Mine pretty much knows not to demand: "Me or the bikes, make a choice."

She's got it too good to ever ask that question.

For my better half.....I will throw the purchasing of firearms into that mix as well.  ;)

Absolutely.  I think that your better half could kick your a** if she wanted to..not that she would, of course.

+1000

I have to purchase one every couple of months. Not want to, have to.  I'm pretty sure I'd keel over dead if I went to long. The wife knows how it is. No arguments

I knew I made the right choice for a wife when I came home one day 20 years ago and told her I was going to buy a rifle, told her, not asked her, and she said, "that's nice, make sure you buy one you like". She recently asked me when I was going to buy a new bike.

Mine is too good. If I mention buying another firearm, she says, "Go ahead!" I would like at least a little resistance to help prevent me from spending money.  ;D

I mentioned to Teressa a while back the garage feels cramped with too many bikes. She replied "sell the riding lawn mower". I took that insanely epic advice and hired a lawn service. She's a keeper!
