Blatantly I'm seeking single life
This weekend after roughly a year of debating, I spent the majority of our savings on a bike and accessories, after not pedalling for roughly 13 years.
She was fully aware of my interest, and I know I had her support for buying one, but the "WHEN" had not been mentioned as of yet
Personally I think at the age of 31 I can make these decisions on my own
She however, will probably disagree
How do I confess
Someone tell me the best approach please!!!
A soon to be single new rider
So you spent joint cash on your hobby. Confess and repay half?
MTFU
not even joint money... my peronal savings, plus a little on the credit card...
you know the golden rule
"whats mine is hers and and whats hers remains hers" lol
She'll be ok, i think
Fastest change of story ever....
Make up your mind, joint or not? if you're going to troll work a little harder pleaseI spent the majority of our savings on a bike
fair point, but how to tell her i spent a large amount of money???
Regardless of who's money it is/was
Oops double post
my savings... could be used by either of us really
Option 1) She'll be pissed for a bit, and then get over it.
Option 2) She'll just agree that you've earnt it, and be relaxed about the purchase (but also make you know that you probably should have mentioned it [i]before[/i] splurging the cash)
Option 3) She's been looking forward to move on from this dead-end relationship and this is the catalyst
Good luck!
I'd suggest at this stage popping your hand down into your pants and counting them. If your asking in here it's either a jokey thread, a troll or you have some bigger relationship issues.
Trailing leg thread alert, trailing leg thread alert.

WTF...Bring back Victorian man and grow some.. 🙂
Why have you not pedalled in 13 years? Weirdo! Unless it was because of injury or illness in which case you're not weird.
To make up to her, this weekend build a new shoe cupboard.
Because there's going to be a whole load of new shoes in the next week or so.
Better up the limit on your card too.
Biggest regret of my life giving up riding
Just kinda lost interest in my teens when I kept going out to the pub. Big mistake.
Got friends that still ride. So I have no excuses
Welcome to the forum.
Poor troll for your first post.
I'm thinking of a trip to the travel agent. Sure she'd love a holiday lol
Better to ask for forgiveness than permission
IMHO its [ depending on which of your stories is true] its not reasonable to spend joint money , on yourself, without a discussion.

Somewhere in the Alps maybe? In for a penny... 😉
I have no idea what the question is.
You may need the bike to escape the wrath.
Why do people keep saying pissed meaning annoyed?
We're British
Pissed off is the phrase you're looking for
you know the golden rule
er, no?
Either I got lucky with a 'rule-breaker' or you might be projecting yr experience onto all relationships. worth a thought...
First Mumsnet troll attack seen here?
If it was from a joint account then ask for forgiveness. If it was your personal savings and a credit card you are reaponsible for why do you even need to tell her what it cost? If it's that much of an issue she'd split with you for it I'd venture you are better off single. Unless of course you've gone and spent money you really can't afford and it impacts your ability to cover household expenses.
There I was thinking we were about to welcome another singlespeeder to the fold.
When she bins you you will have a load of time spare for riding.
Will you be seeking permission/forgiveness from all the other people who have no say in what you spend your money on too?
She's been told... Wasn't bothered in the slightest lol
I have been warned that I needn't bother disappearing every weekend though haha
Roll on the delivery date
What did you get?
If not bothered in the slightest, hope she doesn't know your STW account name, as this thread might change all that.
Come on what you bought?
Welcome alan 😉
She'll be happy when you're out from under her feet.....now to find a bike for mop jr Haha
you have to sire a child by her now
thems the trade-offs we have to make
Haha
I've got a cube fritzz 180
Apparently it's alright, but to be honest. Ain't got a clue lol
mop84 - MemberShe's been told... Wasn't bothered in the slightest lol
Obviously, she is having an affair!
Don't pass up this golden opportunity. Buy yourself another bike real quick! 😮
