I'm not in favour of hiding things in any case- but actually what I do with my own money is none of my wife's business.
If I start dropping my 1/2 of the familial responsibilities then she has cause to complain- until that time though...

As bad as that sounds, I have to agree. I think when you are the sole bread winner, you have a slightly different outlook. My wife works, but just so she has spending money for herself - she loves to shop - I personally do not. This is how she relieves stress from me when I pay the bills - by not asking for a lot of money for shopping, trips to the salon, etc. I pay her car payment and all the bills. I never complain when she comes home with bags from the mall. So if I come home with some stupid piece of guitar gear thay may just end up collecting dust, so be it. I actually am very frugal, but when it comes to hobbies, I go overboard sometimes.
