Question for guys who say "my wife won't let me"

Perhaps I misunderstood. If you are saying "we discuss large purchasss" then I agree with you.

What I read was "I say things like, my wife said I can't have it" and then thought you said that was a form of respect.
Oh no, I tell her all the time bye whatever she wants, I normally do the same. Time is the bigger issue now than money. I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor, rich is better! Staying married keeps it that way. ???
 
Thats one I could never understand.

Why in the name of you know who, would you want to stick it in a shit tube that stinks, when 1.5"-2" away is the honey pot?

Am I being a prude?

What happened to the gal who was chiming in for the last few weeks? ;)

Sounds like you never ate ass before , drives the chick wild. Tooth paste will remove any shit stains left on your teeth.
 
I don't have the problem. I periodically make excessive/dumb choices. My Wife lets me know she's in the loop. When she grumbles, she's almost always always right on target. She's valuable participant in the process; and I can use the second set of eyes and opinions.

Going on 49 years married in July.

My wife won't let me so I don't fucking tell her, I just do it my $$$ my house my farm my bank account..... In 2 days the bitching is over. This all started with my 383 stroked m-21 1970 Chevy Nova when I wanted one way back in 2005. She butches we need thing for the house tile the kitchen remodel the bathroom...... Built a new pole barn 1 year earlier that's where my hotrod lived. The house got done also...
 
Me and my buddy used to play the "I'll get one if you get one" game. He had to stop after the last go 'round (turbocharged compact hatchbacks). That was three years ago and his wife still hasn't shut up about it.
He still buys stuff, just has to use his "secret" fund and hope she doesn't find out.
 
A lot of valid responses above. I think sometimes "the wife" just represents that it is a better time to focus on more immediately practical things and sometimes it means "we are still recovering from the last monumentally stupid thing I bought (Boat or airplane)"

I gotta say, there are a heck of a lot of 'different' ways to be married, it seems. To each their own, I guess.

The way our system works here, is that My Lady and I work together as a team. She's my best friend, and that's how it all started out. At the range, going to the club, rides, and rally's. The fact that we met in the same classes at university was a great start to begin with.

Then I was in the accident, and she didn't leave my side/room at the hospital for my whole stay (some weeks) whilst I was in there. She left the hospital late at night, and came back in the morning. Upon release, she was at my house (renting) each day taking care of my needs. [realize that this is all what I've been told, salted in there with a few 'flashbulb memories' because of my MTBI. I have practically NO knowlege/memory of this time, for months] I had an income coming in, she took over and paid all the bills, and did everything that needed to be done. A month before the accident, my dog had puppies, and she took care of them too.

And then, later that year my income stopped. (wrongfully) and we went for over a year without ANY income. That was rough, believe me. She did everything she could to help out, and get me/us through this. Realize that she was still living at home with her parents, and drove back and forth each day. Or got dropped off/picked up, depending on circumstances.

As stated, it was over a year before things finally got straightened out, and my income continued. It was with that back-pay that she pushed me to buy the house after paying back all the previous debt incurred. Then, like Veer was mentioning, there was "4 figures" left over and she made me call GA Precision. There was enough for glass and a Dillon XL 650 too, originally.

Then, a few weeks later we got hit again, and I (RESPONSIBLY) cancelled the glass and Dillon order. The GAP deal was already paid for, and importing procedures had already begun with the State Department.

So yeah, this is almost a decade and a half ago, and we're still going strong. There's been ALL KINDS of drama, chaos, and mayhem involved. Some of you will remember the "I'm Smarter Now" thread that is still going on daily here. But yeah, we work as a team to do what is needed, and the funds go to where they're needed most, first. Each day we need a roof over our heads, light/water/heat as well as a vehicle and fuel for such. If there's anything left over, then some gets put aside, and we may order a pizza once in a while.

But daily life is DEFINITELY worth living, here. How about at your house?

And it was My Lady that wanted a bigger boat. THAT came from my Best-Man....

Who says I'm not Blessed?

Man is to be the head of the household and to rule his house with just authority. A man who denies this position of authority denies God's ordained order. If God did not intend for men to have power over women then why did he make them more powerful?

Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

1 Peter 3:5-6 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

1 Timothy 2:11-15 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2:9-14 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Esther 1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.

Titus 2:4-5 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

1 Corinthians 11:7-9 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Esther 1:22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

I doubt the phrase "my wife won't let me" was ever uttered by your great grandfathers. Take your mantle as ruler of your house as God commands.
 
With authority comes responsibility. A man is called to provide for his household. - 1 Timothy 5.8 - But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Any man who says "my wife won't let me" is ruled by his wife and is the very definition of effeminate.

EFFEM'INATE, adjective

1. (a.) Having some characteristic of a woman, as delicacy, luxuriousness, etc.; soft or delicate to an unmanly degree; womanish; weak.
2. (a.) Womanlike; womanly; tender; -- in a good sense.
3. (v. t.) To make womanish; to make soft and delicate; to weaken.
4. (v. i.) To grow womanish or weak.

1 Corinthians 6.9-10 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
 
I can honestly say that I have never experienced this. I doubt that I would have the balls to admit it if I had! My Wife has always been supportive. Of my hobbies, my job, everything. It helps that I have always been the main bread winner. It also helps that I have always been responsible. If I couldn't afford it I didn't have to have someone else tell me. We discuss major purchases. Things like cars, trucks, tractors. Lesser stuff we just buy, if we want it and can afford it.

Wife and I own a piece of land, and a CUT would be really helpful for what we do and want to do there.

Priced out a new Kubota BX2680 with loader and box blade, and my wife said “Don’t you dare.”

Affording it wasn’t the issue - stroke a check and not blink but the 0% for 60mo made opportunity cost of cash a factor. And my wife would probably use the damn thing more than me, and she’s the same woman that didn’t blink buying the land, or a camper, or building a barn in the span of 24 months.

Turns out we can build a pond for less money than the tractor, and she wants THAT first...since we can always rent. And being realistic, since it is a recreational property that’s the smart money play since we’d all get more immediate use out of a pond. But she didn’t articulate that when she said “Don’t you dare.”

It isn’t ALWAYS a matter of pussywhipped man or harpy woman...

And here I was thinking god made man and woman to his own image.
 
I married my best friend , on big purchases like a new precision rifle I will save my money. The priority on every check money into savings, pay bills and left over is play money. I have been married 23 years and when I ask her to pick up powder or primers I have ordered she says no problem. She has never told me I can’t go shoot or buy a gun.
 
And here I was thinking god made man and woman to his own image.

Have you read the Bible?

Genesis 1:26
Elohim (God) wayyomer (said) naaseh (make) adam (Adam) besalmenu (resemblence, a representative figure) kidmutenu (model, shape, like) weyirdu (to tread down, subjugate, rule) bidgat (fish) hayyam (sea) ubeowp (flying creatures) hassamayim (sky, heaven) ubabehema (beast, animal) ubekal (the whole, any, all, every) haares (earth, land) ubekal (the whole, any, all, every) haremes (reptile) haromes (crawl) al- (above, over, against) haares (earth, land)

Genesis 1:27
Elohim (God) wayyibra (to create, to cut down, select, feed) haadam (Adam) besalmow (resemblance, a representative figure)...

God specifically says that he made ADAM, in his own image. God specifically says adam/haadam, not issah (woman) or leissah (a woman) as used in Genesis 2:22.

Genesis 2:22
Hassela (a rib, plank) aser- (who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that) yahweh (LORD, the proper name of the God of Israel) elohim (God) laqah (to take) min- (from) haadam (Adam) wayyiben (to build) leissah (a woman, wife, female) waybieha (to come in, come, go in, go) el- (near, with, among, to) haadam (Adam).

This is only rational since God is not both man and woman but chooses the male form only. How could a woman be in his resemblance if God is male? God chooses a male form. Jesus was a man. All desciples were men.

Your comment is willful ignorance. The truth is there for all who seek it.

Further, we don't just learn of God by studying His word (scripture), we also learn by studying His works (the universe and everything in it). The fundamental truth that male and female are different is readily apparent to anyone with the eyes to see it.
