You're telling me... The new unit of measurement for what's considered expensive in our household has gone from a few hundred dollars to a Wilson 1911.

if that don't work you could always do it the old fashioned way-->
For all the single guys out there, here's one financial strategy you can use that will prevent this kind of stuff.
Me and SWMBO have always had three checking accounts, one main one where both checks get deposited. All the household expenses, bills and such get pulled out of that account. Anything unusual expenditures out of that account have to be discussed and approved before hand.
The other two accounts are "his-n-her" mad money accounts. That money can be spent no questions asked, on anything you want. Accumulate it for a few months and buy something big. No questions, fussing or anything else about purchases out of the mad money. That's where the guns come from.
So far its worked for 17 years.

What's the old saying? When I die, I hope my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.....
Sounds like nothing's changed then. She's still comparing the cost of her purchases to the cost of yours.
Actually what's changed is, you both now know how much the other is spending. Guess what, those $50 ear rings and the $100 purse? She lied to you about those costs the same way you've been misleading her on the price of the guns.
When my wife tells me I should go the gun show this weekend, it means she's spent way too much money on some stupid item that's not worth 1/10 what she paid for it.
I actually think I got off lucky though. I've asked her how many purses she needs way more times than she's asked me how many 1911's I need.

You give your girlfriend your card?
If you are obviously rolling in the dough and are supporting the household (out of wedlock), there should be no question in regards to how you spend the money you make. You ain't married yet.
I agree, run.
My thoughts on women's purses is this: Tell your lady to go out and get a real, classic, mid-size Chanel bag. It'll cost well over $1K, maybe $3K. When it comes home, look it over. You'll find workmanship as good as any custom holster but a lot more complex and using a lot more leather. It'll wear like iron and she'll still be proudly using it in 20 years. Well worth the money.
A closet full of $50-$200 purses that never get used is an irritating waste of money.
Truth!
