Sometimes I let this go but I wonder what 2 do at times.

My wife keeps calling my car Garbage and the Ford Contour isnâ??t worth being "FIXED UP" but I like my car , anyway she would rather me have a Audi A4 or something in them lines .

Every time I do something real nice I have to beg her to even take a 2 second look at it, then she shakes her head and say's " wasting of time " this really ticks me off !!

I know I should just ignore her but damn, it would be nice to have a little nice input from her.....

Is anyone in this same spot?

If you want your wife to be excited, plant some flowers or dust the shelves. Fixing up your car is NOT the way to get her attention.

Maybe you can try to get her involved in it somehow. If she understands what it's all about, maybe then she'll realize what it means to you. Then again, I'm single so what do I know?

I think Buckshot77 has a lot of experience in this situation.

I finally learned if you can't beat him join him. I'm really not a car fan but I love my hubby and I have made some awesome friends here. Hell I even put the DFW CEG meet we had last night together.

Good luck.

How about you PLANT your foot off in her ass. Then she'll notice.

As Kelly stated, someone that loves you will take up some sort of interest in your hobby. She may not live and breathe it like you do, but you understand.

But you have to do the same for her handbag fetish, or whatever she digs. Compromise is a good thing.

Before we go into this whole chauvonist argument and etc, let me just go out on a limb and make a bold statement: there are just as many stupid, immature, outspoken women in this world as there are stupid, immature, and outspoken men.

I've at one point or another in my young and soon to be CEG-flamed life argued to the affect that most woman are less mature than men in regards to common sense, but even to someone as outspoken as I it would seem that this statement is quite unfair and presumptuous.

I would still rather contend that for the majority, men gain a greater dose of common sense faster than woman as the typical "naturally stronger, less beautiful" (ha) nomenclature usually involves us having to grow up faster, get a job, face the reality of loss and gain sooner, and experience the harsh reality of life in a much more hauntingly painful way; in the grand scheme of things, however, and I'm sure many of you here would fail to agree with me, women are generally the more responsible and sensible ones.

Responsible and sensible ... Their loss I suppose
