My wife HATES my car.

*Just to provide some context before continuing so it makes sense, I'm Muslim and looking for someone with the same beliefs, unfortunately I live in one of the least ethnically/culturally/religiously-diverse places in the country so I'm almost entirely dependent on phone/online apps and my extended family on the east coast. I'm not opposed to meeting and talking to non-Muslim women locally I just never seem to meet any that I find interesting or attractive, who are still single lol. And when the time comes to tie the knot I don't want our differences in religion becoming an issue because sooner or later it always does.*

So...... I was briefly "married" in my early 20s (around 2015) to a super hot but bitchy and just all-around terrible woman of Syrian descent but raised in Dubai (RED FLAG if you are familiar with that place). I was as naive as can be, had no prior relationship experience and was wooed by her smoking looks. LONG story short, her mother forced her to marry me so she (the MOTHER) could get citizenship. This girl did not even enjoy being around me, I once asked "hey you spend all day in the bedroom watching TV, I could use some help out in the garage or at least some company" her response was "Ehhh no, I don't do those kinds of things." She would rather hang out with friends or her phone/laptop than with me. Thankfully we were living with my parents and my mother would not let a day go by without telling me how that girl didn't love me and she wanted her out of her house and out of my life. Her constant pressure finally got me to figure things out... lots more I could tell but it's all just bad memories and hard lessons, I've moved on.

Now I've been searching for the next one for the past 6 years or so and the FIRST thing I always bring up is that I am passionate about working on cars and engines and it's a big part of my life. Based on their reaction to that it's either go or no-go. One girl I'm chatting with right now was super impressed when I told her I build engines as a hobby... BIG check mark there!!! "That's so cool you have the skills to work on something so intricate, you must be pretty smart and a helpful guy to have around!" :D:D Also gotta agree on things like career plans, college, raising kids when the time comes, managing money... if we don't see eye-to-eye on ALL those issues it's on to the next girl! I've talked to at least 30 women over the past 6 years and met maybe 10-15 of them and we didn't get past the talking stage for various reasons. But one thing is for sure, the only ones I bother with are ones who are AT LEAST respectful of my hobbies and see the benefit of having someone good at fixing things as a husband.

Oh and when the time comes to get to the legal marriage part you can bet your asses I'm gonna have a nice thorough prenup drafted! I'm not trying to get shafted by our broken/outdated and biased marriage/divorce laws here.

Not sure exactly what advice to give the OP but all I know is I could not allow myself to be in a situation like that. If she doesn't like the car itself but is still supportive and helpful in your Mopar lifestyle I'd say that's acceptable and can be worked out but if not... sorry to say that's just not wife material, at least for me. I'd be depressed ALL THE TIME having to live with someone like that.
