She's on to me

Ecruz, my wife and I met in kindergarten and we've been married 20 years with three great kids. I loved your post! Have fun.

That so many male audiophiles sneak around behind their wive's backs, and make jokes out of not getting caught is sad, in my opinion.

Tvad, why?

I do it all the time!!!!

As a matter of fact, I had to sneak in a $6.00 Volex power cord just last week, but got cought and now she filed for divorce!!!

lol

I must be really lucky - I just bought 4 (four!) $6 Volex power cords and my wife applauded me for not buying $200 cords.

I always show her how much I COULD be spending on gear, so my modest system seems like a bargain...

:-)

I too have to sneak around my wife to bring new things in. It's not that I'm trying to lie as much as I am trying avoide the endless hours of explanation and trying to justify to a non-music lover why I need those $1000 interconnects. The original post strikes a chord with me and I find it amusing!!

The flip side of the coin is, I'll NEVER understand why my wife spends more than $12 for a hair cut or needs more than two pair of shoes.

Don't ask don't tell. And BECAUSE of that policy, we have a good marriage. Not despite it as earlier posters suggest might be the case.

Question...Does anyone think the "sneek" purchases and post-purchase discoveries by wives has anything to do with why there are far more men in the hobby than women?

Don't forget now! You'll get tired of sleeping on the sofa really quick. :)
