Wife Acceptance Factor

[Grannygrinder]

.

Out of sight out of mind. If she doesn't see it she forgets i've got it
But if its the kitchen while i'm at work it ends up in the garden rain or shine :?

to keep her sweet this year i gave the wife her own car, gave her £5,000 cash when i came into some money, bought her a £1,500 ring and promised her a trip to new york this year........yet she still moans when i say another bike is on its way :?

Hitchcock had the right idea with 'Strangers on a Train'! :twisted:

[saltyman]

she doesnt even work, im the sole breadwinner and very rarely have any time off work.

i say if i wasnt interested in bikes i could always be a gambler, alcoholic, cheater or whatever of she wanted she still doesnt get it......

Luckily, my wife has an acceptance factor near inifinity.
I can drag home whatever I please and she doesn't mind.
On the other hand, I don't count her handbags or shoes, so there must be some kind of AF going the other way, too

Married for 15 years and never had an argument

I keep it simple.













No wife.

Yep - and I tell my OH there's worse things a girl can do when he complains about my bikes taking over the house - at least he knows where I am when I'm working on one!

And Saltyman - you sound like a man in a million - suspect your OH doesn't know which side her bread's buttered.

There's a very similar wife factor in my other hobby, rifle shooting. When a mate buys a brand new Sako TRG or Accuracy International for three grand plus, they just whisk it passed the wife quickly saying, 'This old thing, love? Nah, bought it second hand off a mate on the forum' and hope she never looks at it too closely .
