After a spell of assiduous courting, a man feels like he knows a girl enough to ask her to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him. She accepts, and as time rolls by each finds that the other is not quite everything that that he or she appeared to be before getting married, but that's O.K if the partners are fairly accommodating.
But what if you're indifferent to all animals and to horses in particular, and your other half is a closet horse lover? What if one day she springs a nasty surprise on you: she wants a horse? Can you take that surprise in your stride? And if you can, what are you really intending to do about it? Will you accede, or will you veto?
In fact you are lost. You are not quite certain about what you must do. You have got the fear that spending on a pony will impact your cosy way of life negatively. You need to stop, take a deep breath and have another think. It requires a real smart man to realise that permitting his wife to purchase the horse she is itching for is about to get him large brownie points. Put aside your fear that a horse could eat you out of hearth and home, without even mentioning all the upkeep and maintenance. You are also reasonably certain that after a while, your better half will be after you to get another pony, so that you can learn to ride too. That way, both of you can take romantic rides together. The thought has you sweating! More cost!
- Prior to doing something that you will regret later , here's a suggestion: you can let your better half have her way and have most of your fears turn out to be unfounded. Just think about this: if your spouse files for divorce because you refused her a pony, the expenses of support could be far, far worse than the expenses of rearing a horse.
- On the other hand, by acceding to her request, you can gain some advantage. What about some quid pro quo? You could remind her that for the last couple of years she has been stopping you from buying that 72' Plasma TV you've been yearning for, as it is expensive, and now she wants a horse! Before you know, you will be watching videos of your spouse riding on a 72' Plasma TV!
- If you kind of ration it out, you can keep squeezing for a long time. You can keep squeezing as long as your spouse keeps riding, because her pony is going to be a continual expense item. There will be no end of feeding and vet visits and grooming and stabling if you put up your wife's horse at a boarding stable. All this adds up to the undeniable fact that for the first time since you got married, you and your spouse are on level playing grounds.
- So think seriously before you refuse your spouse her pony.
