Wife is pissed

Well that certainly explains your frustration.

But doesn't your scenario sort of ring true with the statement that you disagree with? You seem angry because she gets on you about buying car parts. Or painting a car or whatever.

So because she's not happy you aren't happy in that instance. Honestly if you think about it, it is a pretty true statement.

And I agree if you are providing everything then you should be able to get what you need if affordable, I don't see the problem.

My wife doesn't work either, when I get something she doesn't complain, often, lol, but I have just the opposite problem when she needs something I have to make her go get it, or get it for her.

Yes the statement is true. I just hate it is all. Women are very hard to figure out at least for me anyway. If I spend 80 hours working during the week I am cool as can be but spend 2 full days in the shop I custom built for the purpose of my hobby and I get a ration of bullshit. I'm just sick of the crap. Funny when we built the house she helped design the whole enchilada. Now that I actually use it she no likely. Crock of chit and that's exactly what I told her. That shop cost me almost 200k to build and I'm gunna use it when I have the time no matter what she says. So when a new car shows up, parts etc she knows that's a sign I'm gunna be in the shop away from her and she just don't like it. Been doing this my whole life, I'm not going to give it up now. I don't go to bars, drink at all, don't smoke or do drugs and I don't screw around on her either. If I'm not working I'm with her or the kids or both or messing with my hobby.
