    Explain that you don't want sex with the car. And that her in a cute little nightie will always get your attention away from the car.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    if she doesnt understand your love for your car let her leave you, she aint the woman for you. thats why before i get married i am going to make it perfectly clear to my potential wife that i'm never selling my grand prix and whatever other project cars i may have and if she tries to make me she can hit the road lol, and if she thinks that i love them more than her she can hit the road lol.

    another thing you could say would be "i didnt marry my car i married you" if you really want her to stay. and if you have kids obviously work it out lol. but if its just you and her and she has issues with you loving your car and doesnt understand then if i were you i would say "dont let the door hit you on the way out" lol

    My daughter means the world to me now that she has come along. greatest little baby one could hope for. I have stopped modding now that she is with us but the wife is pissed that I even put extra money into it in the first place. I am paying for her mini van, her student loan plus my cay payment and all of the bills that go with a house on my income. I find that stressful for some reason and kinda expect her to do house hold chores. I help out ocasionly but it takes a bit of badgering from the wife to get me to do stuff I think she should be doing.

    She sounds like she's milking you and keeping you from having any fun. You're not even THAT modded to consider it to take a huge dent into your cash. If I read that right, I'm assuming she doesn't work?..

    Okay now I get it.

    And because I do, I cannot offer any suggestions.

    However, perspective: You literally have peanuts into that car compared to the cost of living in Canada.

    Only question remains: Is she in school, working, or neither?

    She finished university and now a stay at home mom after the baby was born. She does not get maternity leave because she was self imployed before the baby arived. I could clean the mirror in the master bathroom tonight, its looking pretty bad.

    She no work - she no right to complain

    rafff rafff rafff


    My GF and I don't have any kids yet (foreseeable future maybe, but not now) but considering I work full time and she is in school living with me, she does the chores because I pay bills. It is understood there needs to be a balance. From time to time I will help out with dishes and whatnot, say if she is studying for a test and its getting late I will cook and do the dishes, but most of the rest of the house she maintains. Bills come first and leftover gets to be played with, sometimes I get lucky and get to throw money at the car because she lets me have my way. You need to put your foot down and set her straight. She doesn't have to be a slave or anything, but if there is free money it should be discussed where it goes and sometimes you need to get what you want.

    I don't know how it works in the northern country but most states in the US if she leaves you and has no place or job she won't get the kid, she will give up that right being unfit for the child. So its really her choice, you and the daughter or weekend visitation rights.

    Keep your pimp hand strong :P

    Not necessarily. I've known several money grubbing but very monogamous women in my day. She just probably wants the money and to feel empowered. Altho, if you don't put your foot down and show her who is man of the castle she may think she can get what she wants and then will lead to "banging another dude on the side".
