Hey everyone, Just recently got engaged, and Im already noticing that she is taking more interest in my tractors.....but its more interest in what im paying for them, how long i plan to keep it, etc, before she didnt really care as long as I didnt have to borrow money from her (hehe) but now when I buy one, shes saying, well if you have money for that you should have money for this.. I dont want to give up my toys, but shes nice to have around to, Will it always be this way?

Married 32 years and I think the secret is, just do as your told. But she leaves me and the tractors alone, think she kinda likes them but would never admit it. She also knows if I am in the shop, I'm not some place else.

Man, I feel for ya. I am fairly young, 25, and I have been married for coming up on six years. I know that is not nearly as long as some guys here, but I feel I have learned one or two things in six years. After seeing both my parents divorced, remaried and my father divorced again two more times and working on his third, my grandparents divorced(before I was born) both remaried and divorced again, and several other family memebers divorced, the biggest mistake I see peopl making is they get engauged, and hae problems. So what do they do? Cool of and try to work these things out? No, they rush in and get married. I don't know much, but I no that if it is not working before the rings are on the rings aren't gonna help much. I got really lucky. My wife has never once told me not to buy a piece of equipment. I have told her several times we aren't buying anymore horses, sense we all ready have to many we don't ride enough. But she has told me to buy equipment. She likes farming, being from the city she never experienced anything like this and she really gets into it. She helps me in the hay fields, she helps me work on the equipment, and when I get pi$$ed when something breaks or hay gets rained on or when money gets tight and I want to quit, she makes me keep going and I am always glad she does. Right now we are considering trading rakes, for a new style caddy type V-rake so it is easier for her to rake. I am very lucky, and if your wondering she is good looking too! Like someone else said, it's not like you are going out to bars and getting wasted and chasing loose women? There are much worse things to be doing than messing with old tractors, and she needs to understand that. I think this is something you need to get worked out right now!!! Do not enter into a mariage when there are unresolved problems, they will only get worse later are the odds, and then it is much harder to work out.

Hummmmm...sounds like your communication line is not working. If she is picky about your money already...better talk about it.
Been with mine a very long time. We disagree over very little because we talk things out in advance.
As long as there is money for the bills and such as well as some going into savings there is never a problem...but neither of us buy toys when there is a cash flow problem.
We both work and we share the checkbook so we always know what's in the bank. But she has her hobbies (stamping...making cards and her aniamls). So...that money is hers. I play with tractors and fix mechanical things...that money is mine.
Gotta talk about things...or the rest falls apart.
My 2 cents.

well - she is esentially CORRECT! Read your Bible and become the head of your household. Your wife is to be your "help meet", not your boss. Decide if she/you fall into this catagory and go from there. It is YOUR responsibility to take care of your family FIRST, then decide if a play item is being responsible. Remember: Nags don't get there on thier own, most are helped along. Lay down some footwork to work together and things will be fine. There will be bumps, but you will be able to work through them easier.

Your vision and thoughts are currently warped by that little triangle of fur. You are not out in the Honky Tonks getting loaded and going home with some women. You are are at home working on something worthwhile. Happy Wife = Happy Life. If she isn't happy about your hobby now. She certainly won't be later. Women think of marriage in three words. "Isle, Alter You". Time to tell her to like it or "nice knowing you, bye". I dropped a whinny, needy, teary, clingy complainer. I had mixed feelings for a few years then I happened to see/hear her around her husband. Made me real glad for my wife.

90% of the difficulty in our marriage comes from financial issues. There just isn't enough to go around for both of us to have what we want all the time... Let's just say I make sure she is well taken care of before I make a major purchase -- and even then we discuss/think about it for at least a couple of days before spending.

My advice is to figure something out NOW before it's too late, we have worked through some major issues, but there are more to come.

Run, run now, run fast, run far..... ..... . do it before it gets too late. Finally, after 5 years we 'divorced' our finances. Only way to keep any kind of peace in the house.

Been married 21 years now and the wifey finally figured out that nowadays if I want a tractor I get it. House, cottage, van are all paid for so now it's time to play,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,

All I have to do is look at my Wife's eBay bid/buy list, and there's nothing that she can ever say about tractors!

Example:
US$939.99 Auth Louis Vuitton MultiColor Boulogne Black Hand Bag ~~~~

So...Make it clear, that you can spend your money on tractors, and let her use her own on whatever is dear to her heart.
Good Luck

Dude, trust me, it gets worse, I am having problems now, my tractors help to support my wife and I, I buy and sell and make money,which pays for trips, food, etc...but all my wife does is complain....she cant see how it works....
It will get worse, I buy a tractor for $2000...she buys clothes, I sell my tractor for $3000, she buys more clothes...not right....
Sounds like you will be heading for the same path....I would reconsider- I certainly am now - after 3 years!

Get yer rules set early when it comes to that sort of stuff. You can compromise, but try not to give in, don't want to get that pattern started.
Tell her before you got into tractors you used your money for drinking and skirt chasing. :)

I hope you have a long engagement planned. You need to do some serious thinking before any invitations get sent.

Well if shes that way now it will most likely get worse not better. My wife as long as I have the money says nothing about the tractors. Shoot she is the one that set up my web page and she keeps wanting me to take more pictures so she can add more to the web page.
