When it reaches the newspaper on what his wife is going to do to him..women everywhere will rise up...

He's practically a Dead man.............. TICK , TOCK ,TICK ,TOCK,

Tell her the truth and be really nice about it, and if she still flips out, you can always get rid of the wife.

 

[GRAY GHOST]

hi mirco, my wife woulda flipped! we usually plan such purchases together so as not to strain the budget, which usually means she gets something comparable in price. it's a question of morals, i guess. but i understand you wanting both machines. i'm not in your financial shoes or married to your wife, but i would tell her. hh,

Couldn't have said it any better. YOU OWE HER. Now figure out what she would really want, and find a way to get it for her!!! After all, why should one half get all the toys??? Good luck.

I guess next time you ask.... It is much better when the wife ask you when are you going to buy the detector.

Find a nice diamond ring and give it to her and when she asks how, where, etc... say you found it with a metal detector that you picked up.

 

[Mirco]

I extremely appreciate the sympathy and hearty interested participation by all of you that I did not expect when I asked my question. Yes you are all right I know I must confess or sooner or later she finds out herself. I know that she will find out. Sometimes when she looks right in my eyes for two-three seconds longer than usual without blinking I got a strange feeling that she ALREADY knows. And yes more and more I really think myself that I must go straight to her and tell her everything.

I agree with "treasurefiend" but you are married so here is my solution, take some water based paint, paint them to look like excersise equipment, nobody ever pays any attention to excersise equipment, she will never know when you move them.

[size=medium]You don't have to tell her anything. Be a man and stand up for yourself. Marriages and partnerships may be 50/50 but each person is still an individual and entitled to purchase what they want as long as they don't use the others money to do so. She's not your mother and you don't need her permission. I'm sure she buys things without asking you and you don't go bananas about it. Enjoy those machines and have fun finding treasure.[/size]

You took the words right out of my mouth.. or is it hands?

Unless you're not missing your rent, mortgage payment, or taking food out of your kid's mouths then it's your cash and you can do with it what you like.

 

[prodrigsr]

No wonder marriages are in the dumpster. Women like men to be men. Just tell her you bought them because you wanted to and don't lower your sight, look her right in the eyes.

 

[silvernail]

Well, I agree with Mat in Ma but I was never successfully domesticated and thus am no longer married. Assuming I was guilty of screwing up the bank account ... and not just of Breathing Without Permission, I would keep the MXT, dump the other one and consider it not worth discussing. She is going to want a house full of new furniture to 'get even' whether you tremble openly or not.

 

[John(Tx)]

Put your head between your legs and kiss it goodbye......ha ha No really, I've never had that problem, been married for 40 years and buy whatever I want....HH and good luck, do keep the MXT, it's a very good machine.....

 

[zeekeys]

Mirco thank you for a very informative post. You can tell by the replies: who has never been married, who has been married, who is still married, and who has been married for a long time.
I think it is time for you guys to become friends, partners, companions and most of all a unit or a oneness. Good luck...Z

Does the Name Lorena Bobett ring a bell for you. Hide the knives before you go to bed at night
or you'll be out in the pasture with the other Geldings.

 

[zeekeys]

Oh, by the way I am dealing on two new detectors now and my stomach is in knots. Wife says I should only deal on the one, it is easier on me. Both came up out of the blue so trying to snag both. And I am paying for it in more ways than one....Jer
