GF was there when I put the safe in, and she got the book and read the combo to me.
Don't know if she remembers it, but I key-lock the dial anyway... |

Wife has never even looked into 95% of what she has access to, but it's there if she needs it. She never remembers the gun safe combo, but she knows where to look it up. Regular safe has documents, so she does get in there frequently.
The one thing she watches like a hawk is our primary checking account, ever since we caught some dirtbag trying to cash old checks that accidentally got thrown out. I'm glad that she does, because I don't pay that much attention to it. I have known women who were suddenly widowed with no idea what their finances are, or how to find out. That's a hell of a burden piled on top of of their sudden loss. |

Of course.
But, we have been married 32 years and love one another. I can see why some guys don't want to, since the average marriage now lasts what? Three years or so? |

GF doesn't have combo to the safe. I am building her an Recon rifle, so it is in the safe.. I use the safe to store my very expensive cameras. I might have to buy her a safe, but right now she has no weapons, so she has no reason to get my combo. She just moved from NY to me..
She wants to get her CCW soon. .. I liked the idea of storing items that she wouldn't know in the safe. I have to remember that... |

She knows where to find the combination and ive instructed her on how to gain access. She has little interest and even for getting non gun related stuff she just has me do it. She could honestly not care any less. That being said, we dont do the "mine and yours" BS, she just isnt interested any more than I am in looking in her purse or make-up case.
Had I had a safe back in my "having a girlfriend" days? Fuuuuuck no. Some people give their live-in bf/gf entirley too much rope to hang them with. |

I gave my wife the combo. Keeping valuables in it is a lot more important than the unlikely event that she would raid it before divorcing me. However, should she do something that evil, she would have to be very careful on what she took; unauthorized possession of my NFA items would probably end up being a bad thing for her in the long run. |

The wife and I have been married for 19 years and all of our accounts are joint. I can see our finances, she can see our finances, I buy what I want, she buys what she wants. We respect each other enough that we don't just go and blow our life savings on stuff we haven't talked about. Anytime either of us wants to make a purchase greater than $100 we check with the other to see if it's going to be a problem. It's about respect, not control. In 19 years I've never been told, "No you can't buy that." I have been asked, "Can you wait until payday so we don't have a cash flow issue." If you've got trust issues then you should get a divorce.

I would hate the idea of some scumbag getting the drop on my wife, put a knife to her throat and say, "Give me the safe combination or I will slit your throat." My wife has been given the combo and a mnemonic to remember it. Most of the time she has to ask me for the mnemonic if she wants in because she doesn't bother to remember it. In the end, it's just stuff. You can replace stuff a lot easier than you can replace people who love you.

i gave it to her, and regretted it. we got into a fight over money, and she opened the safe, and was throwing ar-15's and shotguns across the living room, into a big pile, ( it was like she was working for the atf
 ).... complaining about how much $$ i had spent on them, how i didnt need them, how i cared more about them than her. it was very traumatic for me....... but she just did it that once though, luckily the driveway was too far away for her to throw that far.

Sure she does, we have been married for almost 11 years. If I didn't trust her with the combo, then I'd have to seriously consider why I am married to her in the first place.
That being said, I doubt she would ever get into it without telling me. Best thing is, my slow steady campiagn of making sure she knows the basic operations of basic self defense weapons (9 mm pistol, AR15) seems to be paying off. I just came home from a USPSA beginner course at my local club, told her how much fun it was and, even if she doesn't want to get into the competitive part of it, the basic safe gun handling skills it developes as well as general trigger time would be really good for her (she did not grow up around guns). She agrees and we are going to go shoot some targets this weekend (and bring along the AR at her request). She talked to a female friend of hers who also might be interested in attending the USPSA beginners class and/or match with her too. My biggest fear about traveling for work/not being here to defend my family is not the lack of tools (plenty of those, but never enough!),but the safe, basic, confident usage of said tools by people other than myself. |

Quoted: Thank you. Sure she does, we have been married for almost 11 years. If I didn't trust her with the combo, then I'd have to seriously consider why I am married to her in the first place. Honestly, anyone can fuck you over. I know a girl, a nice girl... her mom got a credit card in her name and ran up a ton of bills. She was chased around the world by collection agencies until mom got her shit together, stepped up and made things right. Loving someone, and being in a relationship with them, means taking a risk. It means trusting them. And that can be good... or it can be bad. But, if you don't do it, then you'll never have anything worth writing home about. Wanna hit a home run, you have to risk striking out.
