Just curious as to if anyother forum members lie to their spouses regarding purchases and to what degree.

I generally (on purchases for myself) try and deduct 15-20% off the actual cost of item. I know my wifes threshold as to what she will accept (without receipt proof) versus when she will ask for 7 types of proof.

Anyone else have this dilemma???? Or something comparable

Yes.

Frank my man....figured you would have more to say ..

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i get it. you just are using me as a pad opportunity -----

I'm lucky in that regard. Every single upgrade for my H2 my wife has given to me as a gift. GPS, Gobi rack, winch, wheels. Does that make me a gigolo?

The only thing I've bought is some of the lighting and the last set of tires.

Actually, YES. that does make you a gigolo. Not that there is anything wrong with it

It's not a lie if you forget to mention it.

just open another bank account that you only have access to and have a portion of your paychecks go to it.

I call it my hobby fund. It's worked great for me.

Thank god my wife doesn't read this or I'd be in big trouble!

This reminds me of that old saying - "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission"

I've never lied to my wife about things like that. Might account for why I've been married more than once.

I don't have to ask for no stinkin' permission!
If I want something, I just get it!
Ain't no woman on Gods green earth gonna tell me what I can spend my money on!

Sorry...Ex-wife flash backs!

As long as the kids are fed, the mortgage is paid, the bills are not late and the hookers are paid, it's all gravy...spend it!

She likes the truck so much she encourages most of it.

Ken, in all honesty....this was not intended for you you have it WAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY to easy

I'm a lucky guy.

"Dennis, how much did you pay for that?"

"Hi Honey."

"How much did you pay for that?"

"Damn you look sexy."

"Answer my question?"

"After 12 years, I'm still in love with you."

"Answer my question!!!"

"Let's make love."

"O.K."

Of course, you also bought her one of her own. That probably didn't hurt.
