Karma, and lying to your wife

I am very upfront with my wife. She asks sometimes, but only as a comparative reference to another knife I have or just to be nosy. We keep our finances separate, and only have one rule with money: If it costs more than $500 we need to run it by the other person just to make sure there is not something expensive coming up that we both need to contribute to. She buys clothes and shoes, I buy knives:)

I had a good laugh at your bad karma! Sorry!
On the other hand my wife has seen all my knives, typically when a package shows up I show her what's inside and tell her how much it was. She gets a kick out of them, then she makes fun of me for being "obsessed".

Same here. I don't see the point in hiding that kind of thing. In my view, there is something wrong with running around hiding and lying about what one buys. Thankfully, our bills are always paid, and the fridge is always stocked. I earn my money and I buy whatever I like. The perks of being a man. ;)
 
The consequences of $10 knives could be severe, imagine all the 'give away' or 'prying' could be done with all the $10 knives. I am have my own dose of KAS, and usually when a package shown up(which could be weekly or more), I just told my girlfriend that 'Someone must have loved me...':D
 
My fiancée knows about all the knives I get. Hard to hide them all in a small apartment. She's also learned that she gets awful upset when she asks how much they cost me, so she just stopped asking after a while. Not sure if that's good or bad yet, haha.
 
Its mutual, If I make a purchase primarily for myself, she does the same, it saves on the arguing. As long as the household budget stays in the black it works fine.
 
This cracked me up! I used to do that, not in years! Bills are paid, fridge is stocked, I earn money and buy whatever I want. Perks of being a Woman ;)

I didn't before either, but I'm relatively young w/ a new mortgage - and sometimes it gets annoying to justify a new $200+ expenditure, that shows up at the front door.. Just easier this way, for the time being..
 
I had a GF that flipped out every time I bought a knife. She had a Champagne budget & taste to match. There were luxuries and recreation that we did not see eye to eye to & she saw this hobby as selfish. I get that. My current GF does understand that these things are, or at least can be, an investment. Personally I see it that way and also as a fun & all things considered relatively inexpensive hobby as long as you don't lose the knives!! Personally I make sure all of my acquaintances know how expensive my knives are so they are less likely to "borrow" them.
 
What pathetic weenies. Hiding PO boxes, stashing knives, and having crap sent to your office. Well, we obviously know who wears the panties in your relationships. Just be honest with your wife. She has her interests and buys crap too. BTW, imagine her buying stuff and hiding it from you...
 
Lying to your wife is not a good idea. I think you got off easy by just losing a knife.
 
I agree with the above posters about being honest and straight up. G'luck with future purchases!
