So while making a "wish list" of some things I like to get, my gf saw it on the computer and saw the price of this wish list. Immediately the LOOK was given and I knew right then and there the "talk" was next. For the next 35 minutes, I was given a beat down on how my hobby is becoming an addiction. I told her I'm fine, I got it under control. She told me that another order over 200 is not ok and all I do is clean our cars and work on lighting and work in the garage. She loves the clean cars but said I love cleaning them too much. After saying ok Ill slow down I went into garage and worked on making my work bench. I then put up my AG Banner and was so impressed and honored to have it in my garage with light on it. She came in saw banner and I quote "Really? How much this cost you?" Told her nothing....once you meet a certain mark you get a free banner. Then another a$$ chewing so went out bought Im sorry steaks and nice wine. So for now Im in the clear, but I need to learn how to time fedex to come when Im home and she's not.
 
Wow...I got the same speech a couple of weeks ago around my "Addiction" as she likes to call it these days. My wife also saw my wish list and asked what the total would come... she was guessing 200 or so? Phhhht just the tornador black is 200 alone... which led to the question "What is that and what else do you have to buy for it to work?" Lately she has let me drool over all of the tools and products I have on my list for my B-day purchase this month.

Easy solution. I'll PM you my address, just have the orders shipped to me.:laughing:

My wife thinks I'm nuts too.
 
Maybe it's just me, and I mean no disrespect at all, but I'm bothered by the fact that this is a girlfriend not a wife. I can see people gettin grief from wives but not girlfriends.

There are SSSSSOOOO many other "addictions" you could be into. My fiancé told me that she'd rather me be on AGO than online lookin at porn. She need to be thankful you have a healthy habit and not no drug addict or alcoholic.

My addiction to car care is a HUGE stress reliever for me. Most of my close friends are in Columbus, OH so I don't get a guys night out. Detailing cars is my guys might out.

Honestly man....your girlfriend should be thankful to have someone who ain't in that's streets actin like a fool.

Could be worse, look at Kobe. An "I'm sorry diamond" as big as Gibralter and an "I'm sorry house" for her Mom to boot. I'd say steaks is geting off cheap...

"gf"... as in girlfriend... I know from experience that marriage is the purest form of communism but your "gf" has input on how you spend your money.... why?!?

I'll admit, there's a reason I'm not married. I refuse to ask for permission on how to spend money I earn nor will I tolerate the silent treatment or being in the proverbial "doghouse". If you're thinking long term with this lady you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

She probably got tired of using her "get it on the side free card" and figure she didn't have to AND still get to spend his money since they didn't have a prenup
 
Its all good she knows how much I love it she wants to make sure I don't go overboard, which I have a habit of doing. Im going to paramedic school soon and won't be working for 6 months. i have a mortgage and all other bills to pay and she doesn't want me stressing over money on top of school.
 
I don't have a girlfriend or wife to badger me if I overspend on detailing products, just two kids that I guilt trip over because I feel like I might be neglecting some of their wants or needs. That will pretty much keep me in check, but everything in life has to be balanced, right? Alko is right on about this hobby being a better alternative than lot of other choices a person could make in how they spend their time and money.
 
I would say that as long as you are not putting yourself in a bad financial position by your purchases, you are ok.

That being said, get some solid products and use them until they are finished. Sometimes I think that I have too many products that I will never finish.
 
you know she'll eventually find out right (it's like they know)? then you will get in even more trouble for trying to hide it from her, and then more drama unfolds...
 
If you had a detail business you wouldn't have to justify any of your purchases to her.
 
My wife is wary but has faith I mean what I say ..... the inventory I have established in the last year will last awhile. I am the long-term thinker in our marriage and handle the finances. I know how to stretch a dollar and use other people's money.

Actually, she has always been OCD for as long as I remember so the fact that I have become obsessive about cleaning "something" she doesn't complain. She drives my car more than her DD; pretty funny. Also, which I thought was kind of nice, she said if this is the result of my mid-life crisis she is thankful - considering what other husbands wind up doing.
 
Tell her she's addicted to "chewing your a$$" and when she kicks that habit you'll kick yours :-)
