I'm betting she doesn't let you heat any parts in the oven, use the kitchen as a clean room for assembly, use her measuring jugs and other kitchen utensils for more productive purposes, use her stockings for straining paint, or use her vacuum in the garage either ...

Wow, so you disappoint the wife, and she is allowed to humiliate you in public.
Something seems wrong with this, it's funny, but wrong.

Hmmm, Maybe I am whipped. She never lets me use the Dyson to clean up the garage! I always have to use the shop vac that was appraently made for cleaning up construction debri and drywall.

Thats all she did?
I think its time to take her out on a date; Ruth Chris or someplace very nice. Bottle of Wine. Tell her how much you love her. She just crying out for a little extra attention .. (I think her 'retaliation' was cute by the way) .. Sounds like a keeper to me if that's her 'I'm mad at you' look..

Dream Killer... from a Jeep forum, a response from a GF asking a question:
"Shut the hell up! You’re not paying for the repairs. It’s absolutely none of your business what he does with his Jeep or his money. I know your type well… first it’s “Sell the Jeep because it’s costing too much money.” Then it’s “No, you can’t go spend the weekend with your buddies because I need you to take me shopping.” Then it’s “Oh gee, honey… I’m pregnant. Gosh, I have no idea how that happened.”
You’re a DreamKiller. You kill a guy’s dreams, take away his future, tie him down with a fat mortgage and too many babies, and turn him into just another miserable guy wondering, “How the hell did I get here?”
Do you really want to help him? Here’s what you do… go to your local library (it’s a big building with books inside) and check out a couple of books on rebuilding engines. Read them, over and over, until YOU understand what needs to be done. Then help him get that engine out and rebuild it. Tie your hair back in a ponytail, put on some old jeans and get your hands dirty. Hand him wrenches, hold the light, pull the wire connectors apart, help him get the hood off… help him with anything he needs. When he gets tired, run inside and make him a hot lunch or dinner. Fix him coffee, hot chocolate, whatever he wants. (But NO beer. Beer is for when the job is done.)
Then when the day is over and you’re both exhausted from working on the engine, push him into a hot shower and jump in with him. Scrub his back, wash his hair, rinse him off, and dry him with fluffy towels still hot from the dryer. Then push him into bed and screw his ears off. Then get up the next day and do it all over again.
Make him realize that rebuilding an engine is a slow and methodical process. Make him realize that every step should be regarded as surgery; every step must be perfect… perfect torque, perfect fit, perfectly clean. If you run into a step that you just can’t figure out, ask for help from someone who knows what he’s doing. Are you cute? Put on a low-cut top, show some cleavage and go (by yourself) to the local Jeep shop, and explain to the guys that you are helping your boyfriend to rebuild his engine and neither of you can figure out this one little step, and do they have any advice…
Think it won’t work? Think again. We guys love to help cute girls, even if they have a boyfriend. (Hey, maybe you’ve got a sister, or girlfriend…)
But absolutely DO NOT whine or complain. Do not say a single negative thing. Not a single “Oooooo, I broke a nail.” If you break a nail, or cut your finger, or bang a knuckle, you just shut up and DEAL WITH IT. You should be a hopelessly optomistic, never-say-die cheerleader, encouraging him every step of the way.
That’s my opinion."

Sorry, my definition of making the wife happy is this....."Honey, I just bought another 928 off of Ebay. It is in Florida. If you fly down and help me drive it back, I will get a Hot Tub room in a hotel right on the ocean for you to enjoy for a day or two, before we drive back in the Shark. If you object, I totally understand, and will really miss your company".

Women don't respect a man that they can boss around, but they'll try. Many many years ago before most of you were born. My ole lady tried to make me sell my Harley. Gave me the big ultimatum,:" it's me or that motorcycle," cause I was going riding with my club brothers. I put my arm around her and said yeah baby, one thing I'll always have is a bike, and bought another one the next day.
March 2nd is our 48th anniversary. Still got my bikes, my girl, and my *****.
MAN UP GUYS!!!!
