i would rather have the smallest seat on my bike possible.. if this were to solve a problem i would rather do this than spend money on a seat i would probably hate in the long run

I think our forum mate Daniii had one of these for sale once, you might get a ride report from him.
His wife got her own sporty, but they used to do some long rides 2 up.
Butty Buddy for sale
I had a Sundowner 2 up seat for my LowRider, the passenger pad was really too wide to tolerate cosmetically, but should have been comfy, it was only $240 on sale and was easily installed and removed, you might consider having a whole spare seat to swap when your wife wants to go.

spare seat is a great idea .And its cheaper than buyin her a new bike.
But If you leave it the way it s and she uncomfortable itll giver her some incentive to get her own bike maybe deep down thats what she really wants.
The two of you on you own bikes would be Badazz..

I'm no relationship expert here, but I gotta say that purposely leaving a seat uncomfortable for your wife, hoping to get a certain reaction, just may yield a reaction you DON'T want. Going that route will incite friction every time you mention going out on the bike, without her. Gaurenteed. 
Most women I know would tell you that if the bike is BOTH OF YOURS, (married...remember?) that is has to be comfortable for her/them as well. Ironically, my wife has never referred to MY bike as OURS, but I know a few women that thought that way...... 
Yes, it would be an incentive to get their own, but my wife doesn't want to drive, just be a passenger. So.....there has to be some middle of the road....
I have a Badlander seat as well. Not very comfy for the wife. I fold a towel that she can sit on, if we're going more then 30 minutes. She's fine with that.....
