Well, if you are overreacting....       08/25/05 08:09 AM Edit Reply Quote epa_ginger Reged: 02/23/05 Posts: 1158 Loc: Chicago, IL I would "overeact" the same!! My husband jokes CONSTANTLY that he will get a motorcycle. I think it's 95% a joke. But if we had a windfall of money, and could pay off all bills and then some, I think he'd actually consider it. I always say "over my dead body" (a frequent response of mine), for the same reasons you've cited: safety and impracticality. We live in the midwest so the motorcycle season is short. And NOT WORTH IT. I know there are plenty of people who ride safely, but to me, it's a bad idea. Mind you, before we were engaged, he was taking flying lessons. Because we weren't married then, I expressed my opinion, but didn't make demands. Luckily for me, his parents (who he still lived with), pressured him enough that he gave it up. I mean, as partners we try to be supportive of each other's interests. But if one person is so ADAMANTLY against something, for all the reasons you've noted, shouldn't that be some sort of deterrant? Is a motorcycle REALLY that much of a priority? AND doing anything that serious behind your back, is just dishonest. He knew what your reaction would be which is why he did it that way. Basically he decided that how you felt didn't matter. Sorry, Nelly! I don't have any real advice except...I don't think you're being unusually uptight. Compromise is great but don't be a doormat.
