What did you do.....

Sounds like home. lol

<------- Washes dishes/laundry and even folds laundry on a daily basis after cooking wife's favorite dishes for retirement.

<------- Wife allows husband no questions asked gun purchases.

<------- Now, wife gets to spend double what husband spends on hobbies.

<------- Happy wife, happy life ... so far, $180,000 spent on guns/ammo/accessories and counting ... (Remember, wife now gets to spend double what husband spends, NO QUESTIONS ASKED ... Wife spent over $9,000 just on puppies/training/related expenses this year alone)

After receiving 2 retirement incomes + social security wifey still watches the budget. So, I get a part job to fund my guns and other hobbies so she doesn't give me the stink eye. Problem is, she doesn't spend a penny on herself for material stuff...ever.

Tell her we are all going to die and can't take anything with us. Yes, we are going to leave this life experience the same way we entered, with nothing.

Hence why we should "Live Life" ...

Hey now! I am still trying to find a loophole so I CAN take it with me LOL. If I ever figure it out I'll let you all know how to do it as well.

I like to start doing chores and bringing home flowers the week BEFORE the gunshow....

Viking funeral............

Bunch of softies we got around here...geez.

I'm firmly in the "beg forgiveness" camp, so to speak. Much like in the OP, except I don't volunteer to do anything.

She'll name off half a dozen things I should do to even things out, I promise to do at least half, figuring I'll eventually do one or 2 of them.

Pretty sure I've checked at least 5 off her list in the dozen years we've been together.

I spent 32 years sharing all the workload with my wife and the last 4 years doing everything including what honey-does she wanted that I could get done while taking care of her at the same time. I wish I could still be doing all of that.

Just like home....

Hi...
I buy what ever firearms or firearm related equipment whenever I please as my discretionary income allows.
I don't ask permission or explain anything to my wife.
She does the same with her interests. Settled that long before we got married.
It has worked just fine for over 28 years.

Around 2008 when my wife learned that I had bought a second MN 44 (Mosin-), she said "Two of them?".

I then asked her whether her 'extra' used shoes could be sold for anything.
No response.

I buy her one thats nicer than mine...then I go shoot hers...

Ginger D gave up years ago. Getting a FFL didn't hurt anything either.

We both handle our own bills. As long as they are paid, I don't comment on her purchases, and she doesn't comment on mine. She did just get an inheritance, and I've been dropping hints, but not heavily......
