well I am now a widow, but in my married days I never did hide things. We both knew how much was to much...

I don't understand married couples having to hide things from ea. other. My husb. used to say that I brought in as much $ as he did so I deserved what I bought. Of course I never went crazy. Anything big, we talked about it.

He always told his buddies how he sent me to town for a box of nails one time & I came home with a new car. LOL. That's true but we had talked about a certain car so I stopped to look at it on my way to town. Then I called to talk to him about it. Yes, I even remembered the nails. He teased about that for yrs.

My poor hubby could never keep up with the comings and goings in my sewing room. I am always quilting for church, or project Linus,or someone. He has given up trying, not worth the effort.

My hubby doesn't mind what I get but to be on the safe side yesterday I brought my new Janome 6600P in and then the Janome Gem gold 2 and set them on the bench and exclaimed.LOOK SHE GAVE BIRTH TO A BABY :)
Worked for me LOL

mine whent fabric shopping last night with me and he looked a bit tired after i show him everything i get and he just says thats nice and goes back to the garage to work on his tractor when i sujested i get a long arm he asked what he could get but i reminded him of the truck he just bought.

This thread got me thinking about my relatively recent trend of buying and getting it into the house undetected. I thought about my husband and his feelings. Without admitting to anything, I shared this thread. He said how it would hurt him if I thought I had to do that, that I couldn't trust him enough to be honest. Guess what. No more sneaking for me effective immediately. I just had never thought how he would feel.

no sneaking at my house i dont comment on what hubby buys and he doesnt comment on what i buy, as long as we can afford it we dont care!!

My DH and I never hide anything from each other. Neither of us would be happy if we did.

We don't comment either.. we both work hard for our money..
and don't spend frivolous.

I'm in agreement with you on this one. :thumbup: What's his is mine.......and mine is mine :XD:
