Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

to answer the question, "No." Never lied about buying stereo stuff... I did figure out a way to buy stuff I wanted however... Like one time I bought her a circular saw. She said "Thank you, but I cant' use that!" Oh, I'm sorry honey... then I'll use it till you can." I replied.... that didn't go over too awful bad but getting her a tablesaw I thought was just pressing my luck too much.

Sorry , no hysterical stories ! Just one really great wife !!!

Not necessarily deceived but, did not tell her about the transaction until I sold the piece that it replaced. I am one of the lucky ones though. I have a wife that is OK with these purchases because she knows how cheap I am. Also, she doesn't go crazy with CC so we don't get in trouble... I wonder, however, about those wives who give hubby a bunch of crap about how they can't hear the difference between a boom box and his 10K gear then goes out and spend $500 on a pair of shoes because she needs (actally wants them). I am married 28 years to the same wonderful woman..

Well I feel sorry for those that must deceive. We have 3 checkbooks in our house mine, hers and the household. We share household expensises equally after that what is hers is hers and what is mine is mine. My only mistake was making the prommise that I would not buy another piece of equipment untill I was out of debt. Now if i so much as look at a piece of gear I get the look. I do tell her about all of my purchases as I feel it is only right. I added a Soundbridge and a 400GB hard drive to the system this spring with a portion of my bonus and still got in trouble. It wasn't for the purchase of the equipment or even the amount spent $400.00 total but that dam promice.

Have fun.

every now and then we have a conversation that goes something like this:

"that looks new, when did you get it???"

Oh, I got that a long time ago.

"and those look really expensive, how much did they cost you??"

Well I bought them used, and got an incredible deal. I really couldn't pass it up. They really didn't cost that much, and besides when you factor in what I sold the one's they replaced for, well it wasn't much at all.
