i find it very distressing to read of people who have to be sneaky in their own homes
I agree 100%. I don't get it - if you are married to this person and you feel the need to 'hide' your purchases, then I believe you are wrong for having bought it in the first place and chances are you cannot afford it or need it and that is why you hide it. I also do not understand throwing it back in your mates face.
Please, I am not condemning you at all, I just don't get it and cannot understand folks who do it.
What are we teaching our children and grandchildren???
I also agree but it seems that noone wants to engage with our view in this thread... :?
Are you saying you're disappointed nobody wants to argue with you? LOL*
I kind of got the impression the OP was being a little cute and tongue in cheek with the hiding of the fabric, I didn't really see it like she has some major trust issue in her marriage. Lol* I pretty much agree with your points, if she's spending their life savings on fabric in a matter of weeks and keeping it from Hubby, then they probably have some big issues to work out! Lol* But I didn't really get that from her post, I think she was just being silly and probably doesn't REALLY go to great lengths to create distrust in her relationship. I think that's why nobody's really making a big deal about rebutting your points of view...and also I think a lot of people here agree with you and that's probably why they are not arguing the points you are making! Lol*
Like I said before, I actually totally relate to the OP and I think it's kind of cute and just a silly thing we do to avoid feeling too guilty over what we purchase. I do similar things but in reality, if my Husband knew ALL of the things I purchased he really wouldn't care. I am probably not totally forthright about the amount of fabric I bring home for a combination of my own guilt and embarassment over the reality of just how much I actually buy! Lol* I might avoid a good amount of teasing from him but he's doesn't REALLY care what I buy.
