You just gotta know when to say when.
Setting those expectations early on helps. Hell, when we were dating, she helped me wet sand my Trans Am. My wife is good for me, she knew I wanted a car (not sure she expected multiples), and she lets me do what I want, as long as I stay within reason. I guess she figures it keeps me out of trouble, and keeps me happy. Plus I let her do what she wants. I think some guys miss that, they don’t want their girls/wives going out w/o them. That is dumb-it has to be give & take. She goes out with her friends and I’ll stay home with the kiddies. Everyone is happy.
I have also learned to read the signs when I am pushing my luck, which is often.
