is I do not stop her when she goes clothes shopping of wants to buy Fine China or any other thing that makes her happy. I do everything I can to make her happy. If we were spending the money very stupidly (needed it to pay bills, food etc) then we do not do it. But if it increases our quality of living and is within our means then that is what marriage is all about. Its wanting to make the other person happy.

Sorry for the long post but I was kind of disturbed with your problem. I think you should sit down and talk to her and try explaining and see why she does what she has to do. She should not feel insecure enough to think you like your truck more than her. SO either she is too insecure and you have to reassure her she is at the top of your list or she is just playing a guilt game with you.

Good luck.

 

And the truth shall set you free!!!! Scrap her lame ***. No matter how hot any woman is, there is always some guy that tired of putting up with her sheet. Find a hottie that's cool and not a prissy bee-yotch. They are out there.

 

Wow she looks good so she acts like that? LMAO! My wife used to model yet she is an angel. I am sorry to hear that she has this sort of attitude and outlook on life.

 

20,000 miles out of a set of tires is pretty poor. I would think that 40,000 miles would be more reasonable. If you want new tires just because, that is cool, but at least be honest about it.

 

Does she have a point? Do you care more about the truck or her? If it's her, do you show it to her? And be honest with yourself, don't answer on what you think, answer on what you do.

Flowers out of the blue or taking her out for a nice dinner or some other thoughtfull little gift goes along way.

She's bring it up for a reason, so you may want to look at the big picture. Maybe none of that applies to and she's doing it because
Then I say call her on that bull*****. If thats really true then she's doing it because she can get away with it.

 

Next time she starts ranting just tell her you'll buy her a tool box anytime she wants. I've got this crap from my g/f before (for line-x for god sakes) and I gently made the point that if she wants to sleep in the parking lot and carry me to work everyday I'll buy her line-x too.
God gave men trucks to make them happy then he gave them women to make sure they weren't too happy.

P.S. Flowers, even cheap ones out of the blue will save you a lot of headaches. I even use them for pre-emptive strikes. Half the time you can actually never even say "I'm sorry" if you just get her some flowers. Next time you spend money on the truck, drop a little on flowers too, that'll shut her cry hole.

 

Genius, I love this forum!
