[Question] Do you lie to your significant other about your collection (alien.top)

I’m finding it harder and harder to tell my wife that I’m buying a new watch. After about 4 watches, she can’t understand why I would buy more. I’m curious as to smartest or most interesting way that someone has used to get around this issue.

Depends on whether you consider your watches or your wife more important. If the latter (which I sincerely hope), then, no, don't lie. Communicate and find common ground. My wife is supportive of my expensive hobbies (watches, knives, etc.), but she also gives me some good pushback now again (that I need). She trusts me, but also isn't afraid to smack a bit of sense into me. We've been through more trouble than most (accidents, serious health issues, brain injuries, etc) and have stuck it out together. Maybe that's why she gives me more slack than I probably deserve :)
