Are you the man of your household? NSFW thread spinoff

[tonybolton]

I see the phrases:

"Momma says XXXXX has to go, will take best offer...."

"Wife says no more toys/too many toys...XXXXX needs to go...."

"Wife/girlfriend doesn't like....."

"Wife/girlfriend just gave the go ahead for a Saturday trip...."

"Momma said I could order my XXXXX this week!!"

....and etc., you get the point.

Do you guys that say this not wear the pants in the family? Can you not make educated adult decisions on your own? I'm not talkin' about bein' some Jerry Springer reject that makes your better half walk on all fours and ****/piss outside. Just sayin'. that if I want something and I can afford it.....I do it. I let my wife know what I am going to do, but by all means I don't ask for permission. She pretty much does the same thing....except for large $$$$ items.

Now granted, i'm nearing my 40's, and don't have any kids(don't want'em...if you have'em, thats great for you. Raise'em right!). Been with my wife for 9 years and married for 6. No ex-wives or anything. I see the above mentioned phrases pop up in EVERY hobby/forum i've ventured into. From autocrossing/open tracking, mountain biking, drag racing to now off roading.

Not trying to start a flame war on whos manly and whos not....just curious why this happens so often.

As for the porn/pix thing....hell...we send each other stuff!

She's got a shirtless Paul Walker as the background on her phone.....I've got some bikini slut pinned up in the garage she parks directly in front of.

Re:

Jus thought of this. ....maybe the wives / girlfriends won't let you reply! Hahaha

I've had one of those you speak of before. Not any more!! The way I look at it is if the bills are paid and the youngin has food if I want something and can afford it I'm gonna get it. Same way with the other half . Me and my wife have SEPERATE checking accounts. She works for her money and I work for mine. If she wants something she gets it and likewise . I work with a guy that wants a rc crawler so bad he can't stand it but his wife will not Let him have one. I told him to tell her she can't buy something and see how well that works out for him. Maybe some guys like being told what to do by the other half.

Re:

Now that's what I'm talkin bout!

Also....same here on separate checking/finacials.

It cracks me up when I hear the "I've been sneaking 5 and 10 dollars here and there my wife doesn't know about so I can get that XXXXX I've been wantin for a year!"

I'm like....REEEEEEE-LEEEEEEE? !?!!!

Re:

Another good line I've heard once was:

" won't be able to make it out this weekend guys... mama has a headache and don't think she'd like getting bounced around today."

I'd be like.... "heres the BC / Tylenol hope ya get better babe. Lemme know if ya want me to bring some grubb home on my way back."

It sounds like we have a couple of the same friends

 

[slytowncrawler2]

I'm 27 years old.... Been dating my 2year younger wife since her freshman year. We have two children.
If I see something and want it and can afford it, I get it.

Absolutely kills me to hear a grown man say "my wife said negative on that lift kit...tires...gun...etc"
Nine times outta ten there is a reason behind this. The guy has shitty decision making skills. He puts his family in tight situations because he "wants" something.
My wife has told my inlaws point blank before..... "Those axels he just bought he will double his money on, that's why I don't say nothing"

If i keep my folks fed and happy they could care less what I spend money on..... My two cents

Btw .....she knows better than to tell me I'm not going out. I hardly ever do anymore (work). she can ask me to stay home. But I'll be hell bent to do it if she tries to "tell" me I can't...... She learned that a loooong time ago

 

[slytowncrawler2]

Oh. We share bank accounts too. What's mine is hers an what's hers is mine. She pays bills I bring money home. I want a part ..... I call her "what's in account?" She checks ..... I tell her what to expect to come out so we don't go over in our checking. And she does the same of she wants something.

I have no passwords she doesn't know an like wise with her...... She knows I look at porn, just asks not to do it blatantly. Wich is except able I guess.....

 

[John Galbreath Jr.]

Not me!

I brought my motorhome before this one home. Still had old one sitting in driveway. It was over $100k. When I showed it to her, she asked where the coffee maker was. I told her it was still at Walmart. However, I do consult her for important decisions

 

[slytowncrawler2]

^^^^ exactly. I keep her in the loop we are a team. Works better like that

But if I see Dana 60 an 14 bolt for 300$ I don't have to/will not call home to check before I buy.

 

[GONOVRIT]

I could go on a rant about men giving up their rights and balls for HOURS! I don't blame the women as much as the spineless men that hand over their balls and man card. Been married for ten yrs. No kids, we're good, thanks. We do most everything together but don't have issues with each other going and doing their own thing. Joint accounts have always worked for us. We keep it honest. Here's what my September looks like;(partying refers to going out/bar hopping)
Sept. 6th going wheeling and partying in TN w/out her
13th she's going partying at the beach with her friends
20th I'm going wheelin and partying in PA w/out her
27th We're going to Dixie Run together and you guessed it, we'll be partying

 

[wont work]

Me and my wife have separate checking and one joint for all or bills. We each put same amount of money in every month and has worked for 7 years.

I dont just do what I want as far as going out and partying cause I do feel like my wife needs to go if im going to a bar but if I see something I want and have the money I get it. Just for example she was gone on vacation a few wks ago and calls telling me goodnight. She asked what I was doing in my truck at 10. Well what else would a guy being doing at that time of night on a Tuesday but driving to buy another motorcycle in North Al.

this!

we have great teamwork and understand each other quite well (married 18 years). If I want something and we can afford it, I tell her I'm buying it and she says ok. we definitely talk to each other about large purchases.

I definitely wear the pants when it comes to discipline though. she is strict and tough on the kids like I am, but they still get more nervous when she says "wait til your father gets home" 8)

 

[matth_85]

I think there are several different ways these terms are used:

1-Make the potential buyer feel like they are only selling because of this and there are no issues and that it is a deal.
2-Make their buddy think they aren't getting out of the sport/hobby for good.
3-They really are a ***** whipped mofo.

Re:

Haha my wife refuses to ride with me!! Last time she rode with me she said "I don't like you after 7 beers" I said well you quit likeing me 5 beers ago!! Then informed her she had to drive the sammi home with both front birfs busted cause I was wasted, at stop sign she had to backup twice to get it to turn left haha. We have a group account that goes to child care bills, food and living. We both have seperate accounts for play monies where we put our weekly allowances. I always end up getting money from her to buy crap cause i blow mine on the buggy. She never gripes and we dedicate one weekend a month that we all spend together camping or just chilling as a family, we have 1 little girl that is 7. We do pretty much what we want as long as the bills are paid and we share passwords and whatnot so nothing is really hidden from each other, oh yeah been married going on 12years and dated 8 damn we getting old!!

The wife and I have been together for 14 years and married for 10. We have joint everything and I handle all finances. She hates to shop and I like to buy parts. Works out great. She could care less what I buy or when I buy it as long as the bills are paid. You can't hardly beat her out of the truck when we go wheeling. She loves it. We also don't have any kids either which helps on the buying parts. She can be a little bit more of a nazi with time. She doesn't give a **** about money. I suppose you take the good with the bad. I would say it also helps keep me out of trouble because I can get a little wild. Don't get me wrong, I don't have to ask to go wheeling or to the lake. I also don't have to ask if she is going. Already know that answer. We like to look at our marriage as a 49/51 partnership. Someone has got to be the controlling share. I control the share in my house. I also don't have to fight about much of anything. As long as strippers aren't involved, she is the easiest person to get along with in the world.

 

[scrambled]

My wife told me not too long ago that she loves that I'm passionate about something (wheeling and the like). "How can I ask you to stop doing something you love so much"




I stopped and got her a Peanut Butter Twix on the way home for that comment.

I get that AND "that you work your ass off to afford nice things". she's very supportive even though she hates that it's an expensive sport/hobby

Sometimes being the man of the house means giving up childish things when you don't want to. I think sometimes boys with toys don't understand that.
