MY FWH bought ME a "sporty" car, too, when he came back.

He now drives a SUV.

He likes to keep my car all shiny and clean..gets it washed for me...no, he doesn't do that or mow the lawn...MR. DEBONAIR ( I love it, though)..

What's the SIGNIFICANCE of the WIFE DRIVING THE SPORTSCAR?

BTW, the FOW was left driving her OLD, BEATUP CAR.. I heard him say once that he wanted to buy one for her but she didn't let him..but ALL of that could have been a lie....

Just in case you notice, LG...

It's not an burning question for me...

I just wondered since you said that you bought your wife a car and you and my H are following the same script...

Mimi,

Thread jack here.

I do not beleive that just because your F died that the issue is resolved.

I believe there is a finality to it but it does not mean it is resolved.

Then your Mom married a jerk. More unresolved issues.

IMVHO if you do get a resolution it will help you. I don't know what it is. I am not a professional but those issues shape us. The better we deal with them the better shape we are in.

It is never to late to resolve an issue that may have finality but isn't resolved.

Best wishes Mimi.

Sorry, didn't buy BS a car. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

But your line here has me confused:

Are you saying that he does keep it clean for you? or not? And he doesn't even mow the lawn?

But that you Love the Car?

Why is there significance in the Wife driving the SPORTS CAR?

How many MB ladies have a "Mom-Mobile"? You know, the mini-van!

And the Husband drives something cool?

So, if the DW is driving the sports car, she feels like a flirty, beautiful and FUN woman! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Not the kid hauling, snot wiping, No Fun mom........ <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

See the significance?

And since DH bought the car for you and not OW, it proves his love for you, not OW. AND OW knows it, if done soon after A end. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

And I drive the minivan. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

But PEP found the thread about the sports car. It was about dreaming about something with your spouse. YOU can be the person in the convertible with your H. Enjoying life. Even if it is a dream that can not be realized for many years due to finances, etc.

I thought that maybe since your husband and I were following the same script, that you thought it was time for him to buy a new car for you, because I had. SORRY! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Since you brought up mini-vans and moms, LG...I USED to drive a Mom-Mobile. At least it was a Toyota Sienna, not one of the ubiquitous Chrysler products that I see everywhere. RT drives a silver one...I never realized HOW MANY of those there are in this town.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Anyhow, after discovering details about the A, I immediately quit driving the Sienna, and told WH I would never drive it again. Oh, yes: it was descrated by WH and RT before d-day (how's that for true romance?). I now refer to it as the [censored]-wagon.

I now drive the Vibe, which is a cute little car; sporty but not flashy, and much more fun to drive than the mom-mobile. Doesn't do much damage to a Suburban, however....

Yep and God did provide me with the opportunity to pull up beside her in MY CAR...actually I resisted the urge to rearend her before driving along beside her...but didn't want to damage my car... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

LilSis:

You go, Girl! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm driving the 2002 Honda Van... My choice. Traded in the Sportier car to get it. My 14 YO DS is already 6' tall!

DW bought a used bright yellow 99 Saab Convertible not long after in 2003. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

DW decided after DDay, that she wanted to get rid of the Porn-Van...

She realized that I shouldn't end up with a NEW car after having an A! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

So, she had it professionally cleaned and fumigated.... "Gonna wash that slut right outta the car..." Something like that.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

My H finally got rid of the car that they used to ride around in together.

It was that one last remnant of the A and he seemed resistant towards trading it in...

I was so HAPPY TO SEE IT GO...

It was a sporty sedan...

He now drives a SUV....

My car is much nicer than his...

My H has always liked to buy me new cars...

I've had ALL kinds including a SAAB and a CHRYSLER VAN...

That's why I'm so surprised that he never bought her a car since he was SOOOO in love with her....

Oh Well...

I happen to know that she recently got a new car..happened to see her once or twice... which is definitely not the type of car my H would have bought...

Oh Well....

I never mowed the lawn either, I pay to get things done.... Now that DS is 14, I pay HIM to do it... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ok, what kind of car is it? I'm a Car Guy from Detroit, so you just have to fess up, LilSis has!

And you in the hot car? Of Course! Wern't you posting on the thread about succulent women as well???? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

How cool was pulling up next to OW!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> to her!

So do you see the significance of that!

I'm just loving this! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm sorry, LG.

I'm sooo paranoid about anyone in my real life pinpointing who I am here. MBers is my SANCTUARY. Let's just say I drive a sports sedan from a foreign automaker(?)

The scene with the OW was almost surreal.

I pull up behind her..then pass her on a 3 lane highway....she is ANXIOUSLY talking on her cellphone and I'm staring her down as I breeze by in my SHINY CAR with the SHINY RIMS and she is in her raggedy, old car....Then, she starts to tail me for awhile but FINALLY disappears...I look back in my rearview mirror and she is SUDDENLY gone..WAS SHE A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION?... No, it really happened...It happened so fast...
