Can we talk honestly

Haaaaa...
Mine is too sharp for me to get away with it. She even checks my bank account on-line almost daily!

OTOH We have some old friends where the husband has been collecting stereo/video/home theather gear longer than me (being as he's 15 years older). He has 2 racks full on each side of his big screen and used to be he'd slip something in the rack when his wife was at work.

Well when we would go over he just held his breath hoping I wouldn't point something new out. Nothing brought me more joy than walking up up to his rack, reaching out and putting my finger on something and saying "HEY IS THIS NEW?" :D

His wife would stop in her steps and come-a-runnin'.... "YOU MEAN THIS ONE IS NEW?????" ROTFLMAO :laughing:

LOL! my wife keeps a keen eye the bank accounts......I have been in the recliner and get a swift kick in the shoes with "what did you buy"? I always ask where was it from.....she always replies that geeky site......ok honey how much did I spend and pull out some cash and say I got it.

Here is where it makes her ill as a hornet ,"Where did you get that money" and I always say the same thing" found it". :laughing:
 
My wife watches our bank account like a hawk. If I do order something or buy it it's usually with my card she doesn't have access to so she never really "knows". I also tend to like to have a good supply of things so the new stuff can just blend in with the rest. And then if she does happen to see it she gets that age old response "I've had that for a long time".
 
Thanks AGers. You all have giving me the green light to buy more stuff and come up with creative ways to hide it.

I love it! :D

Another thing that really gets um', (which I found out less than 5 years into our 35+ year marriage) is when she wants to argue you say;

"Yes dear", and she'll keep it up, then you say "yes dear" and just nod, after 3 or 4 "yes dear's" she will FLIP the F out! As they say, "It takes two to tango" and once you drop out they'll almost choke on their shoes when the only response is "yes dear". :laughing:
Im the MAN
 
Our cars look great and as far as hobbies/activities go, this one's pretty tame, so the wife's been very understanding.

Ive only been married for 2 yrs (im 25) and my wife would throw a fit everytime I would order more "wax stuff" according to her. Her reasoning was "why do you need more car wax, you have enough already". Didnt matter if it was polishes, pads, or other chemicals it was all "wax" to her.

Now that I get regular clients since I do projects on the side and split all my earnings from that with her, she doesnt complain anymore. Imagine that :)

Sounds like mine.

But since I too have started to get regular clients, she leaves me alone. Now I just have to squeeze in a set of BBK shorty headers without her realizing, LoL.

LMAO! Good stuff :D
 
As long as my business is making money she doesn't care. But she use to say what the F another package lol!
 
I always tear up my credit card statements after I viewed it.... u know... cover the TRAIL!... hehehhe.... whenever i get a package, I would sneak it home first. When she saw me googling at my wax... I always say...'nothing new, just checking on my previous order... ^.^
 
Anyone who hides something from their spouse/SO and thinks its cute has really got a relationship problem. Youre being a CHILD, "dont tell mom we broke the lamp" how shamfull is it that you would do something behind your SO's back AND hide it too? WOW. Hard to believe this is real and some think its FUNNY????

Eh...anyone who doesn't think most relationships have problems doesn't look at the divorce statistics. And if you don't think most people are children, you're not an employer, either. You're not going to fix or change people by lecturing them so you might as well laugh a little...a little laughter might help you, too.

Lets trade wives for a year and then we'll see how ya feel. :props:
Ive been happily married for a long time. Being sneaky is the key to a married mans happiness.
 
I laugh about her zappos boxes (usually shoes), she laughs about my PBMA boxes, as long as hers arrives first!! Yes we have a compulsion..... don't need intervention..........yet!!! Very happily married too.

Agreed... It's been said before that the greatest lies are the ones you tell yourself.
 
If the bills are paid on time and the finances are somewhat in order for the most part (notice I said somewhat in order for the most part) how bad is it that my wife hides a pair of shoes or an occasional dress. Besides If I know about it, it ani't hiding. I think the same goes for my car products. Things could be much worse. I tell my wife "listen dear, I don't hang out at strip bars all night, I don't do drugs, I don't cheat, you don't have to bail me out of jail. If I'm online with my AG friends or in the garage with the cars you know where I am. For all that I am, look at all that I'm not." "Now leave me alone I gotta get this 915 off before it's impossible to remove. LOL

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark that you're not married. Just a guess. Otherwise you would know exactly how it is with what everyone is saying. That or your spouse doesn't really care and you have all the money in the world flowing freely to just drop on whatever you desire. All I know is if I would have found AG before I met my wife I would have had a stupid collection of all the best stuff. Before I met her I lived at home with my parents, had $800 a month in expenses at most and made $2000 a month. Do the math and that is a lot of extra money that I still to this day couldn't tell you where it went. That is until I got something better to spend my money on. I've been with her for 4 1/2 years now, got married last June, and love her to death. As long as I round up some side work she doesn't say a whole lot when I "need" to buy more "supplies" lol.

BTW, this thread is a riot to hear all the different "methods" we use lol.

The key here is to have so much that adding something new goes unnoticed.....:D
