I Think This is A Trap or Setup

She is having an affair ! Wake up !

Doubt that is happening at least not at our age, and except for when we sleep we are pretty much together all the time. And if she was as long as the other guy don't mess with my coffee or guns what the heck. Hiding guns from the wife don't work, she keeps a closer track of what and when comes and goes than I do. I learned back in 1969 from my father-in-law that no matter who is right in an argument she is gonna win regardless it's just a fact of life.
 
It sounds like a fun game.I say take the rifle and see where it goes from there.That is,if you trust her,and love her.If not,I would buy it myself. Lightman
 
Since it might be a trap, I say raise the stakes! :) Tell her that since she was offering, you would like the rifle plus a really nice (insert favorite gun here, 1911, shotgun, etc..)

You never know.....
 
I knew SOMEONE had to bring it up!! Women..."generally"...are not that nice! The first thing I thought of when I read the post is..."What did she do?"

I've heard of a few stories about a woman doing something very nice and generous towards the husband..but it's rare...and suspicious.
 
Exact opposite for me...My wife just got the Kitchenaid professional mixer she's been lusting for. There's a Glock 36 coming my way!

Getting right down to brass tacks I would do anything in the world for this woman. First she puts up with me. That in itself is a heck of a task. Just thought it was fishy that out of the blue she offered to buy a rifle for me since it was just a couple weeks ago I walked in the door with a new rifle, and her comment about I need a bigger gun cabinet.

Sounds to me like she has been planning this for awhile, since she mentioned you NEED a bigger gun cabinet.

My opinion, JUMP on the offer.
 
This is where I am lucky. My wife would have bought me the rifle and got one for her self. In fact she probably only bought me one to stop me moaning about her buying yet another one.
 
Per Bobson-Well, let's look at it logically. There are three possibilities, and a smattering of other, very unlikely possibilities (or if you prefer, two likely possibilities, and just move #3 down to the very unlikely list). You know your wife better than any of us.

1) She's just being generous, recognizing that you want the rifle.
2) She wants something in return; a material item, perhaps? (minivan, house add-on, etc)
3) It's a guilt-gift; she did something wrong (or plans to) and wants to buy you the rifle to help make things right, whether you find out what she did or not.

Unfortunately in my case it ended up being No. 3. Should have went for the Browning Citori instead of the Ruger Red Label, in retrospect.
 
Ask yourself, What would Al Bundy do? Then again probably not good advice. Take the bait and buy her something nice. But wha do I know I've only been married a year. Good luck!
 
So your wife offers to buy you something and you think she wants something else in return. You get a gun and she gets a ________. If you said you didn't want the gun, would she give up on her _________? Most likely not, so if you've got the money for what both of you wants, go for it and have a good time. And buy a bigger gun cabinet.
 
And maybe it's just getting close to Christmas.

Take her out for a nice dinner.

I hope you know her better than any of us. ;)
