Bikes And Girlfriends/bfs

I said to my ex girlfriend even before we got serious, if i was made to choose between her and my bike, I'd chose my bike, because someone who loves you wouldn't make you choose between 1 love from another. Am I wrong? is this a vaild point? Is it normal for a girl to be jealous over a bike? Any female members feel free to comment.

 

It was a strong healthy relationship just too much negativity towards my bike. We only broke up Sunday morning I was just curious if anyone else has experienced it.

 

As a passenger yes, but its not the same.

 

If I may...

1. Welcome back Lammy. What a silly man he was.

2. It should never be a choice between the two. Why not have both? Cannot both parties allow each other space, fun, indulgence in activities which bring happiness?

 

Exactly what happend To me. Its good to knowI wasn't being silly

 

I think the issue is the question should never have been asked so I agree but some people can't be pleased, its similar to when motoGp starts I can't watch it but she could watch her soaps... One rule for them, another for yourself.

 

The point I was trying to make was am I silly or did I act accordingly, I trust bikers veiws more to anyone elses

 

Yes, you're very silly, now, are you for real? I mean...why would you trust us?

 

You'l have to tell us her name,,,,, its the only way to know if she's done the same to any of us!.

 

She sounds like my ex wife. My old bike is actually in the divorce papers! Apparently I loved my bike more than her, The person you love should love you for who you are and not what they think they can turn you into. We all need a bike loving partner whether they sit behind us or ride alongside.

 

We don't have to have a bike loving partner, just a partnership that allows each other space to indulge in their own hobbies/interests like Richard said

 

Mines a sig. other and she's always bemoaning she never kept up up her full licence.
Hold on, does that mean she doesn't like my riding skills? Mega keep outa this!

 

I am jealous of my husband's bike,

but only because I want it for myself.

Bikes were our shared interest when we first met and we're still enjoying ourselves with them after almost forty years together. We would never expect each other to give up anything. We have a lot of separate interests as well and it works very nicely for us. We don't like soap operas. Maybe that's the secret of marital harmony.

 

When you have a relationship each party should have separate hobbies and respect the other person's love for that hobby. The frustrating thing with motorbiking is that it is a hobby that takes the person away for a potentially long period of time, doing unknown things, with unknown people. So some less confident individual's will become suspicious on what is the ins & outs of a 'day out riding'.

Not that I agree it is justifiable, but I can (as devil's advocate) so where it would stem from.

It would be much more appropriate to have a hobby of needlecraft - you'd be at home more often!!! But I don't believe an individual should change their hobby/downtime/enjoyable activity that makes them feel centred due to someone's insecurities.


Oh a side note, (((hugs))) snail xoxo
