Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints I'm in BIG Trouble!!!

You're absolutely right!!!

NO! NO! NO!

I have to respectfully disagree....
Even at the risk of forum banishment by the powers that be...


Unless you bought a $2500 custom.
Never sell your package out for a $140 Cabelas purchase.

You must regain the pants wearing ability you have lost somewhere.

Do it for humanity's sake.

If it gets ya far enough for a new rifle and scope every now and again, you're good ;]

If I were married to a woman that raised heck over me spending $140 the marriage wouldn't last long!

When you didn't think it could get any worse, someone comes up with a solution.

As for Sis being married; ask yourself this, are you lookin for love or relief?

I agree with Father Vinny, Victorias Secret is a bit over the top. Perhaps a nice, but not too extravagant box of chocolates would suffice. The VS ploy will only get you a "see all you think about is...." reaction. And why have her beat you up with something we men already know.

Hell of a deal on that bog pod. Totally worth it

How about you just buy WTF you want and if she doesn't like it she can leave?

Thats my approach as well.

She will 'let' you make the house payment.


She will 'let' you make the payment on her Soccer Mom-Mobile.


But she wont 'let' you buy a friggin Bog Pod.




Time to turn in your man card at the same place you forfeited your spine.

other things you overlooked also Ingwe, is how many women will bitch when a man spends money on himself, for something he wants, which ehe sees no reason for....... then at the same time they think it is perfectly fine for them to go out and blow money on clothes, shoes, make up/cosmetics, "things for the house"... and gthen get all bent out of shape when you have an issue with it.

liberals society has turned them into thinking this is perfectly fine.... they are protected to do whatever they please, and yet men... we're always wrong, its our fault, and if we are white then we are suppose to pay for everything on top of it.

my second marriage I have a good boundary thing going with my wife... she has her own bank account and I have mine.... I don't queston on what she spends her money on, and she doesn't question me.....

in our early marriage years, I come home and she has our king size bed, mountained in clothes she just bought because 'she was depressed' and wanted to make herself feel better.... my first wife did that, and it could cost "always my bank account, not hers" $2k or more.... when I asked Judy how much did all of that set me back, she told me about $65.... she had bought the stuff at Good Will, Salvation Army etc.... actually good stuff in great shape....

I told her she was more than free to go do that any time she felt the need..... she brings home antique furniture, and then when she gets tired of it, sells it for 3 times what she bought it for.....

its great to be in a marriage where we aren't fighting over whose spending what on what.. she's financially responsible, something my ex wife couldn't be if her life depended on it.

I learned the separate accounts thing with my 'starter' wife.

Separate accounts keep "our money" from becoming her money....


Simple as that.



Ingwewife just went and bought a truck....no problemo.

Separate Bank accounts show that a man is in control....

dual bank account shows'the little woman' is in control...

like my first wife thought... every thing she made was hers and everything I made that she could get ahold of was hers also.

actually it was my mom who demanded I share ALL of my money with my wife, because it showed I "respected women"

after two years of that I told mom to get bent.

I think of it in terms of pick your battles. If I really want it, I get it and stand my ground. It is a good filter on how I spend "my" money, and keeps me from buying stoopid chit, most of the time. I also let her buy whatever she wants, most of the time, so I have that leverage in the future. My system actually works out great. For our ten year anniversary, I got myself a Single Six, she got herself a $75 dollar pair of shoes. Plus dinner and what not but I still came out ahead.

Here's what you do next time. You wait until morning. As you both wake up you roll over, put your arms around her and whisper into her ear "sex or should I go to Cabelas and buy a bog pod?" More often than not she will say "don't forget your credit card".

I guess I'm fortunate. We've never had separate accounts and I have always taken care of the finances. My wife is pretty frugal and loves to hit the thrift stores. I haven't had to buy a new pair of jeans or new work shirts in years. She's always finding great deals on new clothes in the thrift stores.

In 26 years I can count the number of arguments we've had over finances on one hand. But then I've always made sure she didn't have to worry about having enough for the household budget and have always made sure she had as much she wanted for "stuff". She also doesn't make a fuss about my frequent gun purchases.

The last gun thing she got wound up about was 20 years ago when I bought a Ransom Rest with the windage base and several inserts for $150 at a yard sale. We were pretty tight back then for money so I could see her angst but it was too good a deal to pass up. We laugh about it now.

I really don't get this thread. I there something wrong with the Bog Pod?

The Bog Pod seems to be good. The marriage, it seems, not so much.

My wife is a patsy for anything that is available on a "special". I bring something home that most dealers discount 10% for cash and I explain that it was on special.

Just as well that way, cause victorias secret has nothing that fits me...

I've been married 13 years now and had I not taken away the bill paying duties and demanded separate accounts, we would not have made it past seven. Not that my wife spent money on foolish things. Just could not seem to pay a bill on time to save her life.

I had enough of that chitt and took it all over. The separate account thing has been a Godsend and for the most part eliminated bickering and fighting over money.
