I use the don't ask don't tell approach. There have been spats on both sides over the years but all in all it has worked out.

I feel for you. When my daughter went to OU in 61 the credit hours were seven dollars IIRC.
Words a man should never have to say….” I need to ask my wife”.

Several years ago, another stray gun followed me home, as they often do. When I walked in the door my girlfriend launched into me with "Another gub? Why do you have to have so many?" Now, she likes guns, and has even found a few go me to buy, she was just in a mood to fight a little. I cal.ly asked her why she needed 240 pairs of shoes (actual count, we had cleaned out her closets the weekend before. She replied that they were all for different outfits and occasions. I just said "Exactly." That concluded the disagreement. I find that those little disagreements seem to be more easily resolved if a marriage license is not in the calculation - I think I'll stay single.
Been there. Done that........Got the tee shirt......Clemson and Auburn.
Threads like this make me appreciate being divorced that much more...
Never been divorced.......Coming up on 50 years....Always told her. "If you leave. I'm going with you cuz I ain't stayin here by myself."
Nice thing about being single, I just bought a beautiful old 4" M-19 .357 and a 20 gauge Beretta auto. My girlfriend was excited about it and happy for me!
I told her I really didn't need any more guns and she said "what's need got to do with it?"

I am a cowboy action shooter. In my 22nd year. One day was talking with a friend about his backup rifle. When I hung up my wife ask me if I had a back up rifle. I said no and she said that is really dumb....all the guns you have and the one you shoot every week you don't have a backup! So I called my gunsmith and the conversation went like this....exactly like this:
Me: Donnie...how much for a rifle exactly like my match gun?
Him? Why?
Me: Backup
Him: You don't need it. Everywhere you shoot half the posse has my
guns and you can borrow one to finish the match. I will have
yours fixed in 24 hours.
Me: Goodby
Him: Goodby
After I hung up the conversation sounded very familiar. After thinking
a while, it was the exact same conversation we had some years
ago....maybe twice.
Good wife and good gunsmith.

After 30 years, she has found all the tricks and I am weary of the effort.
No one here notices what guns I buy..... until the new safe shows up.
