This Jay Leno’s Garage episode made me laugh because it’s me all day. The part where the other guy sees a car that only he or other car guys know is rare and he says “I have to have it”, we (car guys) all say that when we see “THAT car” because of that one thing. So we buy it. That’s me. And when Jay Leno tricks his wife into traveling somewhere that she’s eager to go because it sounds romantic. But when they get there, he tells her he wants to go to this barn. Inside the barn is an old car he wants to look at, maybe to buy. Then his wife figures it out because she know his love of cars…”You just wanted to come out here to look at a car!” That’s also me. The trick eventually doesn’t work anymore. ��

I watched that video. That old ass car is a pos. You like that car, PB? I heard his comments about trying to find other ways to convince the wife so he can buy another car LOL. That’s another reason I won’t marry. Think about it, if you never married, you’d have a motorcycle, and knowing you, more than one. And I know you want one. A guy I work with collects vintage collectibles but he has to sell some of it because his wife complains.

You make it sound like I've made these decisions by myself. These are plans we've made together and will share in. It's going to be months before he can sell his house.
My agzg sister knows and understands what I'm doing and why. We have a ton of legal and financial playing to do. We have to consolidate our homes. He can't qualify for two simultaneous mortgages so he couldn't be on this mortgage right now. Honestly, this isn't even your business. We're sick of driving
5 hours every other weekend to be together so I'm moving to that side of the state. We're working together to get his house in his enough shape to sell it. Then he'll move in and we'll figure out when we want to get married. We have adult children to do estate planning for and he has one who needs lifelong assistance.
I do not make the decisions. He does not matter the decisions. We talk things through and problem solve and figure out what's best for us as a couple. That's why this is going to work.

If I were y’all, I’d just move closer like you’re doing, and stay committed without doing the marriage thing. You don’t have to marry to be together. I work with a lady who’s been with her dude for 30 years without getting married.
