Fiance giving me heck for my AD

[Memphis]

She saw me tracking the Futur stand and asked what I was tracking, and I told her a stand. SHe was like yay, then asked how much it cost. That "yay" turned into " HEY!" real fast.

To my fellow AD's. What arguments do you put forth to assuage your SWMBO objections

Join the club Brother. My Wife just does not understand the need for good quality razors and accessories.

LOL

We need to come up with an objections list, like sales people have to overcome our SWMBO objections

I try and tell her it's her fault since she was the one who nagged me to start shaving again. She even bought me my first DE for my birthday.

I am very fortunate that my beautiful SWMBO enjoys me being "happy" with my hobby. Matter of fact... when I first entered the real way of shaving, she surprised me with my very first true shaving cream (TOBS Sandalwood Shaving Cream) and DE blade sampler pack. So... thankfully I do not receive any objections. She is definitely my better half.

I just point to the collection of perfumes and shoes and mumble something about how I could be spending money at strip bars..............

 

[ricardo9505]

well its a "me" thing, like she can spend $1,000 on a Louis Vuitton purse. And my face looks good. I must say I do not live with my girlfriend but she spends a lot of time here with me. My ex whom I lived with didn't mind. She was real cool about stuff like that.

 

[AceByTerror]

That's a shame. You'll miss her.

 

[Memphis]

unfortunately for me, my Fiance does not have any real expensive habits that I can throw back at her.

 

[Krona Kruiser]

Just wait until you're actually married........you'll make happy compromises and RAD shall pass. I'm in the same boat, I have extravagant tastes and my wife does not but we're at a happy medium now.

 

[Memphis]

That's a shame. You'll miss her.

That made me laugh out loud. And she came to see what I was laughing about. She wasn't laughing. LOL. She's a good sport

 

[dpmtherrien]

Just tell her that its something that you'er doing for yourself, and that its not going to cost her anything.

 

[Memphis]

We'll probably have to settle on an accepted monthly budget, then she can't say anything. BUt I think my figures will be on the higher side than hers.

save a 100 a month for shaving fun. 1200 a year on shaving fun. Seems reasonable. Mabye I should up it to 200

 

[ouch]

The typical responses fall into one of several categories:

• How many handbags and pairs of shoes do you have again?
• Get this straight- I'm the king of this castle, and you're nothing but a peasant servant. I'll get whatever I damn well please.*
• Gee, honey, all the guys will make fun of me if I don't show up with the new official B&B stand.

You should concern yourself less with the excuses and concentrate more on the time proven methods of evasion and subterfuge employed by long term members. Details may be found around the site.

SWMBO encourages me to go shoot some pool with old co-workers, but when I say what a night out will cost, she doesn't complain too much about my shaving kit. But she still rolls her eyes and says "Another package???" when the postman comes.

 

[Memphis]

"I got it used online for a fraction of the price"

 

[fezo]

Oh, I get the "another package" from my daughters!

My wife is awfully tolerant of this and other odd interests of mine, but she has been talking about our sink space which will probably hold up, say, a Megress. (To give you an idea of how she puts up with this she offered to buy a me a Megress (well, she called it "that $120 razor) for me at Christmas. I still want one but if I'd gotten it I'd never have experienced my Futur and I just love that!

Just hide the online business and beat her to the mail. If she asks where something that looks new came from say I won a nice PIF

+1 Good luck to you, my friend.

I'll be the luckiest dude around, winning a PIF every week. LOL

 

[angelo]

Buy her something related to your new passion (aka hobby). Call it "bribe money" or "loving present because I'm always thinking of you dear". Whatever works. I always get my wife a bath soap when I go shopping for shaving soaps.

PS: You didn't hear this from me...
