So buying a new Charger can induce long periods of silence from the wife? That should boost the sales figures!
I may be Layin low for a while

The Caddy has an old-man rep, (fits right in at home) hearses, golf club car-park, uncle Mat in the old-folks home, but what about the ATS-V ?
Not up to Charger standards though.

Communication is important (everyone agree) and if your soul mate won't talk to you then YOU need to fix it, maybe a matching Harley would get her to open up a bit, everyone agree? Oh and your son will be smiling ear to ear, win win.
Hope I got at least a smile out of you friend, but then again that's what I did, oh happy days are here again.

Thanks for all the kind words ya'll. it makes me feel a little better.
Here's a little update. I vacuumed the whole house, did laundry, washed her breakfast pan (I never wash dishes), went to the store and filled the fridge and pantry, picked up my son from school and just finished spending 3 hours doing a full detail of her van.
Not a word. And she's been here all day. My son told me last night as I lay next to him in bed to sleep That my 12 year old daughter was crying asking mom why she's being such a jerk to dad
This sucks
Gonna try roses while she's at work tomorrow.

sometimes when you give too much of yourself for a long time it winds up just being taken for granted to the point that you're no longer expected to, or even allowed to be any kind of selfish at all. I'm betting she feels it's selfish (I know, I know, but forget logic for a second) and then there's probably also a little bit of envy. not envy for the car itself, but envy that you might look good in it and envy that maybe you are trying to look good in it, hmmm. women can be nuts sometimes, she's prolly picturing you picking up a bunch of mini skirts in your new ride or something 
.. oh hell, in the end you're never gonna really figure out a woman's logic 
drama aside, sick ride bro, I always love big powerful cars, def can't drive anything wimpy, I like to drive beasts

Wows she's laying it on thick. Prob thinking she may want to get mad at you more often even. Haha..
She did know about the car before you brought it home right?? It's not like you just came home put of no where without telling her about the car first right?
Ya better get you some reservations to some nice resturant she likes for Friday night! Put that on the card for the roses. Something she can't ignore.

My math teacher being a good ol' Bama boy always told us a joke. This is copy and pasted from google, but it's the same joke
""A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish."
The sunny California sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice, and the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take over thousands of miles! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honour and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say " nothing!", and how I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge!""
I'm always the nice guy and will always put someone before myself. It always seems to backfire when we try to do something for ourselves. This will all work out in time.
I'm lucky my girlfriend, technically fiance when I move to Canada and formally propose, she's okay with whatever I do. I only get a "hell naw" to the motorcycle idea haha. As long as I get her a toyota tundra when she gets her farm to haul horses, I'm allowed to do anything. Although when she gets Brandt at the end of her name that mindset might change. Although being friends for 8 years now, I don't think that would happen. I even got her to try vaping haha. She doesn't smoke, but got some 0mg so she could try it out. Was curious why I liked it. This was on the beach when she was here over Christmas.

I feel like I should come in and defend the female side of humanity!! I'd LOVE it if my husband would do more stuff for himself...he bought his truck after hemming and hawwing. I told him just to do it and be done with his clunker. We could afford it and he DESERVED it.
Now if my husband were to do something disrespectful towards my person (rare if at all) THEN I'd expect groveling but it would have to mean he was GENUINELY sorry. I don't see what you have to be SORRY for and unless you take the car back (DON'T) then I don't think all the cleaning and (likely temporary, for this purpose) help you give around the house in order to appease her is going to mean a darn.
I don't know you and I don't know your life but I'd stand my ground on this. I don't see what the big deal is. You bought a car like every other working American can. Like I and another poster said before, the car might represent what she has some insecurities about. I don't see how treating you badly in the meantime is going to achieve whatever solution she wants to achieve. If she wants to fight about it, let her fight by herself. She'll wear herself out over time.
Now I'll .... out of this issue but I sure do hope it's over soon. Good luck Man.

8 speed gearbox?! I'd say it doesn't give you a lot per gallon...Thanks ya'll. yep it's got a hemi
Life is gonna be living hell for a while. This may be insurmountable. Dunno. First time I've ever went against her wishes.
Did I mention that it cost less than my Honda Pilot too?
Ok. It's all good. She made dinner for the family tonight (hey, that's my job!). I was Layin low upstairs with the kids after my shower. She calls out "dinner". I told the kids to give me a signal if there's a plate for me. It was supposed to be just a simple "yes". My oldest came running up the stairs. He nods with a big ol smile and runs over and hugs me. So I went and dressed nice and winston-ey and took my place at the table. It was delicious. I ate my last meal on like Sunday. Yep. I've lost 12 pounds . Dinner went great and there was a lot of kissing and hugging and the kids saying "ok you guys can stop now" . So we are good back like before except I will vacuum for my wife every week. It's a lot of work.
I also will play with her hair more when I'm in bed watching TV (she loves me running my hands thru her hair). It's just that I usually wanna play with other stuff
Thanks ya'll. I finally really got a moment to enjoy the car when we ran to Walmart to get the correct iron after dinner. Well I'm off to play with hair. Life is great.
Thank you to everyone who has given me inspiration and perspective
Ya'll rock
Edit: she told me that she was upset because we always go together to get our cars. Kinda like I left her out.

Glad to hear it work out bud. I can understand her reasoning behind that part. Then you get her to the dealer for 3 hours to make a deal and she gets bored. It's how my mom is with my dad haha.
