I'm sure if I went onto purseblogforum.com or wherever they congregate, I can find a thread with my wife discussing what an idiot I am for buying expensive watches, I'm sure there are some funny tales to be told here, in secrecy.

KrismanX · 12 January 2018, 03:53 AM

Hahaha thanks for this. I want to subscribe to purseblogforum.com

BNA/LION · 12 January 2018, 03:55 AM

Ha! Just go to the mall and you can see the Wives' in action. OR watch her when she comes home with new shoes and clothes she "Needs" Just like the new watch we "Need"

Tony64 · 12 January 2018, 03:57 AM

Sure, it's all fun and games until some of the more sensitive members get offended...

I'm calling IBTL.

dddrees · 12 January 2018, 04:00 AM

Sure, she’s probably doing the same when becomes to me with regards to watches, shoes, pointy things, and things that go boom.

Carrera911 · 12 January 2018, 04:08 AM

My wife can't get enough of shoes..I just don't get it.
She always has an excuse why she needs to buy this shoe or that one. And she has like 10 types of flip flops...

O'Boy! I know exactly what you mean. Same few shoe brands too and they are not cheap!

Okay by me if it makes her happy!

encarter13 · 12 January 2018, 04:24 AM

My wife is a sucker for a "sale". Mid-August in Georgia with temperatures over 100° and she will come home with ski boots because "They were on sale!" Meanwhile, I have to remind her that we only go skiing every other year!

Thatguy · 12 January 2018, 04:26 AM

I can’t. My wife doesn’t really buy anything for herself. No expensive purses and she hates shopping. This is good until I am looking for leverage to buy a new watch......

My wife's motto:

If it is on sale, it MUST be a good deal!!

tbonesteak · 12 January 2018, 04:36 AM

I'll go with something more mundane... When my wife buys stuff and it makes her happy, I'm happy with it, HOWEVER, I HATE DECORATIVE PILLOWS!!

I'd rather drop money into a garbage can and set it on fire than buy decorative pillows. What purpose do these things serve? They're uncomfortable and you just have to move them out of the way. My floor looks like Antietam (had the battle been fought with decorative pillows) around our bed when we sleep.

We were having company over during the holidays; wife says, we have to put these decorative pillows away, go into the closet and behind here, take those decorative pillows that I have in the plastic out.

Add high-end handbags into the mix as well. The rationale for their shoes has always been something along the lines of fashion and/or color coordination. The majority of men just don't comprehend the madness.

Now let's not even get started on their hair salon/spa expenditures.

The question is, are they doing all of this in regards to your sense of pride and spousal presentation or solely for their own ulterior motives?

Depending upon individual scenarios, some may be 'prospecting' for a better outside deal or simply looking ahead to the days when you won't be around any longer. Just saying.

bobernet · 12 January 2018, 04:46 AM

My wife never buys anything for herself. I have no room to complain about anything, since I’m the spender.

However, Bloomingdale’s was closing a Vegas store some years ago, and she came home with a new set of bedding and pillows. She told me what a great deal it was... store closing clearance, etc. Something like $3000 for sheets, duvet cover and some pillows. I was literally speechless.

This would be me as well. My wife rarely buys anything.

Jimbogigolo · 12 January 2018, 05:41 AM

I spend a lot, but surely my wife can outspend me. Anytime, any day.

Which is what usually happens. Debatable whether it’s sensitivity or fear though.

MILGAUSS88 · 12 January 2018, 06:29 AM

With a raise and overtime, I made 40% more this year than I did last year. I should have more money then, right.
No, my wife racked up 20% of my gross pay in debt. Don't know where, don't know when, don't know how.

Chadridv · 12 January 2018, 06:37 AM

in my house the joke is, the door bell rings, there's a pile of packages sitting outside the door and I carry them into the house mumbling "more stuff". My wife tries to justify all the crap she just bought.

Then I say, just let me know when you want me to throw this stuff away, today? 6 months? a year?

Then 6 months later when it's finally time to throw away crap that she's bought (yes I always try to donate stuff first), I say, so today is the day I can throw away this stuff?

Come to think of it, I don't think my wife thinks it's funny when I make my remarks lol

GB-man · 12 January 2018, 06:51 AM

I am in NO POSITION to criticize anyone's spending habits let alone my wife's.

She is a CPA compared to me.

I feel your pain! We are constantly changing decorative pillows based on the season, bedding change, etc.

Actually, it's very rare. That being said, my husband cannot for the life of him understand my affinity for watches. Or Hermes or Chanel bags either. I bought him a Rolex and he wears it only (to please me) on special occasions. He loves his Eco-Drives. And I can see him eye-rolling when I post on TRF.

P.S. I'm not a fan "decorative" pillows.

bobernet · 12 January 2018, 07:41 AM

LOL, I can relate to this. Takes 20 minutes every night just to get into bed. Have to remove all the pillows and throw blankets. Sometimes in the morning I am in a hurry and do not get all the stuff back into its proper place. She will come in and sigh and fix it. No one will see it. Only if someone breaks in the house while we are at work. Do you think a burglar cares about our pillow arrangements......

rfatm3f · 12 January 2018, 07:59 AM

I’m the one who wants Hermès throws and pillows. My wife is happy with langes, day dates, and birkins.

JasoninDenver · 12 January 2018, 08:09 AM

Well, I actually like the fact that my wife appreciates quality in her shoes and bags (which are her two attractions). She earns her own and can buy whatever she wants as far as I am concerned.

During a recent NYC trip, I saw her agonizing over a new LV purchase and actually had to tell her it was more than fine that she buy it for herself. The bonus for me - a couple new pair of Crockett and Jones shoes just down the street!

Mine too.

But Bloomingdales. Every text alert they send is reason enough for her to find something she needs.

blufinz52 · 12 January 2018, 08:46 AM

When my credit card was stolen I didn't report it. The thief was spending less than my wife did.
