My first wife tried to make me lose my masculinity, to acquiesce to her and obey. She tried everything for 8 years, and realized I would not budge because I was the responsible party and her choices would ruin me financially, then she could leave when she wanted with me holding the bag.
We have been divorced since 2001 and she STILL complains to our daughters that I bought my 1970 GTO in 1994 for $1000. She says that I did what I wanted no matter if she said I couldn't. Well, yeah, I earned the money, paid for everything, and she barely heated up hamburger helper. I taught my kids to crawl, walk, ride bikes, read, count, multiply, divide, colors, shapes, running PCs, and when they were teens I taught them to drive. She taught them to be promiscuous and to shoplift.
My second ex wife was better, but still did the same thing when she hit 30 in 2013. I'm done with women now. I like them, talk to them, look at them, like to spend time with them... but I cannot trust them and there is no damn way I will commit to one. Its not that they all will act wrong, its that they can and they will be rewarded at my expense for it.
So I build old cars, live alone in the woods, and don't concern myself with making lots of money. Rather than paying for things, I DO things. Built my house, the shop where I build my cars, I make fuel for my cars, grow my food, and have been working on quiet inexpensive electricity production. Money is not what drives me, it never has been. What I do with my time, mind, and hands is what is important to me.
I still have that 70 GTO, along with four other GTOs, and 11 Firebirds. They aren't show cars, they do what I want them to do, and they do it well. I build cars into the vision I have in my head, they are for my enjoyment, not yours. If you like them, thats cool, but they are not to impress you. They are built to impress me.

@hitmonlee6062 yep, it takes both people acting right. I held up my end, they dropped the ball and failed on theirs. After all the chances I gave the first, the second only got one chance. I kicked her out via text. She is not having a good life now.
Some people see me driving my cars, with a gray beard and hair, then assume its some mid life crisis thing. I never had one of those, because I have done so freakin much in my life that there is very little to regret. After I turned 23 I had already proven I can do damn near anything. Desert Shield/Storm proved I can do things very few others can. Besides, I have been driving these cars since the 80s, its not like I went out and bought one last week, I've had most of them for decades.
Its a good way to spend your time when not at work, building something with your hands is very rewarding for men. Its what we are built to do.

@sweetiespoon5150 thats a long winded 'not all women are like that'
YES YOU ARE. The only ones that aren't are the ones that realize they can't do better. If she thinks she can, she will do the same thing all of you do. Its not a dig, we are not judging you, but YOU are judging you. Its your nature, its how all of you are, and we accept it, you should too.
However it would do you well to restrain your nature rather than just saying you do and rationalizing it when you don't. You can tell yourself you aren't like that, but from the outside you're nearly indistinguishable from the rest of them, the wrapper changes but the predictability of women is the same. Once we know you, we can predict what you are going to do before you do it. :)
No worries though, you're still a good person, unless you are into hard chemicals or have pine boxed someone innocent.
