Haha, if only it worked that way

But I figured that I'm trying to buy all the headphone related stuff I can now before I get married since after that I'll have to "consult" for big purchases like these. As of right now, its my money, but I do get guilted with these headphones all the time

Hey, people take the piss out of me all the time for buying audio gear. Just friends, family members, everybody tells me im crazy or stupid to spend so much. You can't let them get to you - you only got so many days alive, so you might as well spend them doing what you love instead of worrying about where every cent goes. If you're having money problems then headphones isn't a wise choice. But I think you are doing fine for yourself, can afford some nice things, so you should get them and not look back. After all, you could get hit by a bus and die next month, so do what you want now!

Hehe, except that you'd probably get hit by the bus before actually receiving a BHSE amp

However, she opens the door today to find a FedEx guy with two very big boxes, one with a Stax SR-007 and one with a SR-717 amp... How do I explain to her another open headphone / amp, or should I just spray paint the black SR-007 to match the HD800 and she'll never know?

1) NEVER have stuff delivered to your home. Have it sent to your work address or to a friend.

2) Tell her it was sent to the wrong INSERT YOUR NAME HERE

3) Next time, order a large vibrator/dildo to be shipped in the same order.

4) "Hey, at least it's not **** videos!"

5) Next time, pay the FedEx guy to show up naked.

6) Hide all your other gear and tell her you swapped.

7) Tell her to deal with it, who wears the pants in your house anyway?

8) Tell her that it means nothing to you, it's HER that you really love.

9) Buy her a hamster.

10) Promise her that you will seek help for sex addiction.

tell her you'll buy anything you damn well like, then book a hotel room for a day or two so you still have somewhere to sleep

 

[Gubretti]

You should of came up with a lie, like "I'm doing a review and someone was nice enough to let me borrow it" and then after a couple of weeks you can follow up with "I liked them so much I traded an old pair of headphones for it, so it only costed shipping!"

Or you could just be honest and try having a good relationship instead of one crammed with lies that will come crashing down later.

As long as you are spending within your means and have a hobby that you enjoy, it shouldn't be a problem. If you're spending beyond your means and eating into honeymoon or wedding funds (or whatever), she has every right to be upset.

With the way you guys are talking, it's no wonder that money issues decimate so many marriages.

As a side note, my wife rolls her eyes about how many headphones I have, but she knows I'm financially responsible, so it's okay.

 

[Racer24]

Stick to the classics: "I'm just holding them for a friend...who's significant other isn't nearly as beautiful or understanding as you.."

 

[AmanGeorge]

Spend less than half as much as you usually would on your three next gift-giving occasions so that she knows you can be financially responsible and make sacrifices.
