AIBU for getting upset husband selling family car for his motorbike?

[Carlou]

we do have two cars. I work shiftwork so not in the same hours as everyone else including husband. We 9 years off retiring and kids have grown. Have only just paid off mortgage after a long slog mainly by me whilst he used our money (and my inheritance money) to buy a company of his own (that we sold at considerable loss 3 yrs ago). Now husband insisting he sells HIS car (which has tow bar and we and other family members use regularly as a work horse) so that he can buy his dream motorcycle. He listed the vehicle without even consulting me and wouldn't listen when I tried to talk to him about it. He has a motorcycle in shed he stripped down years ago but never got fixed mainly due to money issues when he wasn't bringing in a wage and I was keeping the household afloat. This one he was going to sell to help finance his dream machine but now he insists he is going to have both! My vehicle is small, and couldn't tow even if it did have a tow bar. Am I wrong to be upset?

And new patios aside, what on earth does he want with a motorcycle in lieu of a car in the UK anyway? The conditions are crap for riding most of the time. Is he following a bunch of riders on social media or something? Because like 90% of those guys live in California where the weather is lovely, it rarely rains, and the motorcycle laws are excellent. The reality for him will be vastly different.

Don't worry OP, he will be like every man who buys their dream machine. Ride it twice then leave it in the garage either getting lovingly restored/modified/tweaked until its a pile of broken crap or polished to within an inch of its life. I'm thinking the former since he already has a broken one.

Seriously though, he's been draining you financially, mentally and emotionally for many many years. When are you going to say enough?

Are you even happy with him? Dump him.

Nope. Nope.

You conceivably need two cars (but if one gets sold it should be the little one, and you then get full use of the big one) but leaving out questions of safety, nobody can ride two motorbikes at one time. If he isn't fixing and either riding or selling the one he has, it makes no sense to get a new one.

My husband hasn't yet ever bought a £300 pushbike (with nothing having to be sold) without discussing it with me. Let alone this kind of thing. He sounds hopeless with money.
