My wife gives me grief at times, but nothing serious. I generally try to buy her pairs here and there to keep the peace.
She also sees a ton of pairs go out (and I make sure she sees them lol), which lessens the blow when there are a couple of boxes at the front door.
What really sucks is that we recently installed a Nest Hello doorbell cam, so sneaking them inside is no longer an option.![]()
I always just stack my purchases either in the dark corners of the closet or under my side of the bed. Then, when she is in a really good mood, I go “clean out the closet”... I’ll bring out some of the pairs that have been acquired and be like “Hey, did I ever show you this pair? How about this one?”
It is either followed up by a “those are nice” or “when did you get those?”, which I almost always reply “I’ve had them for a while. I thought I showed them to you”
“what about this pair? Have you seen these?”Ups my choice with picking up packages at the distribution center has saved my marriage. The dude who is at the center is so friendly. I didn’t buy shoes for like a month long stint, and the guy thought something tragic happened to me
