I tell her to take it away from me and find out! Just find her weakness and you're even. My wife says it is our birds. We have two macaws and she says I go before they do...

 

I am a VERY sarcastic person, and she knows this. So when she says "is watching the fight with your friends really more important than me?". I simply say "yes". She laughs, I laugh, we hang up, I laugh harder....

 

A friend of miine had a prepared statement whenever the "what's more important....." line was used by his gf/wife.


He said, "I was racing cars when I met you and I'll be racing cars long after you're gone".

It puts his hobbie and their place in his life in perspective.

 

My wife knows better then to ask that. She may not like the answer. I would of course answer "You", but she is probably afraid of what I would say.

 

wow this is so true of you and c, it freakin cracks me up!

 

I have never had my wife ask me that kind of question. I think she respects the few things that I am very dedicated to (other than her): my job, my S2000, golf, etc.

We just try to balance each others priorities out so that each of us gets a bit of what we want, and compromise so that we are both happy. Its very hard to do, especially in the beginning....but pretty soon you can read each other really well and your marriage works like the 240 hp 4-cylinder under the hood of your S....beautifully.

 

Well said - this is how a real relatioship should work!

 

When my GF asks me if my car is more important then her, I say it is.

Then we laugh about it.






5 minutes later, she comes at me with a puppy eyed look on her face and repeats the question

 

My GF gets jealous of 2 things, my S2000 and my Computer. My Stragey, get her a Dog.
