Why do I always feel guilty when my airguns or accessories arrive and hide them from my woman!!

[Perle]

I panicked yesterday .I was coming home with my lady when my neighbor walks by and said . “ Al , you got a big package at your door”

My Kral.!!

My girl looked at me and shook her head. “Another one ?”

I said. “ That’s right.! I am what I am !!”

She responded.” Oh and now you think you are Popeye too, great just great “


Chime in. You guys have gone though this, correct??

LOL!! The struggle is real man

not a sign of a good relationship if you have to hide your joys and toys.

as a ham radio operator (which is way more expensive than guns in my experience) i was told to get all your hobbies in order BEFORE you get married or she moves in.

 

[Richieg]

Get her involved in YOUR hobby...and then it's all good.

You need to offset every airgun purchase with at the very least a new pair of shoes, or a fine meal, or watching with her some Lifetime Network movie (staring Patty Duke) about an abusive relationship where the bad GUY get's his comeuppance - and all these moves have to be executed in advance, but leading up to your new airgun arrival lol -

Self preservation brother. Every species does it. Lol

My wife understands that it makes me happy. I typically talk up my intent months before. Laying the groundwork. I’m currently contemplating the future purchase of an Alkin HPA compressor. So? To that end, she is already aware of my intent. As long as my purchases don’t off balance our home life and economics. I can buy whatever I want within reason.

I always use a wrong name but correct address, I tell her it needed to be returned. doesn't know thing

This is why you have the packages held at the UPS store.

 

[beerthief]

never hide from the wife or girl your only asking for trouble later . 52 years of happy marriage to a very intelligent lady .

 

[shambozzie]

Tell her you love her and you really mean in this time. She will agree and all is well. I think.

 

[jps2486]

Just tell her that you could take up golf or fishing and really piss a lot of money away.

I remind MRS Singleshot that I have never placed a dollar bill in a G-string.

If I had to hide, intercept or feel guilty about what I was buying I would either be single or change my financial priorities.
Thankfully I have worked my behind off all of my life. We are comfortable financially, hide nothing from each other and respect each other’s hobbies and interests.
Mine is happy to see me doing something that excites me after years of losing interest in PB’s years ago.

Gosh'k Olive... that's me new airgun, guhguhguhguh...

I keep telling Susie that I'm upgrading. So I'll sell something I don't want after I get another. Like the Theoben I just bought. Now I'll sell something. Problem is I have over 100 and I rarely follow up with a sale. Very rarely. I really do have too many. She's cool though, she never really gets mad about it. Married 33 years!

It's cheaper ta keep 'er

My good friend Matt who's quite a bit older than me tells me to stay single or .... exactly what I quoted from your reply

A woman who truly loves you will take you as you are… finding one is the harder part… PCPs easily attainable toys by comparison… So why not a few of each.

At least the PCPs don't talk back!

I was browsing videos the other day and there was a shot of three walls covered in airguns. I thought it was a retail store tour video but it turned out to be just some dudes personal collection! My wife turned to me and said "that's you someday if you don't stop". Man I really hope she's right
