Wife Doesn’t Know

#21
My wife has simply given up on me :D

I cycle equipment through here so much she told me that she just don't care any more.

Truth is though that I am the only income, so as long as the bills and everything else is looked after it is totally up to me what I do. However, I have an revolving account at L and M and I have a budget set for it. I have never gone over that amount, because I know what I can and cant afford

I see it going either of two ways:
1. Just casually bring it out to practice on it at home like you had already owned it for years, if she asks, give the evasive answer
Wifey "is that a new bass?"
You "What this old thing?"

2. Do just as the Wife would do with a shoe sale:
"You would not believe how cheap this was, it was on sale !! and I just couldn't pass it by, got a real bargain !!"

So, Friday night (Saturday early hours) after a long week and a few glasses of fine Kentucky (as if there were some other kind) bourbon I decided to give in to my urges of lust.

This sexy, long, lean and aggressive black beauty of a bass begged me to give her a home so, I put in the online order and now, I anxiously await her arrival.

I come to all of you, my trustworthy and experienced brothers and sisters of the bass world for advice. :unsure:

My challenge is:
A) should I tell her about this affair before my new love arrives or wait until she’s living under the same roof?
B) when she finds out should I be under the same roof or do it from afar (text, phone, snail mail)?
C) should I just not engage the topic and just hide her and only bring her out to play when the wife is away?

Ohhhh, how do I get myself into these situations?!:banghead:

It's funny, I bought a $450 AVRI Jazz body in front of her but didn't tell her about a $40 set of pickups. Oh well, she knows about the build so spontaneous arrivals are no surprise anymore.

Option 2 is my default reply!

man... I feel sorry for you. It's just a bass and you have to ask for permission.

It's not like using your son or daughters college money or worse, selling her shoes or that jeans that makes her hiney look small.

That said, just keep it quiet. They can't tell the difference between a Hondo and a Hofner a Fender from a Fodera.

You paid for it. Right?
I think there is no need to justify to anyone, what you do with your money.
I'd just tell her like you'd tell her about other non-issues.

Just tell your wife the truth. You were in the music shop when Miss July started hitting on you and just wouldn't leave you alone. It went from a novelty to uncomfortable past embarrassing all the way to downright creepy. You picked up the nearest bass available and began playing it in an effort to ignore her, but she persisted. In a blind panic you rushed to the checkout counter, bought the bass and high tailed it outta there. "Whoo! That was close! See, honey, I couldn't wait to get home safely to you with our fidelity intact. I'm going to keep this bass as a reminder to always be vigilant against any future assaults on our sacred marriage vows." That oughtta do it. Hope you like sleeping in your car. ;)
