    What's the biggest thing you ever bought without your wifes knowledge?

    Just out of curiosity and wondering how abnormal I am, what is the most you have ever spent on an item without your wifes knowledge or permission? Myself, there have been numerous motorcycles, a 04 Nissan 350Z, and two years ago I bought a house to flip. The house was more oversight than intention in not telling the wife, but she did not speak to me for 3 days. Just sold the house, so all is good again. But I did just buy an 85 atc250r that is going to have to hide at my parents for a while.

    Last March i bought a house without her knowing. It was kinda a awkward situation.
    Wife: Why is there no money in the bank?
    Me: I bought some stuff.
    Wife: What the hell did you buy, a house?
    Me: Uh, yeah...... by the way, i got layed off today.
    Wife: WHAT!!
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    Never really bought anything without her knowing about it, but have bought a few things against her wishes.
    Probably the most expensive was my 250r, it was $2500. Recently i bought a new S@W hangun she wasnt to thrilled about, that was $780. I say its easier and more fun to ask forgiveness than for permission!

    But i will say, i have bought her some bigger items as well. Cashed in an old 401k from an old job a few years back and bought her a 4 year old MXZ 700 that was in mint shape. And this past summer i sold my farm tractor and bought her an '03 Z400 so she could keep up to my R a little better when we go riding Tug Hill. So, its not all about me lol!

    She still isn't over it either. The house has been sitting on the market for about 3 months and she makes sure to remind me weekly how big of an idiot i am.

    At least you got her to the house to work on it. My wife would hardly set foot in the place much less work on it.
