914 ownership and marriage/relationship woes go hand in hand?, the car and the web are evil according to my wife :) Options

1st let me say that I've got a pretty darn good marrage and nothing too terribly wrong is going on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)


What I have noticed is that a few times things have gotten a little "heated" around the homefront for one reason or another (leaving toilet seat up, not mowing the lawn....etc, etc) my non-running-project-for-life 914 & the "internet", more specifically the 914world.com is brought up and neither subject is talked about by my wife in a loving manner (please dear, no cussing in front of the girls (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

I do see her frustration about the 914, it is a sickness I have for not being able to make forward progress...the question is what to do about it??

I've admitted I've done some stupid and foolish things like my last purchase of rims and tires when I already had a set pretty darn similar but they just didn't have the "perfect" look I am trying to achieve with my car.

Short of selling everything off and turning off my internet access at home, what is a guy to do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The danger signals I keep a look out for is whenever a conversation starts with:

"You know, you care more about that damn boat...."

or

"How much time did you spend with (fill in name of child) this week!!........"

Thats when I make a few phone calls and arrange a 'date' with the wife...

As big a blessing as they are, your kids are pushing the wife up near the edge, eating up most of the 'forgiveness' tolerance zone....

Basically, you've moved from the "Standard Machined Finish" +/- .005" stage of the relationship into the "Bearing Surface Finish" +.0000"/ -.0002" zone.....
