I agree with you. I have never had to hide my purchases from DH nor has he had to hide his from me. We are one household; when I make a quilt I seek his opinion and, as much as he dislikes this kind of shopping, he'll go with me. When I finish a quilt it is one "we" have made. I am really lucky I guess. Hubby trusts me not to bankrupt the household budget on anything as I trust him to do the same. This trust didn't happen overnight... it's taken 32 years. It is time well spent.
