My wife wants me to sell the boat

[chart5011]

I'm going to have to change her.
Shame really, she's not a bad cook.

You have to choose. It's either her or her!!

My wife wants me to do lots of things - that doesn't mean I have to do them.

 

[gavina]

I had that request in the form an ultimatum twenty years ago and chose the boat - it was one of the best decisions I ever made!

 

[Talulah]

Not a problem really. You'll be able to put the boat up for sale. Then you can go down a lot more often on the basis you're getting the boat ready to sale. In this climate it probably won't sell so you will have gained browny points for little risk.

 

[Noddy]

My wife won't do some of the things I ask her to do!

 

[sarabande]

dare one assume that she wants you to change it for a bigger boat ?

Had similar from SWMBO last year and did as Talulah has suggested. I put boat on market for what I knew was a silly (high) price and didn't sell. Now she has agreed that as I have the boat I might as well use it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW since then I have decided to sail in the JAC 2012 so maybe she is hoping for the life assurance policy pay out if things go amiss!

sell her, keep boat

 

[chrishelen]

I second that, oh yes.

 

[johndove]

Put the wife on ebay

 

[out_to_sea]

I've taken up sailing in the hope of an ultimatum from the wife! Just need to find someone to sail with 3 or 4 days a week and I'll be well on the way... Or maybe a round the world trip! anyone need a deck hand? lol

Thanks for all your advice.
I think I will try Tululahs suggestion of spending ages getting her ready for market (the boat) and attach a high asking price.
If someone does make me an offer I can't refuse, I'll sell the boat and run off with that blonde I've got my eye on!

I think I must have a strange marriage.

My top loves in order:
1) My car
2) The cat (even though I didnt want one)
3) The boat
4) SWIMBO

Her top 4 I believe:
1) Her cat
2) Her car
3) the boat
4) Me (I hope)

How can you rank the car higher than the boat? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
