How do you ask "the boss"?

[NEWT]

If you fancy a new gun or a new bit of kit but cant find a way to justify Or just fancy something shiney, how do you ask the girlfriend/wife

Would you just go ahead and get it?

Kiss ass?

Get it and buy her something aswell (non tactical lol)

Just thought it would be a laugh reading some of your replys :D

Getting her something as well usually sweetens the deal!

I just buy it and say nothing. I have that much crap laying about the house, the wife does not notice lol

Don't tell her and have it delivered to work!
Then about three months in, leave it lying around for her to stumble across
"what this old thing? I've had this for ages!"

Re: How do you ask "the boss"?

Just buy it and when she asked ,i tell her ive bought it , and how much it cost

Like wise when the boss wants something she gets it and tells me how much it was and wether i like it or wether she looks good in it /wears it for me

You see were in a grown up relationship ,and being straight with each other is why ours has lasted

I just buy it. I get ripped a little when stuff arrives but I just remind her of the thousands of pounds worth of unused clothes and shoes she has in the wardrobe(s) - still brand new with tags...

Re: How do you ask "the boss"?

be independent and make your own choices? As long as it's you who is working and earning money, and supporting your family should be able to do what you want with your disposable income. Well that's my view anyway, i'm not married though, so I'm sure it'll be slightly different to that!

I guess I’m lucky really, my Girlfriend wants to come Airsofting with me. God she’s so much fun! :D

But I think I’d go with the look what I got you too approach. Then run off and play with your new gun!

Re: How do you ask "the boss"?

Just go into the kitchen and tell her that a parcel is coming.


Or use the rule of thirds.
(Whatever it cost, divide by three. You remember the real price, remember the rule = happy other arf)

Re: How do you ask "the boss"?

My wife's got over 20 pairs of coloured contact lenses and an Ikea wardrobe that's 1m wide, 2.3m high and 50cm deep and it's full of boots, shoes and hats!

With all that lot floating around I don't ask about buying toys, I just buy them.

Re: How do you ask "the boss"?

Normally I buy what I want and spend what I like, I have my sport she has her shoes. This all changed the other day when she saw the bill for my race pistol, apparently spending vast sums of money or airsoft or real guns is a total no no when your suppose to be saving to afford the impending baby. So the moral is, Man & Wife be open an honest and use set ground rules, add baby to this and your F&*@ŁED!
