    I have never let my wife dictate to me any ultimatum. I trained her early, LOL

    I let her win some battles to keep the peace, but would not accept any ultimatum from her that had meaning to me, just as I would never subject her to one that had meaning to her.

    She can have her life, just as I can have mine, and them we have our life. We don't have to do everything together.

    OK this should step on some toes......but as most of you know I'm good at it, and for the most part...don't care!............One thing I have to say is If I called my wife an "Old Lady" she would slap the shit out of me, and I would deserve it. Man that Old Lady term is way Old School. Sorry I think it sounds cheap and degrading.
    Now to address the post at hand.......I would rather sleep in the house than the garage. At my age Divorce is way hard on ya, and I don't have the strength to go through it again!

    Well, I've got to agree with the Dragon on this one, especially the cheap and degrading part. And Brother Dragon, let me say this. Since I have met Debby, I'll kick your ass if you call her an Old Lady. Ha Ha, enjoy sleepin in the house Dude.

    My riding is part of who i'm so asking me to stop is like trying to change who I am. That's all I got to say.

    A real woman or a real man, would not demand that their partner make a choice if they truly loved them.  While our relationship always comes first, the riding is part of who and what we are.  While each circumstance is going to be different, you don't barter with someone's love and affection, let alone manipulate it or make demands of it.

    Only if the individual is dangerous, reckless, and an idiot and doesn't deserve to be riding in the first place, should he or she be told to get rid of the bike.  When he feels the need to ride alone, he doesn't need my permission, when I rode alone, I didn't need anyone's permission either.  If you ride, then you understand.  Simple as that.

    I've referred to my husband as "My Old Man" on occasion, but it just doesn't feel right.  He's not an old man and he's not "mine," I'm just fortunate enough that he shares himself with me in the ways that he does, which is pretty much in all ways.

      Why would someone who cares about you even ask you to make a choice like that?

    That's easy. Just tell her that you really do love her, and you will miss her dearly!
