PH'ers and their other halves

[vixpy1]

How much is your life ruled by what your other half says you can and can't do?

Say you like doing something but your other half disagrees, would you stop? (No OXO jokes here please :D)

[towman]

Only when her eyes start watering.....

Bugger!

Respect her wishes as she respects mine, so usually no problem. She`s not too keen on hooning though, so I usually tone it down a bit when she is in the passenger seat.

[zetec]

Most haunted is on tonight.

I won't get much say in what to watch on telly

[grass widow]

Can't say I've ever stopped my other half from doing anything, hence where he is now, fullfilling a boyhood dream of running around with guns.

Therefore I have spent half of my married life on my own. Stopping people doing something they really want to do just breeds resentment, and it never goes away.

He's never stopped me from doing things........mind you he's rarely here to see

[love machine]

I never have any time for controlling women, I just don't listen. My last bird just used to nag, nag, nag and in the end she ditched me.

Got a replacement and I would just do anything she says.

my recent ex always banged on at me about drinking less, stopping smoking, and moving down to oxford to be closer to her. 1 acheived, 2 nope, i will give up for me, and 3 beyond my power.

so we split up. bugger, guess there has to be a BIT of give and take.

Rearrange these words to get a mental picture

You and me both mate. What a pile of old crap that show is.

Mrs Miniman barely tolerates my collection of cars. I'm currently winding her up about getting an old Land Rover to go with the other 4

I get a thumb mark on my forehead on money front, and i get very little to say on TV as well as long i booked the tv which i rarely do. but anything on that. i am free as bird....

[Docevi1]

aha, this the benefit of been single

[Zod]

I like to pretend to be under the thumb, but I have bought in the last four years, without consultation:

Our flat (!)
Four cars
HiFi (she came along for the intial purchase, but I've since more than doubled the price with upgrades)
New 37" LCD
and the rest

[tvrbob]

Pretty much like the same things. We both like cars, driving, watching, working on, etc. We enjoy the same movies, music, drink; we share the same friends. Life's pretty easy going for me and 'Stardust'. The only problem is that she often likes to borrow my TVR.

Yu sure that she is actually a woman?

[GetCarter]

Mrs Get is cool about everything.

Except reversing. So I let her do that.

[Byff]

Bit of give and take, I do the givin and she does the takin.

Except where TV is concerned, she watches Coronation St and the rest is what I want to watch.

[pantscat]

<sniff>
I'm not allowed a motorbike... or a TVR... (meep!)
All because of the very remote chance that I'll kill myself... But for some strange reason a "premium brand" car (Audi, BMW, Volvo etc) with 240+bhp would be okay...
</sniff>

Oh well... when I move to a house with a garage I think there is quite a high chance a TVR may suddenly appear one day...

[Mrs Fish]

We never stop each other doing anything. In fact fish has just booked a skiing holiday with the boys for March.

This is the key to a happy relationship.

Susie and I have been married for over a decade and it seems to work pretty well.

She raises no objections when I feel the need to buy a daft car, indeed she seems to enjoy the fact that it makes me happy.

She approved of the Esprit, then the Griffith and has now given the green light for a couple of Minis and an old Ferrari.

She growls occasionally when I drink too much plonk and would like me to be a stone less heavy, but on the whole I get off pretty lightly compared to many I know.

I'm just off to ask my wife if I am allowed to post on this thread.

[mxdi]

He does his thing and I dont stop him, I do mine thing, but have less of 'my things' to do (I have a sadder life )
I'd be a bit miffed if he went on holiday without me, but then thats the way we are, we spend lots of time together.
