Dating & Relationships Love sucks. Now you can cry about it…

Has the mod bug infected anyone else's relationship?

In my house if it's over $200 we discuss it before purchasing. So....not too many mods will slip by without her knowing. When I was not married I did what I wanted.
That's exactly what I'm doing and what she's referring to. I'm to the point where I know doing anything else to the TL isn't the best use of my funds. Yeah I'll do little shit here and there but I'm not going to blow $3000+ on a set of wheels. Both she and I are ready to be done with school and get a place of our own and I can't make that happen if I'm spending all of my cash on my depreciating car

The funny thing is that my wife never complained about spending money on mods for my CL. She didn't really like it, but we weren't married at the time. The minute she got pregnant the part out began. I actually made more money on selling the mods than I payed for the mods.

Before you ask "how" the car came with wheels, exhaust and the stereo. I bought the stock ones and sold the aftermarket parts. Made about $2000 overall.

It's always a HUGE balancing act. Relationships require attention and time too. Listen to Jayne and the other women who are in to Acuras/cars. Their advise speaks volumes.

Just tell her that you could be glued to the computer, and looking at porn. The hobby is a "healthy" one, not a negative one.

u had a relationship fail because of neglect from time you spent on your car?...or just neglect in general?
If she thinks you are neglecting her... you are!
The little woman is always right... your reply should always be "yes dear" :-p

After finding out how much I spent to build my gun, the gf has become very interested in how much the hobby costs. She likes my modded ack, but yesterday I was getting stuff ready for a shoot this weekend, and she was asking me, how much does this cost, how much does that cost

She's sizing you up for the big take down....ie marriage & kids.

Believe me I know it.

I was out to dinner with my dad, and I guess I said the word married twice, and he's like, so is that in the plans? I guess she's already got me programmed
