Not only no, but hell no. THR does not condone bad conduct and lying to your spouse is certainly bad.

My wife used to dig throught the recycling, my wallet, the man cave etc. etc. etc...followed by hours of interrogation. Now she lives in a different house in another municipality. Just another option I thought I might toss out there.

OK, again, for the record - we have been married 40 years. We have no secrets. No ball and chain, no watching over my shoulder, no second guessing, just acceptance. We don't do much without each other - she doesn't reload but she does shoot. We even team teach Sunday School.
The box info is factual - I started cleaning up some things in the man cave and decided to collapse some boxes and everyone I picked up was from ordering something gun related. Ironic and coincidental but it struck me.
My bride just turned 58 and is one of the most beautiful Christian women you will ever meet. I rest my case. Now that she is not looking over my shoulder I can quit this post.

I'll again echo beatledog's excellent post.
Even the most trusting and loving of couples can sometimes not see eye to eye on the perceived value of a purchase. Any purchase, small or large.
Having 3 bank accounts takes away us questioning each other over the value of acceptable purchases that are really minor in cost, and focuses the attention on the larger, family unit ones. We can and do still fight over those, and that's where the fight should be. It keeps us from fighting over how I just spent $100.00 on 1,000 bullets, or she just spent $100.00 on a pair of shoes.

I am single so I have a different perspective on things however I know life is much different now than when I was a child.
When I was growing up Dad brought home the bacon and Mom cooked it.
Dad owned his own small business and did fairly well.
Mom never asked what Dad did with his money but he always gave Mom not only enough to cover all her needs but enough to even put money away and build her own nest egg.
Once every few years Dad would show up at home with a new car and Mom would look at it and say it's nice and go about her business.
My Mon enjoyed going to auctions and purchasing antiques so my Dad would go with her wherever she wanted and made sure she was happy.
They never used credit cards and only spent what they could afford to and have saved up for.
My Dad had a plaque that read
" I am the boss in this house...
and I have my wife's permission to say so"
I guess the moral of the story is whatever works for you and yours.
