I'm gonna have to rep you for this one...hilarious...

Seriously, If you're not happy...watch your step!

 

Seriously??? Nuff said right there!!

 

I think that you've answered your own question. If it was me I'd pack it up and not look back. Talking isn't going to be a long term solution so run while you can.

 

Thanks man!

 

Nice rig dude, I'd the old truck any day over woman who feels threatened by it.

 

This is excellent advice. What you need to do at the very least is put the relationship on hold (getting out would be better for you and more fair for her) until you figure out why you get into such relationships. This is not to say something is wrong with either of you but it is obvious that you two are not compatable. While it may not seem manly, professional counseling can be a huge help. There is no shame in getting help when you need it.

 

She sounds too controlling to have a happy life with her. If she doesn't respect your life-style, then she doesn't respect you. And most importantly, if she doesn't repect your truck, then she deffinately doesn't respect you. It sounds like you know where this is going and what is in store for the future. You are in control of your own life...no one else should be. Just my two cents. Good luck.

I understand that I spend a LOT of time on here, but it is to better my knowledge....Simply put.....And don't get me wrong, she can be a bit pushy sometimes, but she seems to slack off when I blow my stack; Unlike the ex-wife-She would just pour more fuel on.....

I don't wanna give the "wrong" impression: She is a great girl, and I love her to death......But I am a very edgy person as is....And she does irritate the crap outta me sometimes....But I am sure I do the very same to her.....Its not a one way street....But I don't tell her to NOT do something she loves.....

Although she did kinda make up a bit....She bought me a 1956 F-100 and a 1948 F-1 Diecast Model pickups......

I know, I know; Don't let the buying stuff cloud my judgement, etc, etc....But she seems to have slacked off....For now.

If she starts again and keeps it up....Then I'll have to reconsider...

That's her way of telling you the extent of your truck infatuation is now going to be tiny die-cast models. It's the beginning of the end.

I'm guessing you've been laid within the last 48 hours.

You can count on that my friend. Once a nag, always a nag.

Good luck nonetheless but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

LOL.....I ain't a holdin' my breath.....lol

This is a problem, if you have to get to that point for her to get it, it will continue. Communication is key in a relationship. Sure, it can take time to figure each other out, but it should not require regular blow outs...
And this is also a problem, she doesn't respect you enough to let you do something you love, so what else will she deny you that you love? It may be a little bit of a make-up, but it may also be a bit how she sees it as well...

 

I've seen this several times in my friends relationships. They never last.

One friend is going through a divorce now (with 2 kids), because his wife does not understand his truck and gun hobby.

Another friend has been fighting with his GF for a long time now, and just last night she threw her drink in his face and walked out.


Please, just save youself the trouble and get out of it. You realize that she is not 'the one'. Hell...you realize there is something wrong, or else you would not have came here. A woman doesn't have to necessarily dive into your hobby with you, but if it's going to last, she damn sure shouldn't kill your dreams and expect you to drop everything for her every time.

Is that not the point of dating? To find someone you enjoy being with, sharing common interests, and to spend the rest of your life with...happy.

 

I will also add this.

A relationship is a two way street. A man's hobby can't turn into an obsession without getting his significant other somewhat involved.

In other words, we can't can't just go hunting, fishing, four wheelin' and hangin' with our buds and expect to come home to supper, clean clothes and a horny / happy woman all the time. Would this be a man's utopia?

My brother in law and sister are entering a divorce right now because as far as he's concerned, he should be able to do ever in the hell he wants while she plays the good little wifey. Wrong answer guys.

We all need our space and our individuality, but offer to include your ladies in what your doing. They may enjoy it, they may be damned good at it and most importantly, they will know you care about them more than your guns and trucks and drinking buddies.

I'm far from being PW. We share most everything.

 

I think I would run away from this one. I can't see it lasting. You will not be able to do anything unless it involves or suits her needs.

Certainly a frank no pointing fingers discussion is in order.

I do what I want to my truck, my better half shakes her head sometimes but it is mine. She does her stuff and I shake my head sometimes but she does her stuff.

You each have to be allowed to do your own thing but also have mutual interests besides in the bedroom.

Certainly a lot longer dating period is in order. Mine has been 5 years. We are getting hitched next spring.

 

This! My g/f and I do have our separate interests but, we also have come to share to some extent in each other's passions. I'm an avid cyclist (road bike, mountain bike, etc...) and when we met she was not but, she decided to give it a try (at my urging) and quickly came to enjoy it almost as much as I do. She on the other hand is an avid equestrian and, while I can generally recognize a horse when I see one, my horse experiences have been rather more limited (nothing against them, just never really got into it) but... she likes to go riding soooo... now we go riding together and, while it'll never be the high point of my life, it is fun and, because it's something we can do together that makes it even better.

We do our own things at times (she's an artist so she'll disappear into the studio for hours on end some days, I like to go for solo long distance runs to clear my mind and refresh my body) and having some individual time of our own has helped greatly but, we still try to share in each other's activities as much as possible. It's a balance and we don't always get it just right but, we do try to keep things evened out (one weekend roadtrip might be to some state park she really wants to visit, the next roadtrip will be to go see some old friends of mine that I haven't seen in years, etc...).
