Rescue Me From Ikea, Gents

[Gawernator]

As a former (but still licensed) rider myself, riding pillion is probably far scarier than riding on one's own. I no longer ride, but I could never even get her to ride pillion. She's SUPER risk-averse, like most women but dialed up to 11.

Meanwhile my wife asks to go for rides and I don't even like to street ride. I guess some men drown while some die of thirst. lmao.

i started riding as a passenger until i got my own license but yeah it can be worrying riding on the back. Gave a lot of friends rides on the back in my time riding, only one got a little worried i was taking hills and twists too fast on highway 49 so she pulled at my vest, slowed down and it was all good

Forget IKEA. Find good, used stuff on FB Marketplace. My wife likes little shops in little towns. I’m good as long as they have a bench to sit on and cell service.

Better than a day at IKEA...

I would love if my girlfriend wanted to play tennis, shoot, ride motorcycles, etc. She does none of that. I'm still trying to get her to go to the range to try my .22.

It’s not about what you do “with” her; it’s about what you do “for” her. Mine had her own bike and has her own guns. I provide ammo and maintenance.

What's the quickest way to dupe my wife out of Ikea?

Talk about a nicer furniture store near by; show her on the phone? Talk about how much heavier those are over there too. But also find a way to give good appreciative compliments about how such a good DESIGNER she is; without it being fake or insincere. I probably couldn’t pull it off after talking about the nicer furniture store; probably would sound too two sided or condescending.

If none of that works; just bring a power bank for your phone for the stroll and strut next time? The food court doesn’t sound that bad either; but then it seems like you are not interested in spending time with her if you go straight to hanging out at the food court. I would just stroll and strut it out with her; enjoy the lawful ccw’ing ?

Make a deal.

You buy, she builds.

Don't let your wife stop you from finding the love of your life.
