ok, so i am so steamed i could spit nails. checked the bank account a little while ago, and we're missing $200 for a money order. (i do this a couple of times a week to make sure everything stays on the up and up.) i didn't buy it, so i call the wife, and she used it to pay for a speeding ticket she got a month ago, and neglected to tell me about. not only that...it was for 86 mph in a 70 zone. i simply can't wait until her insurance comes due again. i am sure that it is going to be just lovely.

the thing that really gets me, is that we have been married for a little over 2 years and in all that time, i have been telling her that she drives too freakin' fast. she drives a little econo box escort, and if she were to have a blow out or accident at that speed, they'd be scraping a greasy spot up on the road. why in world can i not get that through to her?!

Take it out of her allowance.

 

You've already lost my friend....

barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen any other condition is a recipe for disaster.




'scue me....gotta go check the laundry....the wife wants pork chops tonight so I gotta get them defrosted.

Be back later.

 

Divorce Her!

j/k.

But IMO, it's time for a little heart-to-heart about why you feel the need to control her driving habits and why she is hiding things from you and sneaking money out of joint accounts.

 

yep

 

why not just take the car to the dealer to get the speed limitor set to 70mph? Worst case is she gets a ticket on a sidestreet for 70mph in a 35/45 zone...

Crap, I forgot to add pork chops to my grocery list! Thanks guys!

 

I've tried to reply to this thread three times and backed out of it each time.

Everytime I ended up tearing matt a new one and it ain't none of my damn business.

 

I think your wav over-reacting. Take a chill pill. Speeding should be in every man's blood.

 

keep an open mind.

Next time it could be you getting the ticket.

And you certainly don't want your wife's pot calling your kettle black.


That, and I'm sure at some point you will make a mistake that will cost the family $200.

Marriage is about give and take, understanding and forgiveness.



Or you can just head down to your lawyer and draw up the papers now because there is no point continuing this marriage.

 

Relax man..... She just didn't want to get you mad. I'm not saying she was right in doing so but, we all F-Up from time to time..... Just some more than others

Cut her a little slack.........

 

make her work it off in the bedroom.

 

I like Vader's idea.
I just don't like to see someone get bent out of shape over something silly like this. It's things like that that cost me my 4-yr relationship.

 

its not so much the money as the fact that i have been doing my best to get her to slow down for the last 2 years. it feels a lot like she doesn't have a great deal of respect for me and what i think has just been discounted...that is she knows whats best, and no one can tell her anything different.

maybe i am over reacting, but this has really bugged me all day. i know she didn't tell me that this happened a month ago, 'cause it turned around and bit her in the butt, and she didn't want to admit that i'd been right.

arghh!

Hmmm, she DOES sound a lot like you. You know, stubborn, free-thinking, independent, etc.

I'd be slow to bite her head off about it. Your turn is just around the corner. Think of it as banking karma.

 

Yup, welcome to the wonderful institution of marriage. As a 23 year veteran of this I can tell you your frustrations are just beginning. If you let every annoyance get to you you'll need drugs to keep sane!!!!! Sorry I digress. Try to forgive and forget. You'll be better off later. R81
