Now that's fighting talk

Mate, you do what you feel you have to do, but if you ditch the bike and not the bird you won't get any sympathy here

You know it makes sense....

Good man. If she gives you any hassle then call us up and we'll all tell her that we told you she was right and we don't understand how you could be so selfish!!!

Seriously dude, it's the right decision otherwise you'd never have been swayed by such sad tossers as us. Life's too short

frith street, this friday?

go on, you know you want to........

well I told her the good news and well it wasnt so bad, got the liar speech (used to that one), she keeps giving me evils (used to that), keeps doing that 'gaze into space because im just so hurt look' but all in all I think I got away with it ok!

Ive thought about my uncle the last few days, he was a hardcore biker when I go round to see him you can see he so wants a go on my bike, so im like 'go on then, heres the keys' then his missus appears in the porch ' no neil!'. Sod that man, im off to buy a new pipe.

.....I can already tell you know you've made the right choice......

If you want to stop, then stop, but if you don't want to stop it shouldn't be someone else's - whoever they are - decision, giving up on something can be a source of resentment when it's been prompted by feelings not entirely your own, that said, you should respect others wishes and feelings, particularly a long term/life partner, but they in return ought to do the same, not apply pressure to get their way.

If your riding a bike really upsets her, then maybe you might, because you wouldn't want to make her unhappy, be guided, not instructed, by her feelings, but not like this. This way is a recipe for festering ill feeling.

You've made the right choice! You shouldn't stop doing something you love just because someone else doesn't like it. If you truly didn't want to ride anymore then fair enough but stopping doing something just because of your partner, thats a no no, and you could easily start resenting them. Not a good situation.
