Just use distraction.  All you have to do is "accidentally" buy something that she really wants.  When you have that and the guitar, you say "I was browsing on ebay and I bid really low and I got this stuff.  Of course, I can always just resell them...", but since one of the things will be something that she wants, she'll be like "No, you don't have to do that."


That's not bad! Of course I would just come out and say it. "Hey, honey, I bought a guitar." She says, "That's cool, that's what you do."
Been with her for almost 10 years, 14 guitars later, we still stand strong.

Delaying telling her IS lying to her. It really won't be THAT bad, right?  :rock-on:

Just doo eet!

-Edit- Cool guitar!

You 'TOLD' her. Way to go MAN! Was it like.. "I just bought a guitar , got a problem with that?"
Thats the way to reestablish male dominance in the social order! Congrats.

Now don't hate on me but I told her through email. 

My wife is with her father at the mayo clinic in Rochester, he is getting some tests done. Anyway she forwarded me an invite to a party one of her friends is having next Friday. The forwarded message says come for a good time the band will play till 9:00 then we can all jam so bring a guitar or whatever. my wife adds sounds like fun, we should go, you can bring your new guitar ( referring to the acoustic I got week before last) I respond with that sounds great I'll bring the guitar I bought last night.. about 1 hr later she sends me a reply new guitar, OK! call and see if you can get a sitter.  :headbang: :headbang:
 
My husband would be like "Your new WHAT?", to which I would reply "My new guitar which I am going to put on a stand in the corner next to your new Xbox," to which he would reply "Sounds good!".

Your not exactly helping my "Male Dominance" deal, ya know. :icon_biggrin:
 
Nathan, PM me. You sound like a REALLY  interesting guy. Never mind what  these gouche brutes say.
 
Well, I'm neither whooped or the pants wearer.  However, I find myself in interesting predicaments all the time.  My wife makes more money than me, doesn't bother to balance a checkbook to the last cent, we have a joint account, I have a secondary band income that is all mine, and to make things better, she can't tell a mandolin from a banjo from a LP to a bass, or tell you how many I have.  To top it all off, I get home before her everyday, so it could be delivered here.  So big purchases are made with my band account, but little things like hardware, joint account.  If and when she does inquire, "Band account Honey" or "I sold some wire last week."

As always, it's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.  But like Stubby said, "Never lie to your wife."
 
in the first 6 months of my marriage my wife had bought me two gibsons and a gibson tube amp.

in the 2nd year : oh, is that new? looks nice.

3rd year : another one?


now i have decided to hide my guitars.

HaHaHA !, that's fair.  :headbang:
 
Its better to ask for forgiveness then permission.....at least that's what I've heard.  My wife would yell first, tell me to handle the checkbook and the paying of the bills since obviously I have no concept of what we have available cash-wise, then accept it, then bring it up for the next 10 years everytime she bought something....but then again she did buy me my Clapton Strat for our anniversary so she can't be all that bad.  

I think I'll invest in better noise reduction headphones.......while playing my new guitar. :guitaristgif:
 
LOL

Whipped like the family pig...

Sorry I'm from Australia Jerry, and the hispanic culture is not so big here, but we do have a latin community in our bigger cities. From what I've observed - from the outside looking in - the men 'appear' to be wearing the pants, but the women have the kitchen carving knife! With a temper to match. :help:

While the men may tell their wives to do this and that while out in public, it often comes down to one hell of a showdown at home that usually has the sound of smashing crockery, lots of yelling from the wife, and the man often seen out alone looking quire remorseful for a good 3 months. I was also told by a Uruguayan woman I worked with, that she was proud that she could hold out on conjugal rights for 3 months  or more if her hubby angered her that much - and her husband knew that and wouldn't tempt his fate too much. :doh:
 
To be inn a relationship for 15 years, actually 20, married for 15, some respect must be leveed for the other side, My wife does not tell me what I can or cannot do. but her feeling should be considered . what if she bought a new .. designer dress every week.. what would I say.
I realizes that I have a lot of music equipment, and I also realize that bidding on something I don't want is, well stupid, so she has been great..  I don.t quite get the whole whipped thing.. but If we ever meet face to face we could talk about it, I weigh 175 and bench 305.. so I don't quite feel like a sissy.Hows about you..

I want to have fun,and I'm walking on eggshells here, but take this in a friendly spirit please;
I live in Texas, and I am licensed to carry a concealed firearm, which is 100% legal.
Now, I'm older, and  I really can't scrap like I could when i was 20, and I've also  realized one thing; When someone assaults you verbally or physically, even indirectly, it means one thing and one thing only; they want to fight.
Now, at my age, I always have two negotiaters with me; Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson. I hired them..talk to them , not to me.
