Please help me before I'm divorced

Stop the insanity, since I got my 05 that is all that matters. Tim, beings I'm a FTE supporter do I get a discount on therapy or marriage counseling my wife is now starting to wonder what is more important my truck or her. I need help, of course my truck is more important. Do anyone have an extra room and a big parking space for rent.

As long as I pretend it doesn't bother me when my wife drives my truck she doesn't get too upset. Try and limit your hobbies.. if you mess with your truck but don't do anything else bad, then what's the big deal? Could be WAY worse for her.

I try to blow my wife off like this:

Me: "Dear, but you have to understand, it's a company rig, you're not insured to drive it" *shrugging my shoulders*

Wife: "Ya, but you own the company you idiot. Gimme the keys!"

And as you can see, it doesn't work.

I appreciate all of the great advice. I think I'm going to print these and give them to her to read. She doesn't really want to drive it, she just has a little problem with the time and money spent. She really flipped after I put the headrest screens in the seats, beings I already had 2 screens in the truck. She got over it for now.

Big Ford,

The front badge and the tailgate F-350 badge were made by Steve at billetbadges.com. The other badges are just stock with the paint removed.

Your not too bad off--My wife started hyperventilating when she found out that I bought Banks complete Power Pack. Lucky she didn't call her father, he would've helped her move out. I ended up keeping the gauges, BD Turbine outlet pipe and transcommand unit I already installed, but cancelled my order for everything else. Not because she threatened to divorce me, but because I was soon to be unemployed! She was right though...not a week after I returned the stuff, my torque converter blew up and I wouldn't have had the money to fix it otherwise. She's got a good head, I guess that's why I married her. She still won't drive the truck though! She's still mad I even bought it in the first place! I guess my point is: pick your battles. Oh yeah, If you can make up a valid SOUNDING reason for something sometimes it helps.
