Marriage Guidance Needed....

I said to Jenny the other day ' I fancy getting a Syncro'
She didn't look up and said ' You don't need one of those'

A couple of days later I said ' I really would like a Syncro, I know I don't need one'
She just looked at me.

Question is, how do you think it's going so far ?
Next steps?

 

She clearly doesn't understand you

Sorry only step is divorce

 

Excellent Bern, keep up the subtle subliminal messages, it sounds like your on to a winner

 

Just buy one, that's what I usually do, however the secret is to book a holiday first, break the news that you're taking her to benidorm for a week then tell her while describing the lovely beach and temperature that you've bought a synchro and that she'll need to move her car out of the garage lol

 

Do what I did and buy one and tell her after but before picking it up. Worked for me and my boyfriend is still with me.

If not then start leaving mags open at the classified pages and get caught looking at them online, then move onto leaving classifieds around with one circled. You can also whisper to her when she is asleep 'get a syncro, get a syncro'

 

Helpful stuff folks - keep it up

 

Slippery slope, I've tried this with Ms. T regarding a panel van.
I even said she could have something nice for herself ( I suggested a compressor) if she would allow me to have another van.
Sadly I've failed
Maybe she'd prefer a nice hammer drill or a drop saw?

 

Also pre-empt all the negative points and reasons for her to say no and have good answers planned ready for comeback. If she enjoys the camper now think of all the ways she will enjoy the syncro. If she doesnt enjoy it then think of all the ways that it wont affect her. Its all about taking down her argument so all she is left with is a no with no reasons to justify it so all that is left is to give in. Start slow and subtle. ;-)

 

All of the above, and then add all the romantic quiet out of the way places you can take her to with a syncro, the kind of places you just cant get to in a bay (you can but she doesn't know that) And those romantic quiet picnics on a sunny Sunday afternoon.#

At least your mrs listens to you, It turns out when i talk MrsMH tunes out, I thought it was just me that was allowed to do that!

 

I took it to mean "why are you asking me? You are just going to get one anyway" which is basically a green light I would have though. Go buy one and when she says "why did you do that?" you can say "but we discussed it didn't we?" If there is a strop you can act penitent and "sorry I misunderstood" but you are now basically in the clear and have a Synchro! Jobs a good un.....

 

Surely a syncro would make the perfect valentines gift this week......

I agree with Chris, especially if you put a nice bow round it with rosé petals on the rock n roll bed,

 

Knowing Jenny, no

Good luck with that one Bern, you're going to need it, you and Julie could set up a support group for wanting a second/ third vw, she's been after a twin crew cab forever, its not happening but she lives in hope that one day Iwont be listening properly and say yes ;D

 

oops double post

 

As someone who cocked his marriage up, if she says something along the lines of "do what you want, you will anyway" don't buy it. On the other hand if she says that it's probably too late to save your marriage so you may as well just buy yourself the syncro.

 

she hasn't said no , so i would take that as a yes

 

Tell her para says you need a syncro

She will let you have one then im sure

 

Yes Moira, you do know me!
Thanks for all of your tips - they have been noted!!!!
Sorry Para, it won't wash this time, good try though

 

I've got a syncro.....

Buy it , dont tell her you bought ,but tell her you won it in a raffle so might as well keep it ,dont forget to add , " that was very lucky wasnt it "
