Control - It's like wife swap !
Discussion
Once upon a time, when my wife was but a girl, and I was but a boy, she told me I couldn't buy a motorbike. So incenced was I that I finished with her and bought a Z500. Anyway, we got back together and 23 years she thinks she can use emotional blackmail anytime she like.
In her view cavaliers are boring, average cars, and the best place for them is the scrap heap.
I can actually see her point, but I have a sleeper plan that I've not mentioned to her (which would make it worse)
I've told her, I'm looking for one, and when I find the right one I will buy it.
She's told me, she'll pack my bags for me if that happens.
I've told her emotional blackmail won't wash and I expect her support, unless she wants to be seen as controlling.
I’m happy for anyone and everyone to shout “Get some balls!” , but I just think she’d make a great wife swap subject.
I’d adverse to conflict, but I think the approach is to mention EVERY mk2 cavalier that is for sale UK wide and comment on the good points and the bad points, basically grinding her down, and reminding her every day that I am going to buy one. And when the right one come up, just do it.
TBH it’s now a point of principal.
Should we sign up for wife swap ?

I expect she'll simply withhold the sex and you'll back down like a good 'un. TBH it’s now a point of principal.
If she leaves you, you'll be fine though as you'll now be the proud owner of a rubbish Cavalier with no hope of ever getting a shag again.
Oh. . .

That's not emotional blackmail. Emotional blackmail is tears and tantrums. All your wife is doing is reminding you of the natural law of cause-and-effect.She's told me, she'll pack my bags for me if that happens.

Are you telling us that you only want a Cavalier because your wife doesn't want one? In that case you're as bad as she is.

There are worse things than Vauxhall Can'o'beer ownership.
Like genocide, paedophilia, landmines killing innocent civilians, 'customising' Corsas, er... and, I'm sure there are some others.
But in all conscience, I can't disagree significantly with your wife.
I have no real disagreement with the fact that the car of my dreams is hardly an Aston. Like genocide, paedophilia, landmines killing innocent civilians, 'customising' Corsas, er... and, I'm sure there are some others.

No, I don't want one because she does not want one. I want one, because I don't like modern cars much and I think that the early 80's FWD vauxhalls was a milestone. I'd consider a mk1 astra, but a cavalier hatch is more practical and comfortable. I want one, because I've had 4 and know what I like.
