If there was something you could change

andyp said:
Make her realise that just because I like messing around with the car, I'm doing it just for the sake of it and that 'why bother wasting time on the car when it's not broken' just doesn't ping my logic circuits the way it seems to hers.

A good example being: got given a set of new dials for the car, so put half a day aside to put them in. All well and good. Took about 6 hours or so to do, including many tea breaks and swearing at bits of obdurate trim that were insistent on their will to remain attached to the rest of the car.

Of course, she's not happy... 'why do that when the old ones weren't broken?' Shrug of the shoulders from me and a 'well come and look at them now, they look better - and they're a nice cool blue colour at night!!' didn't quite wash.

So today I had to take it all apart again because the rev counter needle was sticking, I'd pushed it in about one millimetre too far so I get my mate round, get the tools out and we start prodding, poking, unscrewing and generally being quite annoying.

So I get the 'why are you doing this when it's not broken?' to which I reply, 'they are broken'.

"Well if you wouldn't have changed the other ones that weren't broken for the new ones that weren't broken that now are broken, you wouldn't have to fix it would you?"

Now that's a headache.

I'm soooooooooo glad that I am single.
I can do what I want, when I want and not go through the to crap above.
 
I'd change it so that she dosent ask me questions when she already knows the answer.

Or says what ? when she has clearly heard what I said.

Other than that nothing I love my lady wife to bits. It must be hard for her putting up with somebody like me.
 
Another thing I'd change: when the following equation is in the offing....

Hovis + low cut top + lots of cleavage = free computer game

... she doesn't go all shy and refuse, even though I know she bloody wants to do it.
 
Nothing at the moment, shes near enough perfect for me in every way i could imagine...one of the major reasons why im marrying her in a few weeks time as i havent met anyone quite like her since i discovered the joys of women:p:D

You should ask her why she doesn't seem to be able to understand the concept of hobbies.

Yes, they're mostly pointless, but that's not the point in them.

She must have many things she does that have no purpose, but she enjoys it anyway.
