So how do you break it to your wife?

[GoldenBear]

Don't lie to the wife...that is the worst thing to do.

[Prince Tudor]

OH brother, you are in sh*t, given the pending cc statement. Just fess up about the trade and tell her you got such a great deal from Paul.....only $1000 for a Pepsi!
You had to put it on the credit card because he only accepted PAYPAL. Just say that if you needed to sell it you would make a big profit.
That way it looks like an investment of sorts.
Good luck to you.

amen brother....

No lies in my house...if I get a new watch...I get a new watch! End of story. Hey honey, you like my new watch? Oh you don't? Hmmffff.....


i don't understand why you are afraid to tell your wife about a watch purchase...its just a frickin watch...not a coming out closet confession...

Way too many threads on here about MEN being afraid to tell their wives about their watch habits...

[Cru Jones]

I see many upstanding husbands in this thread saying they'd never lie to their wives about a watch purchase.

That's good!

But, how about talking to the wife about the purchase beforehand? Or, do you only tell her after you've emptied the bank account?

Me, I discuss and discuss and discuss big purchases...It's part of the pleasure for me to analyze it 100 times before taking the plunge. Not sure why....I have problems!! LOL....

Ok you guys finally got to me, I'm going to tell her a "modified" version of the truth. You see Paul is having twins and .....

Where is JJ when I need him?

My wife noticed me wearing my Glycine combat w/vanilla band. This was earlier this evening. I played it cool. Inside my mind I went into "code Red".

She's onto me. Did I leave the computer on TRF this morning? Did she count my watches? Did the dogs talk? Does she have a nanny cam?

Oh god! I'm going to get mugged by a pregnant brunette........

I took a gulp, and calmy said "I sent it to Rolex for a valve spring check. I think it was loose"

She then said "I was wondering what you shipped at the post office. I did the bills, and saw your debit transaction"

My face was blank. I'm looking into the face of death. It's make or break time. I could drop my half eaten blueberry muffen, and run out the door.......or.....drop a few bucks for a worthy cause.....






I changed subject, and ask her if she lost a $20 in the washing machine......(of course there never was one)

She LIED, and said "YES"....

I went over to my wallet and got a $20 out and gave it to her...

I can't believe she lied to me.........

She is currently warming something up in the microwave, and wants to look for baby names..

Gotta go!

Jesus Christ Paul, when are you NOT in trouble with your wife?

good luck, and, if you don't report back to TRF in two hours with details, we'll send a search party!

[tripleC]

Lol I just buy them and tell her I'm reselling it.

i like that confidence!!! not only are you going to break the news on the second watch, you're going to get you some lovin'!! excellent! good luck with that!

just be sure to share with us only the watch-related details later, LOL.....

[Prince Tudor]

Good luck to you and please let us know how it turns out.
I myself, don't lie to my wife but it does not stop me all the time.
As stated earlier, It's better to ask for forgivness then permission.

My wife, God loves her, however she cannot tell one Rolex from another but she can count. So keep the watches hidden and only remove on at a time.

I spent ten years in law enforcement and I pulled some fast ones on her and she still does not know about them. I am talking about buying $$$ antiques that can blend in with the other antiques in the house.

Good luck and keep your head low.


BTW: I discharged my weapon, in the house when I was by my self and destroyed several dresses of my wifes. She only found out when she was looking at the belts and could not find the dresses. Also the hole in the wall was being covered up by a photo.

Her first husband LAPD discharged his weapon in the bathroom and they needed to buy a new toilet That made a bigger noise than mine going into three walls.

Hi All,

I'm thinking that Law Enforcement Officers should be a bit more careful with there firearms in the house.

"Her first husband LAPD discharged his weapon in the bathroom"
I wonder what he was doing playing with his "Weapon" in the bathroom ?

Ok Heres the update,
I'll try to make a long story short.
I broke down, I told the truth. Well ok I modified it a little bit. The part about help out Paul because he has twins on the way backfired and NOW I'm committed to saving money for Invitro fertilization (sp?)

I haven't been on the forum for a while because I've been working in the flower garden, Not my favorite activity either but. None the less a way to spend "quality time" with my dear wife.

To answer some questions about why all the fuss, Well we sorta commited to doing this Dave Ramsey plan where you pay off all debt (and don't aquire any more) and Don't use credit cards anymore.
I actually had saved up for a while & was $1000 short so I had to use paypal
In my confession I also commited to sell one of my toys (a firearm) to completely pay off the Pepsi GMT that I now am able to enjoy with a clear conscious.

Now I've learned from the good folks on this Forum there is no such thing as a "stereotypical" Rolex Owner.
Please note that with the exception of shooting a few streetlights out I'm not really a bad guy
Thanks to everyone for the advice!

[Sgt. Henry]

BTW the Etta James music Worked!

[goldenboy]

[brettpaul]

I agree with the post about being HONEST about the watch....however....there are wives....not mine mind.....okay JUST LIKE MINE....who may not understand the 'itch' to have 'another Rolex'......

Not sure how I'll play this one myself when the time comes.....the reason being you just don't find too many SS/black Daytonas in the parking lot....in a box of course...with the receipt...anymore...

Keep us posted and congrats on the new love!

[joeyk]

Amen Bro.


If I was ever married ( God Forbid ) I would set the precedent early on. My money is mine and your money is mine.

Depends on the weapon ... if she is using a baton, that's understandable .... if using a gun, then ...hmmm

[Seventh Son]

My wife saw my new Pam 305. I told her it's just a $200 watch. I bought it cos it's good value for money. She didnt suspect anything but I always keep the watch under lock and key in case she might give it away to some guest coming over to my place..
