OK? Ready for a scary frickin situation!? :eek:


Yesterday the wife wants me to pull up the bank statement... the online thingy.

Man I was s**tting my pants!! I've managed to buy 7 guns this summer, when I'm supposed to be in a No-Buy-Guns-Situation. I've damn near got the purchases swept under...

So I pulled up the banking website and I'm like, trying hard to swallow...



"We owe what!?"

"What's this!?"

"Where was that money spent!?"

"Why haven't you paid this (card)!?"

"Let me see that account!!"




Blah, blah, blah...




And by the grace of the Great Hunting God, she missed the transactions that woulda sunk my boat!!

But I might be doomed anyhow. Last week Gun #7 was purchased; a CZ-97B. Seemed like a good thing until I realized after-the-fact, that since it's restricted, it has to be delivered to the door. I don't see how I'll ever be able to hide that one... I have maybe a 1 in 10 chance of getting away with it... :redface:
 
oh boy your screwed, better go buy her a nice big ring with some roses befor it arrives so shes all happy when it does. seems to work for my dad .

good luck dude
good luck.
 
yea lieing to the wife about guns is a big mistake.
I was open with my wife about each gun i wanted and even bought her one.
You'll be in a bigger hole if u don't come clean.

Forget the ring... spend the same money or less and send her for a "much deserved" spa vacation when the gun is due to arrive. Otherwise every time she looks at her new ring she'll remember she's got a reason to be pissed off at you... like Kobe Bryant's wife.:D

Good luck!

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's the wrong choice either way for them.
 
ship to work, or send a message to UPS or whoever that you will pick up the package from their store/depot instead of delivery. Either way seems like you've dug yourself a hole :(
 
Beyond a certain point, they cannot tell if you have aded to the stash. Not sure where that number was, but I am past it....

ah very smart, i'll have to remeber that if i ever need to do the same
 
One of the elder, happily married men at my club has a good system. Whatever he spends on his hobby, she can spend on her own hobby. (I suspect there is better communication regarding finances, too, than what you mentioned.)cp:
 
I heard a story about a guy who had a separate bank account that money for guns and racing motorcycles went into that was away from prying eyes. Then another separate card. For example, these were at BMO while joint accounts were at the Scotia. You need to go paperless for the statements, email only to to say "joep17@###x.com" Then ship all guns to the office. If a restricted has to go to the house, send her to the spa that day and take a vacation day to be there. Otherwise, have a gift about the same size stashed away nicely wrapped. Oops....here she comes, gotta run.
 
Out of curiosity I showed my wife your thread, sort of testing the waters so to say - just in case I ever found myself in such a situation. She point blank says "your screwed". Guess I know my boundries now. Thanks for taking one for the team!
 
Tell her how much money you have saved by shopping around and keeping you eyes on this site.It didn't work for me but it seems to make sense,and it may work for you.Women are wirred different than men and hard to fool once you create suspicion.
 
I don't really have to worry. The conversation has come up a couple times, like "wow...i wish i had 200 bucks for ###x" and i hear "well, we would have 200 bucks if you hadn't bought another gun!" Then i pull up the online bank statements, and show all the little 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 dullar purchases from the dollar store (candy and drinks on her lunch breaks) drug store (hair dye and junk) and others, and add them up to show that while i may spend 3 or 4 hundred dollars every couple months, she actually spends more by little purchases on a daily basis.

I don't think i heard her voice for a few days after i first pointed that out, but now, every tim ei start to hear about buying guns, i just say "want me to add up all the money you've spent in the last month?" Now i get the silent treatment for about 5 minutes. I've even convinced her that we need to by a handgun and a small safe for on my nightstand, and that she must learn how to shoot it (i played the improbably but possible home invasion card)
