My Wife Caught Me

[teletina]

Having to much guitars, my wife can't even notice a new one !
The older guitars are at my mistress !

 

[carpenter]

I have found new amps are harder to sneak in the house.

 

[Rockinvet]

You're a grown man.Jesus.

It was kinda tongue in cheek. I guess I messed up the punch line!

 

[Rockinvet]

First thing I thought of.

That’s a classic!

When I buy stuff, Mrs. Roadie rolls her eyes and simply says “whatever”. I am blessed.

I am blessed also. We have separate accounts. Her money is hers and mine is mine. Best marriage recipe!

Amen brother! My ex-wife insisted on separate accounts when we first married and she was making much more than me. 10 years later when I was making about twice as much as her, she wanted to change the arrangement, but thank God, more dumb luck than wisdom, I said, no, you insisted so we'll just keep it as is. When we divorced it made things much easier. As my brother says, "It's better to be luck than good."

I am lucky in some ways as I have an apartment where I work (in another country) for 10 days, then stay 4 at home. It’s been this way for about 12 years…

I have the nicest guitar, gear and amp my wife has bought for me over the years at home… I have the ‘rest’ in my work apartment.

I happened to let slip that I had sold six of my guitars this year… which got a sideways look and laugh from the wife. She knows I have a fair bit of gear there, but doesn’t mind unless it gets really really out of hand.

She looks up my Instagram now and again and will say which ones look good, which she hasn’t seen etc!

In honesty, she doesn’t let me leave a store with having enabled a guitar purchase if there is something I like. I am super lucky.

When I do have to move everything back though…. I may have some ‘splainin’ to do for a while!!

Been married for 52 years. My Wife has an accounting degree and over those years she has finally managed to get us debt free. Nothing on the cards and the mortgage is payed off. None of it is her money or my money. We both earned it and it's all our money. At 15 guitars and 5 amps she still never says no unless it just ain't there. I'm a lucky guy.

Always buy a guitar that's the same color as your last one.
Most women can't tell the difference.
And if she asks, tell her it's the same one you already had.
Try and look hurt so she'll feel bad @ not being "sensitive" to your hobby.
And in a year, you'll have a pile of black guitars ...

A buddy of mine went to the bathroom and left his phone on the table, unlocked, with his wife sitting there, while in the middle of a text conversation with another friend about the R9 he was in the middle of buying. The fight was on when she asked "So....when were you going to tell me about this $5000 guitar you are buying?"

By the way, he is still married and has the R9

You're a grown man.Jesus.

And a good one, as far as we can tell!

 

[Kungpow!]

I was expecting much worse story...

 

[Recce]

My wife knows I won’t buy anything to hurt our finances.

 

[badscrew_projects]

Just tell her you've bought some onlyfans subscriptions. She'll understand.

 

[39martind18]

Bought another guitar? Is THAT all? I'm glad the rules won't let me tell you what my wife caught me at...

 

[BigDaddyLH]

Just tell her you've bought some onlyfans subscriptions. She'll understand.

Or say the two of you can can make some extra money ...

 

[badscrew_projects]

Or you've invested in some cool NFTs

I guess I must be fortunate in that I have never had to sneak one by the wife.
I talk to her before making any large purchases and she does the same.
