Sunday ride guilt: damned either way!

[jowwy]

time to trade her in me thinks

 

[Dewi]

Stay out on the bike all day them no worries about the afternoon!

No ride today, I took wifey and son out for the day, to look at a new road bike I fancy

As pay back I was dragged around Ikea...

If you are a dad, then today being Father's Day they should indulge you! Do what you want

 

[Berties]

simple rules if you do you get into trouble,and if you don't do it you get into trouble and even if you can do it you do it to long,like nike say just do it,but I run my life by a rule if you admit you like something you get it all the time,

My Scenario - Go out for ride on my tod, come home - see wife in cycling gear, go out for ride with wife

Win Win!

 

[Arjimlad]

Hmm... sometimes, you just have to get used to the fact that you cannot win.

 

[jackm]

Answer is simple, follow the Landrover motto....

One wife, leave it.


I think that's what it says!!

Not an uncommon dilema. I try and get our early on so I can be back by 10 - 10:30 to keep all parties happy. Other than that I take the long route to and from work

If you're getting it in the neck either way you play it, then it's time for a Lance Armstrong quote:

"It's not about the bike".

Humankind will often allow anger, resentment, jealousy and disapproval to leech from the area that generates it into other areas of contact with the party deemed responsible for it.

You have probably done a bad, naughty thing in another area of your domestic life and the reaction to same manifests itself (in part) as the scenarios you describe.

One way or another, you are Donald Ducked.

bloody hell ..." i think your married to MY WIFE "

You're wrong - he's married to mine

You're both wrong, it's my wife !! Wondered why it's took her 2 years to just get a loaf of bread.

Scenario 2 especially.

Rule #11
// Family does not come first. The bike does.

Sean Kelly, being interviewed after the ’84 Amstel Gold Race, spots his wife leaning against his Citroën AX. He interrupts the interview to tell her to get off the paintwork, to which she shrugs, “In your life the car comes first, then the bike, then me.” Instinctively, he snaps back, “You got the order wrong. The bike comes first.”21

bloody hell ..." i think your married to MY WIFE "

Sounds like my first wife. Poor beggar. Madness loom.

 

[Bikerchick]

It's the other way round in our house! Husband stays in and I go out for a ride. Sunday is best, he stays in bed till I get back then it's second breakfast in bed.

Either way, surely it's all about compromise. Best to each get to do your own thing and then you can enjoy your time together.

I don't think I'm really helping the girls out in this one!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Ime, men moan too, loads, about the girls needing "me time"

Best to each get to do your own thing and then you can enjoy your time together.

What's this "enjoy" you write about?
