Wife or Scotty?

[Alex1975]

Hi all,

I have been with my wife a very long time, 20 years, since I was 17 years old. She does everything for me, treats me like her hero. We are very in love and always have been. She has also given me the most amassing little girl that ever walked the earth.

However.... Since someone posted that beautiful Scotty the other week with the leather grip and all that good stuff I am thinking I would like something like that. I have been looking all week for something a little special and I am starting to think I may pull the trigger on something unnecessarily expensive and beautiful...

The problem... My wife does the banking/finances (strange now I think about it as its what I do for a job) and sees all my transactions. It is not a transaction she would approve as she knows I already use a Scotty.

So... Its wife or Scotty. I have eaten the bacon sandwich she made me for breakfast at my desk(even though today is her birthday) and my mind is starting to think Scotty...

What do ya think? A good Scotty could last 20 years?!





Damn you whoever posted that beautiful putter!!!

I would sit her down, say after she has cooked her birthday dinner. and just give it to her straight. tell her that in the twenty years she has been your light and joy. but after twenty years the light has slightly dimmed, tell her that through this poor light something new and shiny has caught your eye.
and in these times 20 years is a long time. tell her to stop you acting on these impulses if she were to buy you with her birthday dosh a pimped up Scotty. you guarantee that the light will glow brightly for another twenty years.

Joint accounts are all well and good, but there's nothing like having your own account as well away from 'non-understanding' eyes.

Nice post, and I assume (hope) it was a little bit jokey, but talk to her about it. From what you've posted, if it's a 'no' then that's probably for the best, and you might be surprised at what she says.

Sell Scotty One before buying Scotty Two

Yep dont worry, she has her own account as well as our joint account..... There is a lesson here for me.... You know she already puts away money for our little girls wedding... she was 2 yesterday.

And yes I am joking, if I do it I will just do it and take the flack down the line.

The owner of Scotty 1 may not like that... and he is watching....

Look at a Scotty Hollywood, cracking putter and not silly expensive

I didn't mean a separate account for her!!!!!!!

 

[Alex1975]

say after she has cooked her birthday dinner.

This made me laugh out loud..... But I shall order a curry..... Actually that is a waste of money that I could be using on Scotty.

I take it the owner of Scotty one is a certain 6 foot five great big lummox?

Ouch, that's cold!! But ye it is he....


Gary, I knew what you meant. The arrangement worked great when we had no money as it meant she could stress about it, now we have a pound or two I suddenly feel like I am not very organised.....

great big lummox.... Ouch!

 

[Wayman]

Put some money away in a different account then when it comes just say you won it

You can't just go buying a large item like that without expecting flack, you've got to approach this on the down low and play the long game.

Plant the seeds that a new putter will help improve your game, have the golf on tele this weekend and mentioned that X is playing the putter you would like, leave it at that, if she questions you, change the subject and go make a cuppa or pour a glass or wine. Leave it a day or so, then practice you putting in the house, but make sure that when HID is in view you purposely miss the cup, utter just so she can hear but do not speak directly to her "I think the head is twisted" and "That's going to be expensive to fix, may have to look at new one", then if she questions you, it's "sorry love didn't know you were there, would you like a cuppa"

Bring her home some flowers, when she says "You've bought a new putter haven't you?" you can reply "not at all, I bought them for you because I love you". The plus side to this is that you may not get the putter, but you may get a little action later on, a good side affect of flowers I find

Just keep planting little seeds and let the thought mature and as sure as eggs are eggs, a time will come where she will turn to you and say

"Awww for crying out loud, will you stop bleating on about that bloody putter and just go buy it, anything for some peace and quiet"

win win

Be honest with her and just tell her that your current Scotty is getting a bit old now and looking past it's best and that you need to upgrade it to a newer model.....then tell her if she isnt happy about it that you might do the same with her :thup:

....and then run!!!!!!

 

[USER1999]

Just tell her the owner wanted yours back, and you couldn't refuse. Say you'd be lost without it, and need to buy a replacement.

That way its not your fault. It's fundy's.

I misunderstood... as it's her birthday why not buy the Scotty for her?
You can use it in the meantime until she takes up golf...

 

[DaveyG]

Haha brilliant post mate.

I would always keep the secret account topped up for days like this

PMSL, great post Alex. You know a Scotty is the wise choice, wives come and go, a scotty is for life!

There are some things that a wife can do, that a Scotty can't...
