Just to be clear
I do not lie to my wife about buying watches or spend money beyond our budget. I am simply tired of getting comments like: “Why would you buy another watch when you have so many” followed by an eye-roll. I was wondering how people justify collecting watches to their significant other.
It was my fault for being unclear, but please, please stop responding by telling me not to lie to my wife or that we’re getting divorced. Just FYI we’ve been happily married for 7 years with two beautiful daughters. We’re good

It’s all from my “fun money”. However, I’m always hesitant to tell her I’m using it to buy a new watch. It’s not that she’ll stop me from spending my “fun money” on whatever I want, I’m just tired of all the comments about it.

Yes. Exactly. I’m not lying to my wife nor am I spending money out of budget. (Despite what 95% of the comments are about. Haha) It’s more-so my reasoning or just convincing here it’s actually a fun hobby to have.

Yes, you’re right, I should’ve changed my wording but too late now I guess.

I can’t find how to change text of the post either. I’ve changed it before. But when I check here, there’s no option for me to do anything.

Love it. This is the kind of responses I was looking for.

I could’ve worded the title of my post a lot better. What I was trying to ask is what are the best/interesting/smartest ways you’ve used to justify buying watches to your significant other. I don’t want to lie and I don’t plan to lie to my wife … basically, how do I do this without lying. (I’m still new to using Reddit - is it not possible to edit the title of my original post?)
