You say money is no object here, ergo, if you would grow a backbone and first TELL the Mrs that tomorrow you are going out and buying that Triumph you've been lusting after, and then go DO IT...as I doubt (hope) that you're just kidding about her being a batterer...
Sir, I DO have a back bone -- I just need to ask for it back, as she is currently using it to hang her bras and socks from. As for the spousal battery, she is careful not to leave marks; it's amazing a pair of stilettos can leave extensive damage without leaving holes.
All kidding aside, my wife would not divorce nor beat me if I brought home a motorcycle. Our decisions on major items over the past 12 years have been based on complete agreement between both of us. I am enjoying the peace and love that mutual respect and courtesy bring, and would like to preserve that through the purchase of a Triumph. In actuality, it's not so much divorce, a beating or growing a spine -- even if one with scoliosis -- that I'm concerned with, but a respectful "green light" that I'm seeking.
So, I'm seeking ideas on how to brainwash my wife. Keep 'em coming!
