wife/girlfriend COMPLAINS when you spend money on gear

[shinobi]

as the title suggests, share your stories about your wife or gf complaining about the way you spend money on gear and are perpetually broke (or even if you are not broke, but the wife/gf still complains for the sake of it)

lets leave the parents out of this (unless they are IN-LAWS :twisted

i don't think there should be a husband/boyfriend problem because SELECTIVE gender equality will curse the male species till the end of time

told them ---- (Wife)..
It better for me to spend money on guitar and stuff rather then on other gilrs (AKA new girl friend).....

i have no gf yet ..so no comments...

 

[Hydrofly]

I made it pretty clear that my music is always number one.

 

[Freeflowclass]

haha i have no problem with my boyfriend cos he's a drummer and vocalist so no problem with gear. haha.

 

[crazyguy106]

Girlfriend's okay with it. But needs some convincing. But as usual, the argument that "you have to be as good as your gear" stands...

=P

Hopefully I am...

 

[kahuna]

so far so good hahaha

then again i have to highlight SO FAR haha

 

[j_m_s]

say "ill make it big someday and you can buy all the handbags and what not you want!"

 

[peah000]

its been good for me. UNLESS the gear im gassing for is a lil over budget.
then there she goes again. hahah.

 

[tim098]

i buy it in secret. when she interrogates me on it, i ll say its been there for years

 

[Akira-Portnoy]

hahahah tim098! thats what i did.. lol lol..

 

[RazrAsh]

which is why my girlfriend is my guitar. u buy gear, she's more than happy to play with you even more. :lol:

 

[Godspeed64]

Lol.. I'm in the same vein as tim098!

 

[empihsrow]

Heh, my girlfriend doesn't really care. I told her I wanted to save 300 bucks for gear and she's actually helping me out to save.

 

[guitarsan]

That's why there's a demand for relic instruments. How else can you pass off a $4000 Fender CS Vintage Reissue strat for a used/unwanted $400 cheapo in front of your wife/gf?

 

[wyldeboon]

I made it pretty clear that my music is always number one.

the psycho-ing her to do it takes time... lol

 

[blueprintstudios]

my wife complains cos i end up spending time (+Money) with my new recording gear. but she knows it's better than I get into cars / gambling / smoking / clubbing / spending on other women. and i give her the money I earn from sideline recording anyway or save it for travelling (she likes going other countries)

for one good example -
