Hi John,

I just got a little side tracked at the moment so I've not really been reading the book, however W is encouraging me to be a superior man in a slightly different way. You see my car, a mid sized VW is on it's last legs and rather than get something of a similar size W wants me to get something big, a big ***** BMW . Well my finances certainly won't stretch that far at the moment although I have promised myself something like that for my 50th in 4 years time when some insurance policies pay out. W doesn't believe I will do it when I am 50 so shes saying do it now. She I says that I am a big guy so I should drive a car that reflects that. I think the reality is she wants me as her H to have one up on her friends H's by saying "My H has a bigger one than your H" (car that is). Well the debate goes on.

W continues to blow hot and cold, let me give you a little example. A couple of weeks ago I came home late and consequently made W 10 mins late for her gym class, the outcome of that was she didn't talk to me for a week. This weekend W came home 2 hours late and I completely missed my gym class and all she could say was "oops... it completely slipped my mind" well I threatened not to speak to her for a week to see how she'd like that, but I'm above all of that stuff now.

So as someone recently said isn't life fun.
