<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1672552, member: 42773"]The question is WHY do you feel guilty? I'm guessing it's not because of what you spend on coins, but rather that you know your wife would disapprove, and like all good-hearted men, you care about your wife's feelings. So you (and others) hide things, and of course, secrecy will also make you feel guilty in a healthy relationship. I tried it a few times over other issues, and felt miserable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know you, or your wife, or your relationship, but judging ONLY on the information I have, if I were you I would say to my wife, "Look darling, I have a hobby I love and I'm going to spend money on it. I've worked all my life and I deserve it. Your frugality is your decision - you can't make it for me. If you don't like it, you'll just have to find a way to deal. I'm tired of being secretive, and not enjoying my recreation."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
