Mimetic Polyalloy Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hey guys, just around Valentine's day I hope this topic might find some interest (and fun maybe ). Wikipedia states a defintion of WAF in here what you even already might know. So I'm curious how your relationship is reacting on EUC predisposition in general and when "just thinking" about purchasing new items. We all know it's roughly elementary for us but sometimes hard to explain towards outside standing persons... Being a plain mid-aged male forum (from my impression) I think we all have some experience thereof. In my personal case I was very suprised how my wife made up her mind when beginnnig this addiction last year. For sure she was happy I skipped motorcycle activities (to be honest I'm glad too for myself due to increasing Bozo density in nowadays traffic) and even encouraged me to step onwards. Maybe you have corresponding experience? Looking forward for your contribution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Unicyclist Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My Long Suffering Wife (LSW) decided that I was so far gone that she conceded to be my partner in an EUC business... I probably should have bought her some flowers for Valentines day, but I was too busy riding marketing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My GF doesn't even know I ride an EUC. She thinks I'm having an affair. With EUniCe, I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My wife tolerates me riding but would rather that I participated in something safer such as knitting. I fell a few weeks ago and now realize I have injured my other shoulder. Letting her know would immediately terminate my hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did take a few good tumbles. You know, you're in the perfect position to suggest an affair of your own. After all, an affair wont threaten your livelihood. If you frame the conversation properly, she might even suggest it herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to see ortho on Monday for my 1 year post op xray on the left shoulder so I’ll probably have the surgeon examine it then. I didn’t believe it was a sustained injury until yesterday when I was finishing up on the flood damaged basement. Painting overhead makes me cringe. I’m experimenting with extra padding for my jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is just a slight injury. Speaking of wives. My wife said when watching the video, Isn’t that the guy that hurt his shoulder and his wife made housing arrangement threats?

RockyTop Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My wife won’t leave me alone about EUC’s. Nag! Nag! Nag! When are we going to go for an other ride!? Why haven’t we bought a new EUC in the past two months!? How are we going to catch up to Marty if you keep spending all our money on bills!? ........Yep! , Woman?! , .....I know! Right?

LanghamP Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I did teach my girlfriend to ride, who in turn taught her supervisor at work to ride, who in turn bought a mini pro for his wife (who never learned after a year). If, God forbid, you do have a wife, then it is no great leap to teach her to ride, as learning these EUCs with some help is not very difficult.

IRK Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Does constantly sending me out for errands on my EUC count as acceptance by a wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblade Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The WAF in my case was pretty low, It was a pretty tough sell convincing her why this 40-something man wanted to spend $900 to try out this "one wheeled hoverboard thingy" (hell, I was wondering if it was a good idea too, but I found myself REALLY wanting one anyway!). Well after me yacking about them for months she bought me the one I had my eye on or Christmas. I am very happy with getting it, man these things are fun and addicting! Unfortunately, (thanks much to @The Fat Unicyclist :-) ) now I really want a King Song 18XL for my 2nd model to haul my heavy butt up the hills we have around here. I haven't brought up that I'd like to now spend more than double the first hard sell for another one yet, hehe! (Only 2 months later!) I'm trying to teach her and my 13yo son how to ride, so they'll understand how fun they are and then we'll hopefully "need" 1-2 more EUC's around here :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make it too obvious. Your son is the best candidate. Once he's hooked (wow! sounds like a drug dealer), father and son "bonding" rides are just a stone's throw away, and mamma can have the house to herself on weekends. Its a win-win-win situation. 18XL by the summer? I guarantee it (family finances not withstanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
