is she spoilt?

Thing is men who have half a brain are not exactly common either. Sadly, nor are men who aren't disillusioned either.

Agreed. Generally blokes who are as amazing as me are like fecking gold dust.

I'm currently worth over $1000 per troy oz and I'm a lot of troy oz

while out bimbling through the centre of Manchester yesterday, the wife drags me in to the Radley shop (handbags for those that dont or didnt know what it was either...).

she spies a bag she fancies, and gives me the puppy eyes. it turns out this bag is limited edition (means it costs more than the normal ones), one of only 250. they apparently do this every year.

She looks at me and wants one! i tell her if she wants one, get one. its pointless arguing, she'll only sulk.

now, the day passes, she stops me buying a PS3 (at a cheaper cost than this bag!!!) cos i have a 360 and a wii. i make tea and generally do all the bits. i was feeling good yesterday and thought i would be nice.

anyway, we go to bed. she wanders to bathroom as i get in the pit, and the next thing i realise, she has PJs on... this is odd as i know its not that time of the month (she is at least talking to me!). she rolls over, and goes to sleep. i get nothing. no kiss, no goodnight. i buy her a handbag and look after her, but i get nothing.

What am i doing wrong? it wasnt that long since the time i would 'get' something in return without me asking.

i think she has got used to getting what she wants. 7 years of being together with the last 4 being married, i think she has become complacent. what should i do? (other than go out and get the PS3 today with telling her! )

I'll never understand women, but then i also think i'm going to stop buying her things. i'm not sure i even got a verbal thank you, but she did smile.

Actually mr scooby, you should be grateful wife doesn't like bottega veneta bags... www.bottegaveneta.com ! radley is a bit horrid, i have to say.

I think women claim to like the 'thoughtful' (wimpy) type of man who will allow themselves to be walked all over but in my experience its not true.

Three good sets of friends of ours divorced, 2 in the past year. All of them had men who provided everything their wives could have wished for, in fact everything that BI described in his post at the top of this thread. Where did it get them? They end up with the wives 'bored'.

In the two most recent divorces, the women are now in 'relationships' with men who treat them like dirt, treatment they would never have accepted from their former husbands.

I've been married for 27 years and although I don't treat my wife like that I also don't allow myself to be walked over. There should be some equality in all relationships otherwise it won't work.

Forget what women tell you they want, the reality is different.
