A question for the guys in relationships

What about What?
I can see exactly what flatcurve is trying to say, there is no may in hell I would want my wife on a bike with anyone I didnt know. Ultimately since you are not there it will be her decision to do it or not but if she loves you (as I am sure she does) she will want to honor your concerns and wishes and she will make the right decision.
As for AlphaDogChoppers, I would not take anything he says into any kind of consideration as he obviously has absolutely no respect for women much less his wife, and just objectifies them. Anyone that would post a photo of his wife nude on a public site has no respect for her.

Duude.
You do not know me, and know absolutely nothing about me.
That WAS NOT my wife, BTW.
Your views strike me as parochial and archaic. You are welcome to those views, but they sure as fuck don't apply to me.

HAHAHA!
Seeming how fast you became defensive I'd say we know you pretty well Alpha Dog. It also appears that you may have forgot to take your bi-polar meds.
How's it feel having your relationship questioned on a forum? Or are you just a old man sitting at home on a Friday night masturbating to biker chic photos you found on Google images?

LOL!
So very, very mature.
WHACK-A-MOLE!
My relationship is fine, thank you. Thanks for asking.

My wife "lets" me do things like buy motorbike junk and go to events like Barber. Yah! I "let" her do stuff like go to shows or go to NYC to see her sis. Its not about one of us dominating or even keeping score. I've put my foot down on certain issues, as has she. She's every bit my match.
As for the original question, I would have to state my concerns and make my position clear. She would likey respect that. Is that letting or not letting? Maybe, but its how we get along.

Got to keep the loonies on the path...
Since age seems to be becoming somewhat of a topic on this thead.... Ive been kicking around this site for so long, I can remember when ppl would ask questions and get answers, strait answers from other ppl who care too. And nobody was about making offhand comments and belittling other people's marriages for their own desire to be the "alpha" in the discussion. But that was a few years ago.
Flatcurve: im sure you know exactly what you want/need whatever to do now. Its a good thing that you maintained some maturity thru the last 10 pages, that's a lot more than than a lot of new threads and faces here can do. Good luck, I hope everything works out in this.
Alpha dog: grow up. You're never to old to do that. There are men twice my age whom I regard as wise and someone I would ask the advice of, but that would end if all they could do is call names and imply a lack of security on my part. Seems the maturity level of the person being asked is defined by the nature of the answer given in a forum like this. Now you will probably respond by saying I need to grow a pair or that have daddy issues, or "whack a mole!" Or something in that fashion, and that's ok. Its just further confirming my opinion of who the grown up is im sure its also a little grating to be told "grow up" by someone who is likely about 15-20 years younger than you, but you earned it. I wont post to this thread anymore, so if you respond to this, it will go unanswered. I think it would be childish for me to get into an online pudding contest. Been there, done that when I was a teenager...
This thead needs to die.

Reading the past 10 pages I couldn't help but think that times have changed here on DTT. I've met life long friends here. Over the years there have been conversations about life and death, marriage and divorce shared on these pages. No one ever had to worry about being belittled or ridiculed.
We each felt a responsibility to lend an ear, share some advice, or a hand when possible. Advice was usually given from the heart.
It's not flesh and blood, but heart that makes us brothers.
To the OP: Communication has been the key to my marriage. This coming Monday I will have been married 26 years. I think you've received some good advice. Good luck with your delima.

What the hell happened to the dtt of two years ago. a question from a member should not be a opening to belittle them. Over the last few years ive been invited to members homes shared meals and drinks with members. Ive been given parts and gave part to help guys get there bikes going. Some of us have traveled hours on end to help each other out. Having said that there are thousands more people on this board now so it should be better RIGHT! the guy just asked for advice dont be a fucking clot if you cant help him or offer support just dont hit reply.

Well spoken Troy and Brad. I couldn't agree more. Sadly, I foresaw that this topic would get an arounsing reply which would do nothing more than upset the OP and those who are truly trying to support him and help him out.
You would think it was Alpha Dog all along who was the co worker trying to give his wife a ride.

Yeah man, my wife has ridden with one of my best friends before, because most of my bikes are one seaters. I trust him, and that's the important thing. He rides as much as I do, I have ridden with him, and that is where the comfort comes from with that. I probably wouldn't feel safe with her riding with anyone other than a select handful, because, well, I've seen what happens to newbie riders when they push beyond their limits. And just for the record with this "let" and "allow" talk going on, my god man. Let us be honest. The reason that those of us out here who are happily married have concerns for our wives is BECAUSE pf people out there who have the mentality of "you should allow her to make her own decisions". I'll be honest, the other dudes who are concerned with my wife's free will are the first ones to try something that would normally get them punched in the face. "Hey she did what she wanted, it was her own free will!"
It's a matter of expertise in certain areas. I am constantly put into my place with finances because my wife is an accountant. You'd better believe she listens to me when it comes to motorcycles and all things related, because that's what I do! In real life, it's not like you are making it out to be. It isn't someone feeling "owned" when the other party makes suggestions or demands. That's what makes a working relationship. You build on the strengths that you both possess to make one complete unit. My wife "owns" me, an I "own" my wife. That's a mutual respect thing.
Man, you keep doing what you're doing. You obviously love your wife, and you can never go wrong being concerned for her. That's what keeps marriages going brother. I promise dude, there are some great people on here, and I apologize sincerely for the ones on here that are pissing in the proverbial cheerio's.
