help in the “convincing” my wife

[Bob Ledford]

I am man I am in charge syndrome

:roflblack::roflblack:, the fact that your wife still as you believing that you're still in charge is a testament that you're not. Only once you realize that you're not in charge can you only start to control the out of charge situation.

I hope you realize that by making that statement that you just set your self up for a whole bunch of good natured ribbing! At our house we both think we are in charge. But we have a different set of rules. She has her money and I have mine. She buys what she wants and she pays for it. Likewise I do the same. It has worked well for us. The big household items we confer on before pooling assets to buy. I think if more people did it this way there would be a whole lot more happy marriages in this world.

You can be in charge if you want I don't want to be....

Safety, safety, saftey so you can be around to spend precious time with her on and off the :spyder2:. Get a catalog and just ask for her thoughts on colors, and point out that the RT has sooooo much more on it and what does SHE think about it. Let her know you value her thoughts...nice dinner.....then get flowers from Wally World for her for no reason and just smile.....let her know you are interested and how about just looking at some...note just looking then have her sit on one and hopefully there is a rebate sign up so... SALE$$$$ save money....say WOW look at that and trade in.... just a ladies thoughts. Also what a great Fathers day gift it would be, and you would skip getting a birthday and Christmas gift as well.....

You want to do more long traveling (with her). And to spend more time with her and want her to be more included in your hobby than she already is. And the RT is the best way for you both to build your relationship "comfortably."

:clap: Oh, you are really good :bowdown: I read this and I wanted to run out and buy an RT.

We have similar arrangement, I have my money to spend on what I want, she has her money and my money to spend on what's she wants. The big household items we confer and I buy what's she decides... Not much difference.

But to make it very clear, I wear the pants in our house, I just have to ask her where they are.

oh don't know about that, I still haven't told my wife what I've been up to :yikes: 2013 ST-S coming in 5 weeks....

 

[bamaspyder1]

Just bite the bullet, stomp you feet and wail loudly screaming I will commit suicide if I can not have a new Spyder RTL. If she hands you a loaded gun go to the next step. Tell her it will mess up the living room rug. If that does not change her mind. Well we tried!

you could buy her a new Cadillac SRX in red metallic

Hey my Ultra Classic cost me a Caddy CTS :roflblack:

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Just go buy it and surprise her!

I live by this. And its worked for 20 years with my wonderful wife.

I sorta went along this line of thought when I surprised Sandy for Mother's Day in 2010..... With the comm system, we spend lots of quality time pondering life's mysteries and enjoying our time together... I'm a very lucky guy to have her in my life, and she reminds me of that frequently!!

Ok my Spyder lover friends, I need your help. I need help in the “convincing” my wife I NEED a 2013 RT SE5 Limited. My current ride is a 2009 SM5 with lots of mods. Her side of the story “you have so much vested in your Spyder”. So Please Help, give me your witty words you guys / gals are so good at coming up with and let’s see if this works and I can bring home a new Spdyer to my garage. :shemademe_smilie:

Seems we both need some help convincing ! I need help convincing Arntufun that our 08' SM5 is NOT an RT Limited !!!:helpsmilie:

Update

Here’s an update folks. After she read this post and laughed the entire time. She said HMMM not sure if I should hit you or laugh harder (she did both ) :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.

Then she said "you do what you want t, you work hard for your money and if that’s what you want to do then go but do they make a Spyder for entire family (5)" I'm not sure if that is a guilt trip play but.......... later I over hear her talking to swimming pool company on getting a quote for an in ground swimming pool. So it sounds like I just may get an RTL but it going to cost me a pool. I'm thinking it is worth it...... after all she works hard too everyone WINS. She also added that she thinks a Spyder for 5 would look like a banana. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:Ha ha yes my current RT is yellow
