Yeah, I used to sneek stuff all the time. After many suck up episodes after she notices I decided to bring her to local fs with me. Once there it is me telling her that we shouldnt get this or that just yet, that we have to take it slow and buy only a few things at once, "but its sooo pretty".

She still goes on about how expensive it is. It just urks me that they think nothing of spending money on other stuff (such as sented candles at $20 each that just go up in flame) and its me that has an expensive hobby....
Love you honey

I've lost track of how many times she's asked if I'm hiding another tube of epoxy in my pocket.

That's right. And a tube of epoxy is like 8" long. Better yet.

Lies are bad for a relationship. So, we have a policy...she doesn't ask and I don't have to lie ! Works REALLY well !

I have seen the odd twinge of surprise form her that leads me to believe that she's not really up on what some of this stuff costs. When I let on that I'd spent $400 for a used light fixture (for which I don't have the tank yet), she raised an eyebrow -but she maintained the code and didn't say anything.
