Yep. I wanted a dSLR for a while. NO was the answer. Can't afford it was the reason. got her a ring (anniversary band) - guess what we could afford 2 weeks later? Yep, a dLSR.
How observant is she? My wife has not noticed the new monitor on the computer...not that it's all that different, but the name, buttons, it's now flat...
perhaps whe won't notice?

| wow, if I had a husband who went and spent a bunch of money w/o my input, and then went and blew some more money on jewelry, flowers and chocolate, I'd be even more upset... I mean, I'd love the stuff, but it would just make the money situation worse... lol... |

| The hard part isn't telling her about the money you spent it's the telling your SO what great fun she'll have carrying it. |

I think this thread is really sad. We're talking quite normally about ...
Deception
Bullying
Fear
Dishonesty
Bribery
... and there's still more ...
Whatever happened to sharing, caring, comeradeship, love and the sheer joy at seeing a partner ecstatic about something? The tone here is about a culture of fear and control where someone in a relationship is in fear of both being honest or deceptive and all the posters have accepted this as being quite normal. The reality is of course that this is quite normal in relationships today - sad.

Following up from KiwiPix, what about:
"Honey, I just got these great deal on a tripod for our foreign vacation! I know it was $199 but I just knew it would make things easier for me and didn't have a lot of time to make the decision. If it makes it tough I can always sell it on eBay when we come back."
Just let me know what the Ebay ID is when you do.... :-)

Sorry not to give you an update sooner. School, work¡KYou all know the routine
Shutter pug you had us both laughing out loud. That was great. Well as you all might have guessed I did come clean, as I knew I always would. It went fine however the jewelry item in question necessary to erase any memories of this event is yet to be decided¡Xhe he he
Sorry technostrom but there will be no ebay ID.
By the way the pod is great. I took it out on Thursday, carried it around on my fanny pack. It is light, stable and perfect. Thank goodness everything went well as I don¡¦t think I could have parted with it Æ’º.
Well I should get back to work. That¡¦s right work on a Saturday.

| Just hope she doesn't figure out "carbon fiber tripod" = "carbon jewelry" (as in diamond, ruby, etc). |

Wow, I must be extremely atypical. My husband and I discuss and negotiate all of our purchases; and he is way ahead with the boat and fishing stuff (which he swears is for me too!). But jewelry is the very last thing I'd want. I told him he doesn't get anymore toys until I get Lasik eye surgery.
Edit to add: KiwiPix, I agree with everything you said!

I can only speak with certainty for myself, but I believe that every post in this thread, from the original post right up until yours, was written in a spirit of humor/satire. IN fact, I'm so gullible I actually thought YOURS was tongue-in-cheek as well :-)
If we can't poke fun at ourselves, our relationships, and our "addictions", what hope is there for us?

Personally I like to think that a solid relationship is built with a little from list A and a lot from list B. Actually I believe everything off both lists was used when I bought that Macro for my 645. :)

Ditto. For my husband it's car stuff -- he's doing a full restoration on the 1970 Dodge Charger he's had since he was 15 -- and for me it's camera things. We talk stuff over beforehand and see if we can manage it. Of course it makes for a much less humorous discussion than all the deception does. :) |
