I agree with you on everything important in life.
You contradict yourself when you agree with a guy who calls me henpecked and makes assumptions with no basis
Agreed that the Dear Abbey article is BS but who really knows, people like to vent in public, see their letter make a news column.
But while that article may be fictitious or not, some replies here aren't
If the car hobby, owning driving them is life only ambition, if thats what is so totally important then one should have married a woman onboard with that or married a doormat who could be walked all over.
The story I told about the guy who had the perfect old car and how he lived is real and not some hand me down second hand story
I see this all the time, guys with high end big money cars and won't spend a dime on their kids education, family vacations and so on, their self interests come first and it would be no wonder their spouse complained
Thats a assumption that you cannot possible know
The justification that a husband isn’t blowing his pay check in a bar or gambling it away,drugs or cheating as a justification for anything is a nonsense excuse and that door swings both ways
Enjoy your car hobby
Spend time with the wife and show some interest in her and you shouldn’t have a issue when you want to do your own thing
Have your priorities in order
Don’t spend money on hobby cars that could be put to use for more important family things unless you can with out question afford it
And your wife wont be writing into Dear Abbey drama column
