I also have trouble in this regard with my significant other, and I think she'd be fine with an addition if I told her it was a free gift from a forum friend. When I started with my case of SAD (soap acquisition disorder) she used to make fun of me, putting on a mocking "sissy" voice and saying "oooh, you got another pretty perfume soap? Do you want me to buy you a pretty makeup armoire/vanity so you can display all your perfume soaps for your friends to see?" Implying it was somehow "unmanly." I lovingly explained to her that there was nothing unmanly or "sissy" about using a razor-sharp piece of steel to scrape the thick beard off my face daily without fear of blood gushing cuts and if "perfumed" soaps made this more enjoyable and efficient, then where was the harm in having a few? :shrug: ...it didn't work. She continued making fun of it and I repeated it a couple more times without effect. Then I (as lovingly and graciously as I could muster) mentioned that the soaps I bought were still far, far outnumbered by her assortment of facial moisturizers, eye moisturizers, night moisturizers, face moisturizers, lotions, potions, and other voodoo creams (not to mention... which I didn't... makeup, jewelry, shoes, purses, etc). I got a dirty look and the cold-shoulder for a couple of days, but then that passed and it hasn't been brought up since, despite a few soaps coming in the mail since then. So, it was kind of like ripping off a band-aid... it "hurt" for a little bit, but now it's fine. Now I don't know YOUR significant other at all, so try at your own risk. :gl:
