Does everyone have this amount of clothes?

You give the impression of being a person who is proud of their appearance, and feel you are the best dressed person at events. So it won't bother you what other people are saying, and for all you know they could be saying 'Splitinfinity is wearing that old suit again - he's worn that to the last three weddings'!

Perhaps, but I think it is more than likely the other way round. In my circle of friends, around my age, in their late 20's/early 30s. From what I've seen, their usual attire is the jeans/tshirt/trainers look. At a wedding, the same old black suit/white tie/black shoes. So how they can turn around and tell me I am wearing the same outfit 3 times in a row, is beyond me - with 4 suits, 4 waistcoats, lots of different shirts, accent peices (ties/pocket squares/belts/shoes) - every wedding I go to is probably a whole new look.

Mrs G uses each other as clothes sounding boards too... and I am brave enough to say NO, as is she. Some of the clothes she gets the most complements in have been bought by me which, more often than not, results in surprised looks when other women ask where she got them.

She will always ask for my opinion when doing a wardrobe cull too.

Foundinrates has bought me some lovely things too. . Sometimes though his gifts are really wide of the mark. Some hideous pat butcher earrings because he got the idea that I was wearing dangly ones, so thought the more impressive the better:eek:, and he has sometimes really showed me by pointing out shoes my mother might wear, or a dress that is more time forgotten than 'timeless'.

The things he gets right are really right though, so I forgive him! He found the most gorgeous skirt on the Internet he is suggesting I buy for winter, its really stunning, but its felt, and i'm sure I would wear felt or how it would last or anything, but its so beautiful i would have sent it to him for an opinion had I seen it first!

Well, that answers my next question as to whose car you got rid of.;)

It doesn't actually. I sold my car. Which was the more fuel inefficient out of the 2.

You appear to have some serious issues with seeing me and my wife being happy. I just don't understand it. If my wife isn't complaining, why are you?

And just like she influences me in some ways and passes on her ideas to me - i.e. like how best to use a slow cooker or try some funky new recipe or restaurant, to upgrade her phone etc or when gets me join her whilst she watches her favourite TV shows or add her favourite music CD's to my car. I too discuss and share my ideas with her. i.e. what do you think of this song, shall we watch the new avengers movie, do you like this colour for a shirt, what do you think of this mobile phone etc

I think what missbiggles is getting at is that you refer to both cars - the one you sold and the one your wife adds her CDs to - as 'mine' as opposed to 'ours'.

No, she does not. She clearly asked whose car was sold. Furthermore, when we had 2 cars, we used our own cars for our needs, (i.e. my car, my MOT expense, my road tax expense). Now that we have a single car between the 2 of us. It is our car.

To be honest missbiggles is just been a bit of a PITA, going offtopic with her pseudo psychology and dominant male analogy.

TBH, on this board there's very few threads that stick to the original topic.

No I didn't (although I was certainly planning to;)).

You're obviously not used to assertive women, are you?

Well its on thing to go off topic. Completely another to impose your bad relationship issues on another couple who are actually quite happy. I cannot see why missbiggles seems so riled that my wife agrees on some things with me or why I agree to some of her requests.

Missbiggles is working very hard to make it appear that, if I ask my wife to try something new, it is some form of domination or a dictatorship relationship. Perhaps missbiggles has experienced this and left her OH, or so she says; But that is hardly any reason to question my relationship and consistently try and poke holes in it. What car we sold? Really, your going to come out with "oh now we know whose car you sold" as if it is some sort of freudian way of indicating that my wife is under my thumb or something. You fail to take into consideration that people sell cars, for other reasons (perhaps mechanical faults or running costs or cost of insurance, or suitability to lifestyle). If my wife is happy to remove some of her wardrobe, then so be it. I am not belting her to make it happen. In all seriousness, for the last few hours, from reading your responses, you just come across as an internet troll, and very unhappy to see someone else happy.

Thank you for confirming what I have just said. You are a master level troll.

Looks like your winter (or any) evenings don't pass by quick. Keep trying to poke holes in other peoples relationships, it is surely the better option than finding an OH or being happy in life.

You have yet to answer any of my counter arguments to you. like post #164 and #174. And there are yet more poeple on the thread, saying they bounce ideas with their OH's and yet you still seem to assume that this is somehow bad for a couple. Please explain how this is so, using your pseudo-psychology, doctorbiggles.

Splitinfinty - your pomposity makes me chuckle. I suspect that your idea of stylish clothing runs more at the "Designers at Debenhams" level rather than Armani Collezioni.

Top tip - don't brag about the cut of your collars and cuffs if you have just bought them from a high street chain store, it just makes you look silly. I've got knickers that cost more than a TM Lewin shirt
