I don't. But then again, she came with her own nice collection.
|
|
Does your wife ask you your permission before she makes a purchase?
|
|
My gf owns a gun shop, so if I want it at cost then yes I do ask
|
|
It's called respect. For us it has always gone both ways. 37 years and counting.

No wife/so. My dog just wiggles her tail when I bring home new stuff
|
|
There a difference in asking permission and talking about a large purchase. I'm about to throw down money for three suppressors and a thermal sight. I had the money budgeted and I informed her like an adult would.

Not specific to guns, but we're not filthy rich, so any non-monthly spending over $100 usually requires communication, goes both ways.

|
Nah.
I might let her know, but she knows I'm going to do it anyway. She's OK with it. |
|
|
I don't need to ask permission. However for something over say, $500 or so, I let her know. Usually it is funded by me working overtime to cover it.
|

We discuss any large purchase. I do not ask permission, I ask if the funds are available. She does the same. Been happily married going on 25yrs

I don't know that would be termed "asking her", but I generally let her know in advance that I'm going to be doing so. That gives her an opportunity to object, and in only one case has an objection stopped me from buying one.
In a good relationship, any major purchases should never be a surprise. |
|
|
Nope. We trust each other as being financially responsible with our purchases.

She's never said I couldn't buy a gun I wanted, actually I'm usually the one to say that I'm going to hold off and she gets mad at me. But it's just a respect thing |

Sub $500 purchase we do whatever we would like anything much more we discuss.

No, and she doesn't ask my permission to buy her stuff either. We're both pretty conservative and don't make frivolous purchases we can't afford
|
|
Don't have to ask but my wife trusts my judgement. I wouldn't buy anything we couldn't afford.
|
|
I never volunteer information. If asked directly I will answer honestly. However, we have an unspoken rule: I don't ask her about the clothes, shoes and makeup purchases she makes, and she doesn't ask me about the firearms purchases I make. Having separate bank accounts helps.
|
|
$300 and under I can get whatever. Over that I beg, I mean ask, if I can get it.......
|
|
I tell her afterwards. I have found if you buy a little bit then she gets a little angry. The trick is to buy truckloads at a time to leave her in shock and over whelmed. Nothing get said.
|
|
Yes.
It's basically a rubber stamp, but it's out of respect. She does the same for me. That being said, I'm part of the ARFcom 1% with a happy marriage, too. |
