heres the scoop.wife went out of town sat. a.m.-i drank several beers during the college games.went to my gunshop and purchased not one but two guns,a glock21 new,a bushy m4a3,new.she will be home in an hour and i put 1600+ on the card.how do i break it to her.here is what i am thinking."honey on saturday after you left,i fucked up.got pissed off at the game,drank to much beer and went to Jackson and made a bad mistake"==at this point she is thinking i popped a barhoe,right?then i proceed with the,(much more acceptable) truth.explain the potential rioting due to the libs loss etc.....any better ideas.need help ASAP.

|
Give er some cash to go shopping for herself. Then break the news
|
|
i think she'd be relieved to hear that you didn't bang a barhoe, but instead...bought...$1600 worth of guns?
n/m my woman would tan my hide, too! better buy HER something worth that much dinero! |
|
Put them in the back of the safe and shut your piehole. Then take her shopping just because.....some flowers...dinner, etc. And if she asks why, tell her you felt she deserved something special. And then mention you made a large purchase out of emotional need. Kinda like when she comes home with a new purse and two outfits when stressed out. Enjoy fondling your new gun, since she won't be fondling yours for a while. |

|
Hide the bill. Pay it off with a loan from your parents. Make payments to them. Leave card home when drinking.
Why does this sound soooo familiar. How does that saying go? It's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission. |
|
Don't admit at any time you were drunk at time of purchase of a firearm at any time.
|
|
A real man wouldn't have to "break anything to her".
Try this: "I bought these guns, and there's really nothing more to discuss." |
|
QUICK SHIP THEM TO ME!!MY ADRESS IS.......you will have nothing to worry about.Dont worry I'll ship the 1600$ in a month or so.
|
|
Get two bricks and then pull down your pants. Place your nuts on one brick and smash the other brick on your nuts. It will be quicker, but no less painful. Might as well get it overwith.
ETA: This is where waiting periods can be a good thing. |
|
2 outfits and a purse,$150-dinner and flowers,$125-the wife filing for divorce due to a $1600 impulse buy-incalculable-good advice though,keep em coming.she is half italian and can get mean,which reminds me,i better make the weaponry inaccessible.
|
|
When she gets home have a gift wrapped Glock box hiding somewhere to present to her.
Honey, I was thinking about you being out there without me to protect you and I got you this. I just have a hard time thinking about what might happen to the woman I love without me there, so this is for you. |
|
As soon as she gets home, tell her "look what I got!"
Then enjoy the smile on her face. |
|
|
|
|
You are FUCKED!
i did the same thing recently. She made me sell them. Just as my buddy is about to come over with the money, she relents. YOU WILL NEVER STOP HEARING ABOUT IT. |
|
take her shopping, then tell her about ONE of them
save the other for later |
|
Insert the "After this, she'll pretty much have to" diamond ring picture here.
|
|
thats fuckin hilarious.i just wish we were discussing testicles other than my own.

If you have to buy your wife something to make up for you over spending, your relationship is shot anyway.
Wait for the right time, and tell her. As long as it is fairly soon, she won't hate you for trying to hide it. I've done more stupid things than that, sometimes saying "I'm sorry" goes a long way. Especially if you mean it. |
|
Say you bought the guns in an attempt the fill the void in your life she left behind on her trip. Then explain how that proves nothing can take her place but you still need to keep the guns just to be safe...or something
|
|
Sounds to me NOT ONLY did you purchase while drunk, you drove while drunk.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe she'll just get pissed and say...YOU DID WHAT? What the hell were you thinking!
You Bought a Glock! |
|
|
|
|
OK. Return one, if unfired. |

Oh Yeah!!!!! Dead man doesn't begin to cover it. Your on the shit list forever. You'll never hear the
end of it either. Depending where you at in your marriage you might get away with a big rock. Oh look, honey, see what I got you for our 7th anniversary, surviving that ofensive odor I was emitting yesterday, because I'm a man and love my woman. Just wanted to do something nice for you might even work. Two guns is gonna cost at least a Carat. In my house anyway. I'm still trying to figure out how to out the a gun I bought about 4 guns ago. Not to mention the other 4. What am I gonna do when I have to buy a new safe?! Tell us what works for you. Or doesn't even. Pics...Pics of the bat!. |
|
"Honey, I love you and I want you to be safe. I bought you a handgun so that you can be safe when you're traveling."

DUE = driving under emboldenment |

If she is pro gun, this is a stroke of genius. Then tell her youa re gonna pay for her CCW training. |
|
|
That's probably the only one that even has a chance of avoiding captainpooby's ball-scrunching. Spin some yarn that somehwo CONNECTS your irrespsonsible behavior to her abscence, and try to maek it about her, or how much you missed her, or how much you need her. Good luck with that. |
|
|
Screw it, it looks like Tupperware, anyway. She'll be thrilled. Doc @ M&A Parts |
|

|
Then you are screwed. Send me the new guns after she kills you. |
|||
|
i think i am screwed.not trying to make my original question unanswerable,but here is a complicating twist.she is wanting to build a new house,all in the saving mode.i will just throw myself at her mercy.i CANNOT let that bill come without her knowing first.i will tell her my original plan,then promise to take a few more hours at work for the next month or so,maybe that will work.oh yeah,i will also blame the bad influence of you diseased bastards.

|
Go buy The Total Money Makeover book by Dave Ramsey and tell her you are now a changed man and that will never happen again..........or as far as she knows. |
|
|
What the hell is wrong with you? You're the man. Tell her you bought them and if she doesn't like it...well...too bad, get over it.
Then run like hell The last time I did something like that (got a safe, 2 handguns and a shotgun) all she said was"Well, we know where all the money from your side jobs is going." |
|
When i said get both i was just kidding, and he was at my house just before his purchase and he was not drunk!
|
|
Take you balls out of the freezer and put them in your pocket. That is about close enough to where they should be. Tell here what you did and tell her to figure out a way to deal with it.
Send ME the guns before she kills you. |
|
what about this guys?just tell her i fucked up saturday,i love her and am at her mercy,then...just show her this thread.sheesh,i gettin a beer.
