2 Part Question/Who wears the pants in the relationship

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

You need to be honest about this question Its gonna be a 2 part question
1st Who rules the roost WIFE OR HUSBAND
2nd Does your wife call you more than 2X's a day.

 

[FatJack]

1. ME by God!!!
2. She had better not call more than once and thats to see what I want for dinner!!

(If any of you guys tell her I said this **** Imma kick you in the nutzz)

 

[oneway71]

Does not apply; happily divorced and enjoying my hobby again!

My cars never call me; although they do rule the roost!

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Seems to me that too many of my racer friends are pussy whipped./
Phone calls every 1/2 hour at the track.
Constantly checking up on them and wanting to know every move they make.
It makes me sick.
My wife will call me once at night to say good night and see how the day went racing when I go for weekend races.
I'll call her in the morning to see how my 4 kids are otherwise she leaves me alone.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

make sure you take the poll.And be honest.

I've been married to a wonderful gal for going on 38 yrs. Love her to death but seldom get calls from her, once in a blue moon. I'm not complaining! I'm the chief here, and she's happy to be 2nd in command. :icon_axe:

Now that's what I'm talking about.
When the wife has got the scrotom sack fully squeezed on a regular basis and choking the life out of them, you got to wonder about their self esteem.uke:

I've been married for 25 years to a gal who doesn't question what I want to do including planning our annual trips, which this year includes a trips to Vegas for MATS, and Carlisle for the Mopar event. When it comes to spending money on household affairs, thats her domain and I let her at it. She has never given me any crap about how much I spend on my cars, and I have never spent more than I could afford on them. I will usually call her a couple/few times a day while we are at work only because I am out on the road making rounds and she is parked at her desk at work. When I'm out at a car event without her, I usually do the calling. Some dudes need to be whipped by their significant others and if it works for them and their relationship I don't have a problem with it. Hey SSRR, how did that "Dutch Oven" work out for you the other night?

Dutch Oven was priceless!
Kept her under there till she gagged.
I guess you know who wears the pants here? LOL

 

[sicksatellite]

HAHHA...dutch oven.....at least now I know I'm not the only one that does that...lol
Got my old lady the other night too...hahaha

Kind of varies by the day. Some days it's a few times a day - but it almost always has a point to it. Most days we don't talk until after we're both home from work. I don't see one that applies too much in the vote. We make a lot of the decisions together - I guess I lead on a lot of them. I always get her input, though, because I don't want the input AFTER it's too late. Been there and done that a time or two. No, no - let's get on the same page BEFORE the point of no return. She's good about my stuff, and I try to be good about her stuff. Works pretty well for the past 22+ years. She doesn't keep close tabs on me when I'm off on my own - which I like. She sleeps quite well when I'm out on late night fire calls - LOL. She isn't a worrier - which is good. In fact, one night I got back from a house fire at about 5:00am. When she asked how it went, I told her how we had a collapse and some of us got trapped. I got out with just a little bit of air to spare by going through a window and down a ladder (not the way I went in). I think she rolled back over and went back to sleep - LOL.

Wow. We're not like that AT ALL. It's truly 50/50, but at times maybe a little one way or the other. She makes about 20K less than me, but we split the bills 50/50. She has a kid from a previous marriage that I pay 50% of the expenses. I always try to pay at least 2/3 of the cost of things we mutually use. We NEVER have money arguments (actually, we do argue sometimes over who doesn't get to pay[ "Let me pay. "No, let ME pay"]).

She bought a new car. She could afford it. Good for her. None of my business (other than friendy advice because she respects my mechanical opinion) I choose to spend my car money on older cars (daily driver is now 11), although I did pay 75% of the PT, which we both use.

She calls when there is something to discuss, or just to say a quick ILY. Sometimes it's 0 times in 3 or 4 days. Sometimes its 10 times in one day. NEVER calls to "check up" or to ask where I am, unless she's broke down or is getting ready to go somewhere she knows I like, and want's to see if I want to go too.

I installed skylights. She's remodeling the kitchen (looks fine to me. I wouldn't spend money on it, but she doesn't like it, and she can afford to mess with it). BTW, she's a former trim and finish carpenter, and came into the marriage with a compound sliding battery powered miter saw, and an air powered nail gun. Now she's a nurse. She's also 45 (older than me by 3) with the body of a 25 year old.

We have this gal at work that used to get about 20 calls a day from her prick husband. She would have to tell him where she was, and who else was there with her. What a dick!! She's finally getting a divorce. Good for her.

We also have a guy that used to get about the same number of calls from his P/A wife, and he'd have to plan out the entire rest of the day during each conversation. 25 min utes later, another call, a changed mind, and another planning session.

Good GOD, how can anyone stand to live that way. I don't think I could put up with that for three days, let alone three wekks, much less three (for the guy) or ten (for the gal) years.

 

[alleyoopmgv]

Gotta say, this is a weird poll.

Being serious, my wife is my best friend too. Been married going on 12 years, and no serious fights, it's been really great!

As far as phone calls, everyday it's different, sometimes I call her, sometimes she calls me, and some days we don't talk on the phone all day. But there's a point to the call.

As far as the race track, she goes with me most of the time. I grew up at race tracks on the weekends, and it was a family affair. When I go racing, the family goes with. That's the way I grew up, and that's the way I want it.

Nobody rules anything, it's 2011

 

[BuiltPoly318]

Well, I'm single and I only call myself once a day.

This reminds me of a story in our local Mopar newsletter a few months ago. This guy met a girl and on one of their first dates he took her to go check out a Mopar. It was basically a race car, dual quad Hemi, or something like that... gobs of power. She sat in the back when they went for a test drive and when they got back she said to him, "my shirt smells like a Hemi!" or something of that nature. Still gets me all misty.

They eventually got married and she loves Mopars. Who wouldn't want a woman like that? I only meet women like that when I'm clutching a pillow and my eyes are closed. Either that or they look like my Uncle, but with boobages.

So you know what I'm talking bout. Just incredible that the person who receives all the phone calls just can't say, STFU.
Stop calling, I think it's all about being insecure and no backbone and they can't stand on their own 2 feet. To me it's freakin pathetic. It's not just 1 or 2 racers, its a bunch. I didn't call my wife like that even as a newlywed/

 

[BuiltPoly318]

I think you're right about the insecurity part. I dated a woman who would email me and if it was right before a meeting I wouldn't have time to email back. After the meeting, sometimes 90 minutes or so, I'd get back to my desk and she left two more emails and a voice message asking where I was and why I didn't reply.

I told her in no simple words: I'm at work, you don't come first. If there's an emergency and I can reply, I will. Otherwise, work comes first. If that's a problem, then we have a problem.

These racers wives should be grateful that his "other love" is a car, and that a bunch of other racers are the entourage! lol

 

[Propwash]

Wife doesn't bother me unless it truely is an emergency or needed call. If it wasn't for work, I wouldn't have a cell phone. I hate the damn things!! I got better things to do then have a piece of plastic pressed to my head.

She let's me do my thing and I let her do her's...It's a mutual respect and works out great.

I had a cat working with me a couple weeks ago on top a 200 foot wind tower that was one of those "call every 20 minutes" guys. Watching that cell phone slide out of his front pocket and meteor towards the earth until meeting its demise was quite priceless. Guy climbed all the way down, came back up with the shattered parts and pieces of a phone and then asked..."Think I can get it to work?" Ummmm, think I can get you to work pal?

one word........"FAIL!"

 

[sicksatellite]

I hear you Prop....I HATE it when people are on their cell phone every 10 mintues talking to someone about pointless CRAP, or texting every 30 seconds. I hate cell's and refuse to own one! If people want to shoot the **** with me, they can come over and have a BEER with me, not call me twice a day to see "howz it goin"
