Coins And The Significant Other....

Yep, I bought the doghouse again apparently. Like it has been awhile since I have been grilled about a coin purchase, the last serious time was when I bought the 1799 $1, B-10, BB-163, a Rarity 2 die marriage, which for only a few months was the most expensive coin purchase, and that was back in 2006. I had decent purchases all last year, Stacks, B&M, Heritage etc. But the purchase from back in April is what got me woken up at 2am from a sound sleep in an Amsterdam hotel.
"I am not mad, but how could you spend that much money on one coin?"
"Do you love it as much as me?"
I know it is getting better for me when this comes...
"I am going on a shopping spree and spending that much"
The thing that sent this purchase over the edge, well, was that it was my first five figure purchase.
I am still in the doghouse until she goes shopping with my four daughters. Then maybe I can come back in the house again. Damned dog needs a bath too, he stinks.
BTW the coin was non-USA this time, all my USA stuff is sort of up for sale, not a lot of interest on my part, and my lovely wife and daughters would love the dosh for their NYC shopping junket next month.

"Do you love it as much as me?"
Why yes honey, I have spent much more than this on you.
One in the same for some.
Every serious numismatist has a separate bank account and credit card whose statements are mailed to the office, or an accomodation address.
There's nothing deceptive about it, call it survival. How do you think that I've been married for 35 years? (this Sat. BTW).

I just tell Mrs curly that I can't help it....I was beaten as a child and thrown out on the street. Then I break down crying and she tells me that it's all right.
Then I tell her that I'm going back down to the coin store.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
Thats my part of the deal.

<< <i>What my wife don't know can't hurt me.
She wasn't supposed to know, but she returned to the USA and opened up MY mail.

Isn't opening another's mail, mail fraud? At least I tell that to my wife, but if she's the first to retrieve the mail, and it's an interesting return addy, that doesn't stop her.
I consider you "lucky". Your spouse doesn't complain until you lay down 5 figs on a single coin. Oh and a very nice one, I might add!
I started a Liberty Nickel collection in April and I've spend $2K on ebay the last two months and I get: "I thought you weren't going to 'get' them all at once?"
Like I said, lot's of sympathetic ears on the CU forum. We're here for ya' buddy!
