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??

I just tell her she doesn't want to really know. However its always her fault anyway. She buys all the livestock. I tell her "if you buy one more coral I will have to get that new skimmer or new controller or what ever hardware item I think would be fun to play with". She cant control herself so I get the new hardware.

and he know's it..... Whatever I tell him he just bumps it up by a third anyway. Still he doesn't care. He loves looking in to the tank as much as I do.

I've started telling her how much things cost instead of saying "it was only $10!". Thankfully for me she doesn't like math so she never really puts two and two together

Quite scary though when she buys about $1000 in clothing in a single month and doesn't even realize she's spent more on clothes alone than her entire month's income. Her dad still pays off her credit card bills. Age 22, and she hasn't felt "economic stress" yet.

Lately if she gives me crap for spending money on the tank, I tell her at least it's not a $180 shirt that's only been worn twice in the past year . Most of my large tank purchases will be around for at least a year, if not five.

I'm lucky. The wife doesn't mind me spending all the free money I want on tank related items including livestock. She loves the hobby as well.

I always answer truthfully when asked about the tank,I also never lie when asked "do these pants make my butt look fat",and when asked "What are you thinking" I tell them.And they say a good relationship is based on honesty.
Still single,what am I doing wrong?
