I am a horrible person

I'm not gonna lie sometimes I buy up a knife and laugh thinking it's a bit of man bling, lmao. If you dont think that you've done the same every once in a while you're probably fronting lol.
 
No need to lie to the wife. That is not a good thing. Just don't make ridiculous promises. She might be mad if you refuse to promise but I can almost guarantee she will be more mad that you broke the promise. The knife will quickly not become the issue.
 
My wife says I buy anything we can afford whenever I want, and I say the same to her. During times when money is tight, we decide together to hold off buying anything we don't absolutely need. Unfortunately for her I often absolutely need a new knife! ;)

Lighten up Francis.

This is a lighthearted thread. No one here needs your moral judgement. You don't know the OP, or his wife, so you're in no position to judge him or predict the outcome of his marriage.

And who are you to question anyone's integrity.

Shirley don't call me Francis. It was in general knife discussion and I gave him some good advice. I did not do it to be rude or obtrusive. Small lies in a new marriage can cause mountains of issues later on. If the op didn't want personnel remarks he should have not posted such a personal post. He showed a sense of guilt by just posting what he did.

Well this has been an interesting and educational thread. I have learned that though BF is a great place to get some solid knife advice, I'd be best served to seek my "wife and life" advice elsewhere. :rolleyes: :p

Nah, you're in the right place. :D
 
I was going to get all preachy about lying to spouses but realized it all works out. You tell her you aren't buying new knives and she tells you what you want to hear whilst doing as she pleases. It's all good.
 
This was intended to be a lighthearted topic and also express my opinion on the spider monkey.

My wife is 12 years younger than me, and had always lived at home with her father. She never learned how to budget, or that credit cards are bad bad bad. I've had to teach her this, but she still has trouble seeing her paychecks as anything but spending money. I've been on my own since I was 18, and I know reality. Even though I she asked me not to buy anymore knives unless I sold some, she is always spending money on stupid crap. Her argument is that it is cheap, but when you buy so much cheap stuff it becomes the same as buying one or two nice things.

Life, and marriage even more so, is a learning experience. I didn't get m first credit card until I was 34 years old, as I didn't trust myself with one. I had extra money, despite buying a car last week, so I bought a new knife.

That sounds like my wife who has an eBay addiction I'm starting to think...She'll get 20 packages or more sometimes in a week. But the one day I get a package its always what did you get this time lol. She uses the same reasoning well the stuff I'm buying is cheap, but you just waisted $150 on another knife when you already have more than enough.

While I might've spent $150 on one item she spent that or more on a hundred different items, but that's all stuff she needed thou of course [emoji14]
 
It's much worse when your a minor living in your parents house trust me I just got a bk 15 and they were like what the crap you all ready have 10 (I actually have more but kept that to my self ) they almost made me sell it

Oh, trust me. Some women have no idea. I am one of those mystical creatures who actually own a safe and kept my knives in it. I lived in bad neighborhood and didnt trust anyone. She NEVER had the combination to that safe.

I have a safe too...not big enough to hold all my knives though. :D

I suppose I could keep some hidden from my wife, just pulling them out furtively when she's not around to do this...

I prefer having it out in the open. ;)
 
Usually if I'm with someone I really care about I will distribute the wealth evenly. If the wife or GF is happy and getting the things she wants she probably won't care what you get.

If you're buying a $150 dollar knife and then taking her for fast food and ice cream and shes content with things like that happening repeatedly then lol.

This is why in relationships I tend to have common interest with my partner. My X was a gamer, comic collector, and likes knives. I could buy her both knives videos games and comic books. We both had interests in both. She is still very lady like though so its not like she wants a knife every time over shoes, clothes or makeup. She has the appreciation for them though.
 
I think I'm going to buy a safe. Not to keep the knives and guns in, but to put the wife in while I'm messing with the knives and guns...

And there aint one thing wrong with that. As long as you are taking care of things you earned it imho. But i have the mind of a single guy.
