What clothing buys are you currently hiding from your other half?

[Whoamireally]

I have 2 pairs of Clarkes flatties hidden in the cupboard under the stairs. Not sure why as they were cheaop but probably because buying 2 apairs a bit extravagant

After 23 years of marriage, I don't hide stuff anymore... he kinds of expects to come home and find shopping bags shoved on on the dining room table these days.

You lush

We've been married 10 and I am stilll hiding stuff. Obviously have long way to go

sorry

Why would I hide stuff? Odd.

Do you do that 'I got them ins the sale' thing when really you didn't jajas?

I kinda hid the fact though I have gone way over budget on my new diamond ring . DH gave me some money to buy whatever I wanted and I just didn't quite have enough so I thought what the hell and just went for it. >

oooh exciting I am sure batting your eyelashes a few times will do the trick

DH asks me to hide things. He says he feels very unreasonably grumpy when he walks in from work and sees parcels/bags lined up and me excited about purchases.

Once he's showered and eaten he loves to admire any beautiful new things but when it's the first thing he sees on coming home (works long hours/often away for days) his instinct is to be peed off/bit jealous that I have been having more fun.

Poor bugger used to come in filthy, hungry and not having slept for days and I'd be prancing round in a new frock and wonder why he was grumpy..

None. Why would I?

A few sale purchases for next summer, he would have laughed at me as I was heavily pregnant when I bought them and who knows what size I'll be. I was bored at home online shopping.

I do play down the cost sometimes, but I'm not buying much at the moment as my size is in flux and I'm enjoying trying to be frugal/save.

I go for the gradual release method. So not to shock him. Can be annoying when I just want to wear my new purchases though.

I dont have to lie this way though. When he asks "is that new?" I can say "no, had it a while" - which is true when its been hanging in my wardrobe for a week or 2 first.

mum72 I like your logic.

Hide stuff I've bought with the money I've earned? Absolutely not.

I'm a fan of slow release too. Not that DH would bother but he's definitely a "capsule wardrobe" kind of guy and doesn't quite get the whole need to have several jackets, coats, boots, shoes etc etc

Although compared to MIL I'm tame, she makes me look like an absolute amateur

I'm with Mum72, I hate the doorbell ringing when he's home - he's home alot - so I just chuck it on hall floor as if its nothing important.

He's cottoned on to this though as recently made a comment to a friend that he was astonished at how many parcels we seem to be getting these days and winked at me!

neither trefusis I just like a quiet life...it's called diplomacy.

The idea of hiding your purchases from your partner (unless a suprise gift for him!) gives me the shivers, what truly weird behaviour - why do you do this?

nothing, I like to show off the new stuff asap!

don't understand why you would hide things? Why would not hiding them be the cause of an unquiet life?

I've a girlfriend who has asked me before now to have her net a porter order for the courier to collect it from me to avoid her husband seeing it......

We just do it for an easier life, guys do not generally understand the need for fashion/ style.

...Or maybe your OH's are different?

easier how though?
