I'm in luck! DH likes the carly!

^^ i so know what you mean....i had my closet open and he started counting bags, asking about boxes, etc.
i smiled like any good wife would and shut the closet!


I can relate to that!!!!! My husband doesn't give me any grief...only when he wants to buy something and I raise an eyebrow....I pay for my handbags anyway...so at least there's never an argument over that LOL!! :heart: Emmy
 
LOL....So this is what I have to look forward with married life huh? I thought once I left my Mom I would be done lying about my bags

I figure there are ways to insure that you don't have to lie to future hubby about bag purchases:
1) if you are a career woman, you can buy your own. What can he say then?
2) find a man who believes that you are a princess and should own whatever your little heart desires (my personal favorite!)
3) pick a man who has an expensive hobby. He can't complain about your habits when he has his own!

My dh is never angry with me when I purchase things but I used to hide things from him because I hate feeling like he's disappointed in me! But he's liking Coach now and as long as the bills are paid he's OK with me having a "few" bags!
 
^^ number 2 is what goes on here. He thinks i must have whatever i want....although for some reason that makes me feel bad.

99% of the time dh is with me and helps pick out my bags....this is weird, but he makes me feel like i have to buy it.
good or bad , i dunno.
maybe i just got lucky and found a good one ?

4)
Buy your husband something crazy expensive...and keep reminding him of it for years to come.

Example.
He says "Is that another new bag?"
I say "Honey - remember that Harley-Davidson down in the garage I so graciously bought for you, with my cash, because you didn't want to finance one? "

:yes:
after buying him that bike...dh NEVER questions how I spend my money.

I pulled that on my dh - we were watching the LCD TV he had to have when he was asking, "another bag?" Though I will give dh credit, he really doesn't give me too much grief. Actually, he called me once from work to ask how many I had. Suspicious, I asked why and he said he and the guys at work were talking about their wives and the shoe/bag obsessions each of them have. Thankfully, one of the guy's wives has a serious purse and shoe collection (like a closet full of each, boxed and labeled for access and she rotates them all the time). I took that opportunity to demonstrate to dh that my collection was nothing, really . . . and why I need more bags :shame: . He didn't go for the last part so much . . .

But in my defense, I am a working woman and I keep our books, so I'd never do anything to jeopardize our finances (and dh does know that).
