“you mean you’re waiting for two logo patches in the mail.”
“what, i only ordered one.”
“you should have ordered two.”
“they’re sold out now!”
“you should have asked.”
“maybe i should have asked.”
“i will have a proton pack with pink lights. o-kaaaayyyyyy”
She already knows I am rock star from Mars with Adonis dna and tiger blood.
So hookers and cocaine are par for the course.
I’m lucky my wife and I have been together for 15 years (married 10), She has always known I was a geek. She’s known since we dated that someday I would build one. When I told her last year that I was finally gonna build one she said go for it. She didn’t want one and really had no interest. Then I started telling her about the fund raising and the other stuff people do. Well now it’s gotten to the point that she wants a pack and uniform too. She’s even started to quote the films.
Correct answer.
This is good advice
I’ve known my wife for over 25 years and we’ve been married for almost 14 years. In that time I’ve learned that women want financial security and relational security. If you are dropping cash on your hobby and bills are suffering and you have no savings then you are going to have issues. If you are attending events every weekend and have no time for her (and later the kids) you are going to have issues. My wife knows what I spend on this hobby and has no problem with it because I’ve attended to these other areas of life and I don’t try to hide anything from her. True, she thinks I’m a geek but then again she’s known that since day one.
as long as the plumbling is done right, she won’t go anywhere :mrgreen:
You’re such a gentleman.
=D
I’ve told her I built the stuff. She has no idea how expensive the gear is. Told her I did it little by little at my parents house. Hell, I bought everything with the exception of the CU in the basement that’s getting built right now…
I am not married but have a GF of 7 years.
I tell her: “I don’t tell you what to spend your money on, you don’t tell me what to spend my money on. So long as the bills are paid what does it matter!”
She agrees! 
Andy: What if she laughs at me?
Cal: So you punch her in the f*$&ing head!
Andy: I don’t want to punch her, she’s sweet.
Cal: No, I mean you punch her in the head EMOTIONALLY!
Lying to your spouse is always a good practice. It helps build trust. ==6
I tell her that it was the dog that farted..
Exactly. I took sarcasm as a second language in highschool too! But the people that visit this site that sell stuff got a ton of business from me, and I got my gear. What she don’t know won’t hurt her. I don’t gamble the mortgage money, and I don’t screw other women… I just wanted a proton pack.
Wait… What’s sarcasm?
:sigh:
That is just a weird justification. Women don’t actually look at the severity of the lie, but the fact that you did lie. That’s why I said I just told the wife straight up. She’s not as into the whole thing, (Hell, she doesn’t know which movie is which. “Is the one with the marshmallow guy the one with the baby?” No. No it isn’t) but she likes the fact that I have a hobby, as nerdy as it is and is at least supportive.
yeah but she ain’t supportive of nothing. She’s supportive of me givin her money to go get her nails done and then I’m supportive of her putting those big melons in my face after my guts are full of the dinner she just cooked. No room for building ghost traps in that equation.
Another quality addition to a valid conversation. Thanks Benny, you’re all aces in my book ==6
You let your wife get all up in your guts?
Damn, dawg.
