Same here...I love an understanding wife...I just gotta remember sometimes it goes BOTH ways

Each of us buys what we want, without having to ask (within reason of course).

Now, if it requires taking money out of savings or committing to loan payments then we talk about it first.

But just to go out and buy parts or upgrades, nope.
And she does the same with stuff she wants

I have been on the fence between the road king and Electra glide as the only 2 up riding will most likely be an occasional trip with my 7 year old son. When I was showing her the different bikes, she pointed to the Ultra classic and said that I should get it because of the tour pack and that she was afraid that our son wouldn't be as safe with just a sissy bar. I told her its a few thousand more and she said get what you want when you get it instead of pumping $ into a bike to make it what is not. It helped that my pastor told her how his kid falls asleep on the back of his dyna! So I am grateful for a level headed spouse that wants me to get an ultra.

Sounds a lot like mine. Of course, I make sure the bills are paid first, but she has never given me any grief about my "toys". I make sure she has her "toys" too.

When I was engaged I would just buy stuff and throw it on and let her find it whenever she decided to pay attention.
