I am in big trouble

[overlordofmars]

OK I just bought a M211, well I won an auction and ended up with another truck today. MY wife to be will be back today, she does not know yet. She is Irish and has a temper, Does any one have a bomb shelter I can hide in?

Here are pictures of the truck.

Its a military blazer, the radiator is missing, but it has almost brand new tires on it.
The body is mint with no rust.

I did not expect to get this, I only bid $550.00.

If she doesn't have the ring yet, she will be more likely to tolerate this behavior. If she is like my first wife WAS, she will just smile and let it go. It's after she gets the ring that rules are set and things change. Buy all your toys now.

Wives wear down eventually. I've been buyting/swapping/fixing trucks for 35 years, married for 23, God bless her, we all have our faults lol. NICE score btw.

Apparently, you don't file your taxes as "Head of Household", do you.

Sounds like you now need to bid on a M109A3 lol

 

[Katahdin]

I understand your situation. I've bid on two GL items without consulting my wife, those did not go over well....and exponentially worse when you actually win the item. The auctions that I consulted were much better....she at least knows I love planning the expeditions to retrieve the stuff.

The absolute worst incident was a pistol I bought without telling her....she found out at a gun-club-pot-luck supper when the dealer who sold it to me brought it up..... That was the longest car ride home in my life.....and we lived only 1.5 miles away!

marrige is the number one cause of divorce. Blckdblnckl is right though. everything seems real cool until she gets a ring... then the crazyness comes out. this is the exact reason you dont tell her, "you spent how much for those shoes?" it works both ways. just be happy shes happy and you're happy. next good purchase might be a confortable couch if you dont have one allready. haha!

...remember...

There is an old adage..."Better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission." Since you are not yet hitched...I agree...buy your stuff NOW...!!! After being run over by a semi on my Harley...and live to tell about it....my lovely wife of 20 yrs. (at the time)...stood out of crutch range,shook her finger at me and stated..."You WILL get rid of that Harley,the guns (I was a class #7 Mfg.),etc..." Waited calmly,asked her if she was done. Then pointed at the front door and told her if she did not like the way I ran things (she did not work outside home,I had paid for Catholic education for three kids,house was paid for and I had been working three jobs for 17 yrs.)...she should hit the door and not look back. That was the last time she said a WORD about my management of our lives. We have been married now for 43 yrs....and I have FA guns,armor and ammo stacked everywhere. Set your foot down as 'man-of-the-house' and let her know where you stand....NOW...before anything else happens. OR...you will regret it for the rest of your miserable life.... Just saying....it works for the most part.....LOL....see avatar...

And now DH owes me a new keyboard.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

You got some 'splainin' to do

Just help her to understand that the M211 needs a "support vehicle". Being a woman, she'll understand.

BTW: I agree with DH's "head of household" comments. Soldier up, son.

Trucks are cheap, Divorce is expensive.
Choose the trucks and find a woman who also chooses trucks.

 

[big1096]

I agree with the above. If you bend now, you'll be bending over for your whole marriage. That's why I'm single.... Well, I am now anyway.

Aaaaa, $550, no big whoop!

I dated a girl back in the early '90's for about 2 1/2 years. About the same time I was getting into the hobby of large scale garden railroading. Well, every time I would by a new addition to my newly found pastime, she would have an absolute conniption fit. But being as it may, every time I bought something nice for her there was never a quibble. Needless to say, at the end of it all, I went out bought a brand new sport coupe, just for the spite factor and said "See ya'." Best move I ever made.

My wife now just pretty much rolls with it. I tend to be a little passive aggressive about the whole thing if she flies off the handle. I do tell her at times that at least I'm not hangin' out at the sports bar, drinkin' booze and chasin' other women.

 

[wreckerman893]

One of my ex-wives told me I needed a new hobby since MV's were so expensive.....I said "how about drinking and hookers......would that work better for you?"

The subject was dropped at that point......for a while.

 

[Floridianson]

Is she related to Lorania Bobbett? You could be in trouble so sleep with one eye open and your crotch covered.

 

[PaulbusMax]

Man, somebody hacked your password and bought a truck. It wasn't your fault! The dog ate my homework! I had a flat tire! By the way, i like the IH scout in the background.

 

[zak]

Ask her why she needs so many shoes, or why she buys so much makeup...or the killer," Honey are you gaining weight?"

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Just this past Sunday, Wreckerman & Elmo played this on their Radio Show for us....

OH! It rings SOOOOO TRUE !
