Hey,
It looks like you and I are in the same boat... albeit a really cr@ppy boat, with no paddle!
I know exactly what you are going through, as I am almost there too with Adrian.
I am so sorry that you are having such a rough time. It's not just the bike thing, but the way that he is dealing with the whole thing sounds extremely childish and selfish, in my opinion. I don't want to fuel the fire or anything, but if you are looking for confirmation that you have every right to be totally upset - here it is!
I really do understand where you are coming from, Adrian used to ride a bike in England. He had a big wipe out and could have been killed - he still has some scars from sliding along the pavement on his hands and stuff. Now he wants to get a bike "as soon as we have enough money". Uh, no.. as soon as you have a new girlfriend, more like!
I said that just what you said, that I will be up at night worrying he HAS killed himself this time in a wipe out or something. He wants to be a cop, and I said that will give me enough to worry about!
They just don't seem to understand, though. It's like that 'staying up at night, wondering and worrying' chip isn't in guys' brains (how totally unfair, by the way!). It's like they see it as a choice, "So don't worry".. like it's that easy!

I don't know what to suggest exactly.. I mean, maybe some time apart might smarten him up a bit, but it's so hard to predict with guys! It seems awfully foolish to be jealous of your girlfriend going away on a fab holiday, and then having your own good time by buying a bike and pissing her off and then walking around like a big man about it. But then, a lot of things men do I find just baffling. (Not all men!).

I really hope that you guys can work it out, couples counselling doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Maybe if someone else tells him with professional lingo that he needs to smarten up, he'll be able to hear it.

Good luck, Nelly!
**hugs**
