    Recently I had a similar decision to make.
     
    The Escort had been around since April 1986.
    The girlfriend had been around since February 2001.
     
    Not hard to decide.
    I chose the one that had been around the longest.

    If my girlfriend gave me a decision like that to make she's not worth having.

    Sometimes it comes down to security/jealousy/control issues, even for mature age women in long term relationships.
     
    If they see something is taking your time and your attention away from them, they try to split you from the car or whatever you are interested in. Several of my friends were pressured into selling their cars which had been around long before their girlfriend or wife had been on the scene. If you give in they will try it again on other things.
     
    Mine got even more upset because 16 months ago I chose to restore another RS2000 without asking her permission first. To her it was like there was another woman in our relationship, even though she never saw the car and that the my time working on it never came out of our relationship time together. It was just "there" to her.

    You hit that nail on the head Peter........... I had one a while back that once she worked out she couldn't take it out on me (I have a hard head lol) she'd take to the car and I'd bite. Game over..... The new one comes from a speedway family she understands and encourages my hobby. She'll be the first girly I'll let drive my car although I'm still dubious, not that she's a bad driver, she'll probably give it more stick than me
    Cheers Drewdog..........

    "My advice, give her, her vice and she'll give you yours....."
     
    In a balanced healthy relationship this is very good advice and should happen naturally.
     
    In an unhealthy relationship where she has controls on most things (including you), you will find that if you give her everything, it still will not be enough.

    Are you using the word "entitlement" in the sense that "I will do what I want and you are to do what I want"? Or better still "you are to abide by the usual relationship rules, however there are two rules for me and I will do what I want and when I want"? Obviously this never enters the spoken word but assumed using various emotional pressures and control over time. (referring back to the subject of this thread which is a choice between me or the escort).
