Yesterday I caught my wife kicking my landrover saying i spend more time and
money on my landrover than her.
She's started Calling it names like "pile of rust", "lump of sh*t"and so
on.When she walks past it on the drive sneakily scratches it or gives it a
kick. She has started checking mail and parcels etc to see what i am
spending or buying for my landrover.Just because i spend all my spare time
under my landrover doesn't mean i am a Gay W*nker does it....
Recently on holiday i took a pile of landrover mags to read and most of the
time was planning what i was going to do with my landrover when i get back.

Starting to get a bit worried myself should a healthy young (well youngish)
man be reading landrover mags in bed and dreaming about them. Anyway i can
feel her eyes burning in my back checking that i am not buying anything on
the internet for my landrover...

Do i need help or is this normal?

Welcome to the group :)
 
'Ello, newbie post here...

S'all right, very normal behaviour, though my husband feels the same way
sometimes when he finds me in bed reading the Haynes manuals!

Im luckly though, he's a bass and guitar junky, and has spent
faaaarrrrrrrrrr more money on those than I have on some thing that is at
least 'practical'
......and besides how else would he get his huge bass amps to the gigs other
than my 110 <bg>

has your wife got any 'foibles' that counter the landrovers...shoes?

I know a few Gay ****ers who are serious landie lovers. Superb
benefits include not having to worry about a missus who thinks you're
odd...

Actually, thinking about it, if it weren't for:

a: the sex
and
b: having to live a life in a world full of homophobic ****ers
and
c: Charlotte

I'd probably join them too...

Essentially, ditch the bitch and find a real woman (or man, or
whatever).

Life's too short for such minor frustrations.

After all, you'll spend more time under your landie than you'll ever
spend under your lover.

It's a phase. It comes and goes. I did 25 years racing
motorcycles and sometimes they were Nigel's toys
and treated like pets and sometimes they were the
evil spawn of Satan "You aren't going to mend that
thing are you? You're not out of plaster yet."

Men have toys and as we grow older they just get
bigger and more expensive. Sadly I don't have her
any more (cancer) but I'm sure she'd have things to
say about me covering a smart, expensive car in
three or four inches of mud but the damage added
up too far to stay with the bikes and I still need some
stupidity in my life.

> Do i need help or is this normal?

She needs help and you're the guy to give it. You need
to keep the two areas of you life seperate and learn to
switch from it to her in a click. The bike took more time
but I could drop the current job if called and go back to it.
Wives can't wait. They measure your priorities in response
speed and start to lose confidence when it goes down.
Don't make that mistake too often or you will regret it.

A woman can go shopping, come home and say:
"Sorry dear, I couldn't get you any cornflakes, I had to get Wheetabix, becouse they didn't have any shampoo"
AND expect you to accept that as a perfectly logical and reasonable statement.

Any women there: I dont need this explaining, thank you - I have had it explained five hundred times.

By women.

No, it is NOT a logical and reasonable statement, and NO it doesn't just go to show how unevolved and generally stupid the male genre is!

So, lads, first of all - you have to make accomodation, and allowance for the female psyce. It is not rational, it is not reasonable and if you expect and anticipate it to be so, then sorry, but you are only buying yourself trouble.

Now, pointing out all the time and money she may spend buying shoes, or getting her hair done, or looking at frocks, will not in any way provide counter to her objection to your Land Rover.

There are perfectly logical and reasonable and rational explanations for why it is acceptable for her to spend time and money on whatever, and YOU are probably one of them.

On the other hand, all the time and money you spend on your Land Rover is wholley unjustified, becouse it demonstrated how much time and money you have to spend and how little of it you choose to devote to her. End of Story.

It doesn't actually make any difference if your 'interest' is a Land Rover', and old sports car, the home computer, a motorbike, a sailing boat, fishing, golf, or making matchstick replicas of international monuments. In fact, for all she cares, it could as easily be cross stitch and 1940's musicals!

And to be honest, she would probably PREFER you to be having an affiar with another woman, as at least she could compete for your attension on a level ish playground - I mean, if it was another woman, she could go out and get a make over, buy some sexy langerie and ask "So what does she do for you I dont?"

But a Land Rover? What can she do to compete with that?

What can I say that might help?

Not a lot. That's women I'm afraid.

Nothing - she has to join in. My wife got a bit sick of me spending every
spare weekend trialling, so she decided to come along. She just loves the
driving, although everyone reckons she drives far too fast. She approves of
the V8, but would like a little more power. Last trial, she beat my score.
Funnily enough, when I need a hand fitting a new exhaust to the RR, lying
all afternoon on a wet gravel drive, she had "other things" to do.
