Me or the Club

As said previously by some great sage:

How to make a woman happy?
Allow her to control her life.
How to make her happier?
Allow her to control yours.

Must admit that I've taken my wife a couple of times to Club80 dinners, but unfortunately I spend the night worrying that she's enjoying herself rather than enjoying the night myself. When she says that the night's been "ok", I think to myself, " %^&*$#@? ... bloody ... $@##%&&% ... damned ... $$^&&%$$#$"
I think I've taken my wife to her last Club80 night, but I think that's what I said last time.

Does the good woman read PRE?
 
that was some awesome advice peoples - very funny!!!

Sounds like holding fat on the social club is definitely the go, which is great because its what I wanted to do anyways :D

scary thing though is she actually likes the Tigers and does come to the odd game. we even got our little pup one of the RFC scarves which she wears around the house on game day. everyone at my address supports the yellow and black!

on the make-up, Im not loving it, but she never seriously pushes me on my stuff so you gotta give the girl some fun.

As for the premo response........LOVED the one on her getting the second job :cutelaugh
 
She will see the benefit of social club membership when finals come around for us.

We have a similar thing about our stuff - I don't nag my hubby about his purchases for his computers etc., he doesn't say anything about my memberships, donations etc.

I need help from my PRE Comrades, because my wife to be blunt, is evil.

We are trying to save money to pay off the house more quickly, and we have two areas we agree to quarantine. She doesn't nag me about my RFC membership (have standard membership, reserve seat grade A, and social club), and I dont nag her about make-up purchases.

She has tried to get me to dump the social club, but I point out RFC is non-negotiable and she backs off.

Until recently....

I converted her before we were married (a precondition), so she is now a committed Richmond fan. However she has rejected any offer by me to buy her a membership, and dont suggest buying it as a gift (have been informed if this happens my love life becomes that of a 12 year old boy :().

Recently she found out how much the social club costs, and made an offer.

Dump the social club membership, and she agrees to be a member in 2008.

Now this will benefit the club in that we get another member, and still get a decent chunk of change from me. HOWEVER, this means I miss out on the social club perks (that guaranteed GF ticket access will be useful in 2011), but more importantly she gets a win as I compromise on the uncompromisable.

So peoples, what should I do??

Sucks to be you.
 
Well Tiger74, what other ways have you investigated to pay off your mortage earlier? Put your car on LPG? I did this. Cost me $600 after the $2000 rebate and my fuel bill is about 40% of what it used to be. More use of public transport? Less grog...ok scrap that one... less take away...scrap the useless Foxtel? There must be other avenues.
