I decided I'm just not going to tell my GF when I get a new knife

That's a good course of action, right? She won't even notice that it's new and if she does, then I can just fess up to it with a sheepish look and tell her it only cost $30. If I just carry on buying knives and don't talk about them, she will just hear the constant click of the open close and be too annoyed to even notice I spent more money on new knives. :)
Do you guys share your new purchase excitement with the gf?

Or...

Learn to be like me and not give a *insert whatever aggressive term you wish* what ANYONE says about what you buy with YOUR own money.
 
Haha! Unfortunately, my gf thinks its splurging when she buys a new package of socks. She's got money in the bank and I have nothing so she kind of has a one up on me. But I work so that I have money to buy stuff I want. I do buy everything I want but just have to deal with the consequences of it with taking crap over buying too many toys.
 
I saw a bunch of people talking about that and also gooey sent me a gift kershaw so I figured I could start using those lines down the road as well.:)
 
i tell the fiancé all about them. and she tilts her head at me like a dog does when u call its name. and she usually has no idea or interest in my new knives but she will listen. besides she always wants to tell me about her new items and i usually don't care too much about her new shoes or bag or w/e ha
 
What does a GF have to do with you buying knives or spending your money? I am correct in assuming it's your money, right? I could see a couple who pool all money but not a "I need permission from my GF"type thing. It makes no sense.
 
I don't need permission- I guess I'm just talking about avoiding that conversation of "why do you need so many knives?" every single time.
 
lying is not a good idea. sure it's just about knives but she'll see wonder what else you're lying about and it'll turn into a huge deal.
 
I don't think I need to break up with her just because I don't want to tell her about all the crap I buy.
 
...I dunno but I for one vote all new "what to tell the wife/gf/signifcant other threads; regarding gear purchases" Be promptly directed towards wine and cheese...
 
I tell mine and she does the same thing my mom does it's just a knife. I don't see ways so special about it
 
My wife is an absolute peach about it. She says "at least I always know what he's doing on the internet", HA.
 
I'm of the camp that honesty is the best policy if you plan on the relationship lasting in a healthy way. That said if it's your money and it's truly disposable then it doesn't matter if it's knives or watches or whatever trips your trigger. My wife and i have an agreement that our fun money can be spent in any way that isn't detrimental to the relationship, i.e. prostitutes, drugs, etc.

However you want or think this will work out.... It won't.....

Either don't give a rat's A$$, or suffer whatever may come.... You are trying to put common sense and logic to a woman...

Apologies ahead of time to those women that may be offended.....I can't help it... nor do I give a rat's A$$

Do you want to hear about her shoes, purse, new bra? I don't, and they don't want or need to hear you telling them about your new toys. Buy want you really want, not $30 here and there, and even then keep it to yourself, or talk to us about it, or your bros.
Once you are married or share bills, then I think each person should still have some of their own money to blow. But, what do I know, I'm not married.
