Have u ever lied to your better half about the price of a fish?

[King of the Sea]

Yes
No
All the time
Thought about it

[Phanman]

of course, lol. I probably wouldnt have a significant other if she actually knew how everything costs. Plus i dont have to buy her some shoes or a purse if she doesnt know the actual cost.

"Yes hon, all this rock cost me $20" like really if you dont know about LR who is gonna think you spent hundreds on ROCKS? sounds insane to spend tons of cash on rocks, hehe.

Heh, I'm not married so I don't care if my BF knows how much I spend. He already thinks I'm a bit too nuts about my fish anyways

[04scoobysti]

Nope, she like the tank just as much as i do. So i just have to restrain myself most of the time from spending too much.

[Phanman]

she loves the tank too, but thinks im already crazy to spend as much as she "thinks" i spend, lol.

[christyf5]

Hmm, now that I think of it I probably don't divulge the exact amount. Mostly I just bring stuff home and he rolls his eyes. Thats not lying.. right? Right??

[Chowder]

She never asks.......

[marie]

I have no need to, we have separate credit cards

[Snappy]

I don't need to lie although she very seldom asks anyway. She would rather not know. But then again I don't ask her how much a new outfit or pair of shoes cost either.

My wife has visited enough petshops with me to know that alot of the corals & fish are expensive. She doesn't really ask anymore unless there's a fish she likes & wants me to add. Unfortunately, her choices are usually incompatible with my setups (porcupine puffer, jellyfish) or hard to keep alive for long periods of time (copperband butterfly).

Still, it's better to have her sorta interested than totally disinterested. BTW, it was her idea to get into sw tanks in the first place (I'd kept a couple of fowlrs in the 80s) after we got married.

She also knows I don't buy stuff unless its worth it (although our definition of "worth it" are different)
