Earlier this weekend my Wife found out I was smoking pipe. I brought my family to my work place and my daughter opened a drawer where I kept my tobacco. Oops, now the cats out of the bag. She wasn't as upset about me smoking as me not telling her. Needless to say I was in the dog house for quite a while.. Any advice to get out of the dog house? lol even though the cats out I decided that this weekend was not a good time to have a smoke. Any who just a taking a moment to say Hi.
Oops

Yikes. When they find out things out of the blue, it bothers them a lot more than being up front about it. Usually.
Just puff your pipe, not hiding it, but away from others that don't smoke. Eventually she'll come around.

Flowers and/or a nice dinner never hurt any SWMBO. You could also explain to her that your job is stressful (who's isn't? she should understand that) and that it helps you relax and you could always play off the hobby end of it. If she opposes it on the end of your daughter/family being around it, then only smoke at work or outside at your house. There are ways around anything. Honesty and contriteness are your best bet right now, and things are certain to ease up once she comes around like Jason said.
I've never kept anything from my wife, just isn't worth the fallout. Granted my wife digs that I smoke a pipe, and supports my hobby.
I can see why it would make her more mad that you kept it from her than you're smoking, it can lead one's imagination on and she's probably wondering what else you don't tell her. Frankly she has the right at this point, so best thing you can do is just be up front about things all the time. A little dijon helps the crow go down a bit easier.

I cooked her steak and made sure to apologies many times. we seem to be good now but now she isn't all that thrilled with me smoking but has resigned to except it. so I'm just laying low for right now. Honesty is really the best policy. I get that......
My wife says it makes me look like an old man...
Ha! Mine too, but she uses the word "distinguished".
Mine gave up on trying to tell me what to do years ago. Actually, I just learned to quit paying attention when she was trying to tell me what to do. I think she still must attempt it now and then, she's always saying things like "I told you so" and "If you'd have just listened to me". I assume there must have been a conversation prior to these statements that I had blocked out with my man-powers. I don't recall to tell you the truth.
your life..your choice...I wouldnt be suprised she was THAT shocked IMO....ok..its another "stress relaxer"..as long as its in moderation I wouldnt worry about it...
I tell my wife everything. i have no secrets
if she did complain i have told her in the past , "at least i am not going to bars and hanging out" there is nothing left to say,

You should write her a love letter
