tried to come between you and your Vette ? my wife always has some look on her face or something negative to say whenever she sees me doing something with the Vette, like a new mod,fix,or improvement. usually i ignore her,but it eats at me. im not ignoring any bills and havent been a day late with one since we married (one year) nothing neglected at home, i speak to her and she cant seem to justify her attitude(shes isnt reading this) so i geuss its just MYOB for now

actually,mine just knows that no matter what she says,i'm doing it anyway!but i still get the look sometimes so,i buy her a gift...after i spent like 10-12 grand modding the 95 i had,she knows i'm hopeless when it comes to this stuff!!!

Just tell her that at least she knows what you are doing and where you are. You could be a lot of other places doing a lot of things with a lot of people if you wanted to...but you are at home making your Vette more suitable for her to ride in when you take her places.

Mine says I care more about my car than her sometimes!

The gift thing works! My wife knows that cars are my thing. So she gives me space, and I give her a gift. It keeps her happy. The nice thing is that she's a car gal to.

My wife arranged getting the Vette for me and she's been fully supportive of my addiction since then.

I do not have that problem, in fact my wife buys stuff for me for the Vette

She just can't relate. If you saw her arrange, then re-arrange, admire, add to, replace her beloved collection of shoes you might get a feel for how she feels. My husband couldn't care less about my 'vette (or prior ones)... but he laughs when he stumbles upon me in the garage detailing under the hood. I've never gotten the feeling he's resentful, or that he might feel I'm taking time from him/home/kids. If that's the way she's feeling, and you're truly not doing that, it might be a maturity issue on her end of things.

My girlfriend could care less, and actually encourages me to buy things sometimes. I also always ask for her input in the looks of things Thats why I think I should marry her.

newyiddy20

theres some truth there...i never get involved in her "hobbies" unless she asks me to. i dont complain when she spends moneys on what she deems important,i even help her out financially when she needs it. that why it bothers me sometimes, live and learn, but i often wonder though, who would go first ? hmmmmm

It probably won't come to making a choice. I hope, anyway! She's just jealous of the time you spend with the car (could be a LOT worse!)....taking it personally. She'll come around.

My wife "understands" my automotive passions, and tolerates, I think, pretty well. In fact, she helped last nite install blackouts on my taillights. A comment a long time ago was 'if I got as much attention as (place vehicle style here), I would be the happiest person on this earth'. After almost 26 years of marriage, she tolerates things well. Occasionally I hear about my dropping everything to help a buddy do some work, but I always come home. Something comforting. In my book she is an
