Being up front about the purchases seems to get a little easier as the years go on. Income increases which helps and you learn to tolerate each other’s needs better. Having said that the fact is that as men, most of our purchases will always be seen as selfish by our wives as they are often hobby oriented and most of their purchases as virtuous as they are frequently home oriented. Admit it, when was the last time you said, hey dear, we have some extra income, lets get new drapes!
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
This could lead to a hysterical thread. How many audiophiles have come home with an expensive amp/preamp/and told their wife they bought it for practically nothing? Only to have paid 3-4K they had in their private stash? How many audiophiles have secretly installed a new "toy" in their audio system thinking their wife wouldn't notice. My old girlfriend thought anything beyond a boombox was excessive. Whenever I would upgrade my system,I would come up with some far fetched tale(lie) Would love to hear your story.......
