I used to have a wife devoted to shopping eating cakes and spending my money. Me time wasnt allowed and her time was the thing that mattered. About two years ago I shed 14 stones of waste now I am happy single slim happy and have time to myself without shopping every weekend. Best couple of k I ever spent.

Is it the fact that you are going cycling that bothers her or just what you are wearing?

I think it is just the lycra to be fair but it was invented for a good reason. When sitting on the bike, it looks ok. I must admit that off the bike it is not flattering.
First: Cycling is not worth a divorce. 2nd: Do you devote enough attention to her as mush as you devote to your bicycle? if No, try to devote more attention to her. 3rd: when you are with her, do you talk excessively about cycling or not? if so, try not to mention cycling when you are having couple time, try to talk about things that involves both of you. Talk over it with her please

I was once on holiday with a slim female friend and we called in at a supermarket in Dolgellau to buy food and drink. It was my turn to do the shopping while she watched the bikes and she couldn't understand why I was reluctant to go into the store because I was wearing lycra cycling kit. I was happy when I was on my bike, but it felt really odd walking around dressed like that!
I tried explaining that she looked really good in her kit, whereas I just looked like a fat middle-aged man wearing a codpiece! She told me not to be silly so I went in and was stretching up to get something off a high shelf when I turned my head and spotted two women pointing at my nether regions from the other end of the aisle. I rushed to the checkout and fled from the store as soon as I could!

1. I did say that cycling is not worth a divorce .
2. My life does not revolve around the bike and I don't spend all my time talking about it.
To be honest, we are going through a bad financial patch at the moment so I guess that is the reason for her short temper.

I am not a member, I am a free man !!!!!!
I am sure that will go down well Although this made me laugh I'd certainly say it is not the route to take! Guys and advice on clothes....not unless you are Gok....even then......
I find fault in others at times when I am unhappiest with myself,it's always easier to criticise or lash out than admit I may be having a wee troubled spell....not always hormonal but normally linked to lack of chocolate and digits on scales...oh and work, house, family. So perhaps as you say, the two of you have things going on that can cause reactions and tensions in areas where they probably shouldn't exist. Keep positive though.
Why bicycles are better than women:
- A bicycle is ready to go anytime, anywhere.
- Bicycles know when to keep quiet.
- You don't have to spend the night with a bicycle after you've ridden it.
- It's OK to pay for bicycles, you don't have to hang around trying to persuade a free one to let you ride it.
- You don't have to stay up till 2am discussing your relationship with your bicycle.
- Bicycles don't get pregnant.
- You can ride your Bicycle any time of the month.
- Bicycles don't have parents.
- Bicycles don't whine unless something is really wrong.
- You can share your Bicycle with your friends.
- A bike won't laugh if you fall off.
- A bike doesn't care whether or not you take precautions.

- Bicycles don't care how many other Bicycles you have.
- Bicycles don't care if you look at other Bicycles.
- Bicycles don't care if you buy Bicycle magazines.
- You'll never hear, "Surprise, you are going to own a new Bicycle" unless you go out to buy one yourself.
- If your Bicycle goes flat you can fix it.
- If your Bicycle is too loose you can tighten it.
- If your Bicycle is misaligned, you don't have to discuss politics with it.
- You don't have to be jealous of the guy who works on your Bicycle.
- If you say bad things to your Bicycle, you don't have to apologize before you ride it again.
- You can ride your Bicycle as long as you want and it won't get sore.
- You can stop riding your Bicycle as soon as you want and it won't get frustrated.
- Your parents won't remain in touch with your old bicycle after you dump it.
- Bicycles don't get headaches.

- Your Bicycle never wants a night out with the other Bicycles.
- Bicycles don't care if you're late.
- You don't have to take a shower before you ride your bicycle.
- If your Bicycle doesn't look good you can paint it or get better parts.
- You can ride your Bicycle the first time you meet it, without having to take it to dinner, see a movie, or meet its mother.
- When in mixed company, you can talk about what a great ride you had the last time you were on your Bicycle.
