I cannot count the times I have lied to my wife about about the items I buy for my tank. I even went as far and said that the fish was always in my tank, or there must have been an "egg" in the tank which hatched. I do feel bad, until I look in the closet and see 20 pocket books, 100s of shoes, etc.....

I don't lie, I just don't say anything: I feel my spending is more responsible than the crap in closet anyway. My fav is the bags from the gap, old navy, Macy's ect that get "snuck" into house when I'm not looking. Wifey uses the trunk like a secret storage container. i have two boys, both dressed like fashion plates! Ridiculous

I don't lie, but I don't share much info either. The less she know, the happier she is. And when she asks uncomfortable questions, I get technical and she gets bored instantly. She loves the tank though, so I am the lucky one:)

haha, I wondered about this before.

I dont lie, my family enjoys the tank just as much and frankly it keeps us from having to get a dog bc he already has fish as pets.

I guess I could be grateful for stores like Max Reefs that sells stuff at reasonable prices and NYAquatic and Live Aquaria that guarantee without hassles.

Shes's been to every single store in NJ over the past 10 years, she has seen retail pricing.

I guess at times I choose to just buy and let them notice, no heads up.

Yes, paying with cash is the way to go...I spent $400 yesterday on sundries and I was sweating before I even walked through the door because I swore she could read my credit card receipt in my wallet. I have a wife with x-ray vision.

I use to sneak out while hubby was at work cause he never use to notice anything new in the tank. Then one day he began noticing things like a new fish. When he asked I told him he the fish had always been in the tank, and had finally decided to come out from in between the rocks.lol
The other way was: Oh that, well Lee (my bff) didn't want it anymore so she gave it to me.

Now he is retired, and goes with me EVERYWHERE so no more deviousness. With the occasional exception of sending PayPal payments, and telling him so & so is giving me "X".;)

The other day my wife asked if that was a new fish in the tank. I told her yes I can not tell a lie. Good thing was it distracted her long enough for me to sneak the naked blonde out of the house...
