She was "upset" that I "lied" to her and kept secrets ... lies of omission, which (in her words) is almost as bad as straight up lying.

I can't seem to win.

Don, Thank you for starting this thread. I myself am a very private person and don't share much. Even to my wife. She hates that.

I feel you on this one, man. I can't seem to win on various topics either. And yes, to some women, "omissions" are considered lies. My wife is one of those, unfortunately. But she's cool overall. Otherwise, I wouldn't have married her!

My GF and I have been together nine years, both previously married and handle things the same way. Works out great.

Hope it works out great for me and my wife! We talked money prior to marriage. We agreed on separate accounts and my money/her money / "house" money. We've had a couple of hiccups here and there, but nothing too out of control.

DetailKitty *IS* a woman! I always wondered...and sometimes would think, This dude is really secure with himself - now I know.

I loved your response! Sounds like you're a keeper yourself. :)

The thing is Joe, and don't take this the wrong way, but if you air your laundry on a public forum expect to get feedback, either way.

That is true. One should even *expect* both good and bad.

*I* DID start this thread, so I deserve what I get. Good OR bad.

Glad you can take both. Good sport.


I usually don't read some of these threads. Sometimes I get curious though. And sometimes, I'm glad I read them. I'm about two weeks shy of being married for one year. My first marriage. And I haven't seen many examples of successful marriages. My point? I'm glad there are those willing to bring their business to the online community, and also glad that others can chime in with their own thoughts and experiences. It helps, it really does.

Thank you, all

That's her biggest issue ... I don't "talk" to her. 27 years of being a cop makes you learn to keep your mouth shut and not say much ... except on an anonymous forum where know one really "knows" me and can't hurt me.

You are pretty brave for sharing all of this on a public forum... although AG is pretty tame and I'd like to think we are all civilized here.
 
Wife happened to open credit card bill this month (usually I get home first and get mail), saw about $1500 in detailing purchases last month, rolled eyes and said "You sure you don't wanna at least charge people for supplies when you do their cars?" Nah...that wouldn't be very fun.

That said, had I seen $1500 worth of shoe purchases by her in the last month I might said something snarky like "Just how many feet do you have?" which we all know wouldn't have helped anything.

Eh, all money goes to joint account(s)...and gotta admit last month was a bit excessive...so many coatings to try.

Everyone is different though so whatever works for you is the right thing for you as long as you go to bed happy at the end of the day.

True enough.

That said, am I wrong to hear that you spent $1500 on product, and you have the unmitigated audacity to go with the screen name BudgetPlan1?? :laughing::laughing:

I think the purchases were listed in the budget under line item "Valid Impulse Curiosity". Is it bad that food was further down the list?

See...there is a, uh, 'Budget'...of sorts.

$1500 in personal detailing products...
$1500 in shoes...

3 kilobucks in one month on discretionary personal gratification, still cheaper and more productive than some alternatives....

Or... A week long Caribbean Cruise, working on your tan, repeated hangovers and riding a dolphin. (Most of those dolphins have RIDs and marring. Can you polish a Dolphin?)

Better yet, a 3 day vacation in Florida at the Meca of detailing; improving skills, knowledge and hands-on experience with all the latest toys & products!

Plus having Mike at your beck & call to answer a plethora of questions and provide sage guidance.
