    no threats, wife just makes fun of me. she calls my EDC my OCD.

    "oh, you gathering up your OCD i mean EDC for the day?"


    course, the last 400ish dollars ive spent on my obession was money made from selling other stuff of mine, and even getting rid of things that were taking up space in the garage, so she really cant complain

    You just need to remember to pick your battles. Lose the skirmishes but win the war or at least tie! ;)

    the overall battle is pretty easy with my wife. cook her breakfast, and clean house, and she pretty much forgets about anything else I've done wrong. If i squeeze a back massage in at some point, shes basically putty. ;)

    i was very lucky to find an SO thats easy to please

    I figured I'd keep her a while. She's a great mom to Baby Q. I'm not sure if I could find another lady that could handle the wee one. :)

    ah yes, i do!

    before i saw this thread, i was thinking about my co worker ( i just walked into work a bit ago) who cant keep his wife happy. nothing he does is right, ANYTHING he purchases is a war, no matter how small. everything he says is wrong. got me thinking how lucky i am. Cook breakfast, take out the trash, and do some laundry is all i need to do to keep her happy with me? man, thats easy work.

    My wife doesn't have a say, as long as my interests don't prevent food from being on the table and the mortgage being paid while she doesn't have to work then I buy what I like or can afford. I don't question what she spends her money on and really big spends like cars or holidays we discuss together.

    im guessing you are the breadmaker?

    EDIT: oh derp, missed the part about her not working

    i keep telling my wife that after a year or two i want her to stop working.......she thinks its nice of me, she dosnt realize my evil plans though lol. right now we are almost making exactly the same, so all purchases beyond groceries and gas are discussed at least to some small level

    Every one that knows me or my brothers, thinks that our wives are saints for putting up with us. In my case they would be semi right.

    I quit my job to move to a new city that my wife's job moved her to. Now my job is stay at home dad, because apparently retail management only counts as experience towards the company you were one at. My wife doesn't give me much room to play when it comes to new gadgets. :(

    Wife has more knives than I do. Hers are shelf queens where mine are users though, not to mention all the other collections we both have. I deny her very little so she lets me get away with quite a lot in return. As long as we both stay within budget constraints, it's all good.
