As I've taught my sister it's always best to ask forgiveness not permission.
I never lie he's just late catching up with the developments

That's how we bought our house. Gotta love a man that works over seas

My wife is actually quite happy to see me bring in new fish tank purchases. Sure beats the hookers, drugs and booze I used to spend all my money on. So she says anyway..

My wife likes to see new fish as well, though she's not into corals as much as I am. And I've been weaning her off the hookers, drugs and booze.

Financial issues are the source of 90% of marital problems. It's not healthy to lie to a spouse about anything... just causes problems in the long run, and yes, the omission of truth is a lie if it is omitted to twist the truth.

My wife and I have our own "fun accounts" ... anything spent from this account is fine. No questions asked. The problem is that we're not in a position financially with school and work and living situations and paying off the vehicle to be regularly contributing to these accounts other than Christmas or birthday money. I had $30 left in mine, and I bought some snails that came to $35... had to use the other account. I told her about it, and she's keeping a mental IOU. But she's generally ok with me spending small amounts of money from our joint account.

That being said, my new tank is currently empty, and there's a nice clove frag for $20 at the lfs. We were in looking at it yesterday, but I didn't buy it. I am really, really tempted to go out and get it before she comes home from work.

I got to say most asian wives has this same thinking, my wife says the same.

However, i think i still spend less money than my wife spending on her shoes and purses so she has no problem me buying stuff home. Even encourage me to get my 400 gallon project going....
