My Hubby has seen my stash several times and knows I buy lots of fabrics. He never asks any questions, it makes his life much easier that way. I never say anything, don't want him to stress out over something he can't change.

No hubby here, just my kids. And they enable me. Every few months one of them comes home with a new tote to hold my new fabrics and the youngest comes home with fabric for me. The oldest buys me gift cards. And my DGD yells across the fabric store "over here grandma......I found the flower fabric. You gotta get some of this" LOL. Gotta love them.

ok. no way i'm taking sides here. just some food for thought that might or might not apply to your specific situation.

once we start thinking in terms of hiding our purchases vs. cutting back on our purchases, aren't we admitting to ourselves that we're doing something we either know is definitely not right, or that is probably wrong?

isn't it better to sit down with the financial partner for an open, honest conversation? mutual agreements and ground "rules"? compromise and adaptation might be necessary, but wouldn't that be less stressful than having to hide and worry?
