Blue850r Clutched January 18, 2009 Share January 18, 2009 Wondering how many of you buys a car of your wife's choice while you are fully paying for it? Notice that there are quite a fair number of men out there who is led by the nose. Buy new car wife choose options, wife choose colour, model, etc...but she is not paying. When new car is delivered, she wants to ride on it first and the man can't take his mother out for first ride. Night time go out must ask permission.....btw, how these men can protect our country in times of war? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limhm Neutral Newbie January 18, 2009 Share January 18, 2009 (edited) IMO, tis topic boils down to the family's culture n communication pattern. Whether is it to choose which car, house, children's primary sch, country for holiday, wat to eat, where to go...... N wife is e closest person to hb, nothing wrong to get e 1st ride le, she cld be e one going wif u to collect new car mah...as for MIL, can fetch her later to celeb having new car...everyone wld be happy le. Night time go out, with or without car definitely mus ask permission lah...U mean u can let yr wife go out at 12am without telling u? Tis is a form of respect to one's spouse, someone u love n care...nothing to do wif protecting one's country during wartime.

Akula Turbocharged January 18, 2009 Share January 18, 2009 I think very unlikely will there be a man that, chooses the make, model, colour and options of a car w/o the wife's knowledge, and on the day of collection, din bring her along, bring another woman (mother/sister/colleague/mistress) to collect the car. Permission to go out at night - dun think got anything todo with th car buying process...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shull Turbocharged January 18, 2009 Share January 18, 2009 my gf tells me.. "next time, you can buy any car you like as long as it's 1) Auto tranny 2) She chooses the colour" my reply "1) Totally unacceptable 2) I can accept it" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I know of people who buy their car without the wife's knowledge. Bring home the car and wife also no surprise because it has always been like that.

Akula Turbocharged January 18, 2009 Share January 18, 2009 2 common examples, "Dear, our car getting old/problematic etc.... thinking of changing to a { insert make and model } or a { insert make and model }, what do u think? " Wife reply, " both are ok with me, you decide ". "Dear, tonight after work joining friends/colleagues for dinner and a drink, no need to cook/stay up" Wife reply, "ok, dun drink too much, etc........ " Does the 2 above examples show a hen-pecked husband? Turn the tables around and treat it as the wife buying the car and going out, means who's the more dominant party now? Think once married, the decision making process becomes shared. My 2 cents....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged January 18, 2009 Share January 18, 2009 (edited) A lot depend on whether the car if a family car or my car. If it's the former...both my wife's views and mine will be evaluated equally. But if is the latter, then the decision will be more bias towards me...tho my wife will be taken into consideration as well. I agree with Limhm that a lot boiled down the kind of family value and culture you have. For mine, every big-ish (anything above $500) purchase will be discussed. Doesn't matter if it for me or the family. Edited January 18, 2009 by Silver_blade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue850r Clutched January 18, 2009 Author Share January 18, 2009 I made most of the decision. I've chosen an auto car in consideration of her driving need though. Regards, Quite a while back, got a friend bought Auto because he "respected" the wife. She says only can drive auto, she easy for her to pick the kids, blah blah After buy the car, she never drive it. Every time our group go for evening togo, he says have to pick kids. Then we also pull his leg, ask him about wife picking the kids, you see his sad face, so pityful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think once married, the decision making process becomes shared. My 2 cents....... In this case, it is just informing wife of your whereabouts. Perfectly ok and responsible. But I am saying many are not making a statement but a request for visa. " Can I go out with Dennis?" Ans: No, you better don't mix with him, everytime go KTV. Come to her mother house to have dinner early, then later sent girl girl to tution. I go to do hair. Edited January 18, 2009 by Blue850r Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
