Thread: hiding Game

How many of you play hiding Games with you another half?(wife ,gifriend etc,etc,)
I should start myself first.
i don't but i have couple conversation when we have disagreement. May be i am lucky i don't know.
In the other hand i learn when to stop.(not always but 80% i am successful)
It is really hard to stop to buy what you want and i have bad habit i hate to loose bid's. if i bid i wanna win.
Now come on guys let it go and see what is going on.(may be we all need to see psychic .

I was married for a dozen years way back when. At the time handguns were my crave. I would sneak another S&W into the house and be sitting in the Lazy Boy fondling it. My wife would say,"Another gun ?" No I already had this one ..... you've seen it before !

I can just see her eyes rolling in disbelief. My wife doesnt care anymore, it doesnt help to say anything.

I've got a Robert Williams & a Dan Capshaw brush that she's yet to see. I sold shaving things to finance them, but she'll not be a happy girl if she see's them at the moment!

I do have a tendency to... over-emphasize the good deals and lucky finds, and be conspicuously quiet about the "expensive, but worth it to me" items I buy.

More of a sin by omission, than an outright lie. I'm sure my wife sees right through that.

BUT, as I frequently point out to her, if I sold my razors and stones, I would make money... never mind the fact that I have no intention to do so.

Your sig line says it all. The story of my life.

My wit is falling apart
I can't shake temptations wings

I do this as well. Oddly, my wife seems to be completely supportive of this endeavor. If fact, she has expressed an interest in learning how to hone!

We live together. We work together in isolation in a small lab. I guess it won't be too much of a stretch if we end up honing together!

You see that's why whatever you collect be it razors or something else you need a lot of them that way the wife can never keep track so you can use that line over and over.

However, what's better and more honest is for the two of you to have your own discretionary fund that way you can buy whatever you want as long as it comes from that fund without having to justify anything or hide boxes when the mail shows up or sneak things into the house.

You know, I just talked about this with my wife. She totally understands my disorders, and figures that as long as I'm not totally out of control, it's important to have the occasional indulgence. Occasional being every three weeks or so... And as long as we're both employed, with decent pay, there's no reason not to. We still save more every month than I ever could have imagined...

She handles all the money anyway, so I couldn't hide my purchases if I wanted to...and I don't. Because, in the end, this IS just a hobby, while she is the reason I get up in the morning...
