If I had to hide anything I bought from DH, he'd soon be an ex-DH. Trust and respect and honesty have been the basis of our 41 year marriage. I truly feel sorry for people that have to hide something from a partner; something that brings them joy. This is not a partnership or a marriage. Sorry--this just really bothers me and gets me on my soapbox! Don't mean to offend anyone.
I'm with JanRN. This has bothered me a little since I read it yesterday. My wonderful husband and I have been married 60 years. He was 18 and I was 17). If I hid fabric from him I would wonder what he was hiding from me!!
He will sit in the car and read or nap while I am in a quilt shop........but then I do the same for him when there is a gun show he wants to go to.
