Okay so here's the plan
Step1: tell her you are taking a long road trip
Step2: Sneak out the back door with your extra boxes that she wouldn’t approve of and your credit card bill (if it times out)
Step3: Crash at a friend’s house until you finish your extra smokes:ss
Step4: Come back home and blame the missing money on travel expenses
Step5: don’t forget to give her a nice gift
(If all else fails tell her she’s pretty):tu

Sadly, this isn't funny. She upgraded her diamond this year while I was on vacation in Alaska with my buddies. She originally said it would be $1-2k. I left, went whitewater rafting/fishing/camping/drinking for 14 days and when I came home, there was a 1.1 carat rock with a platinum setting. I had sold my Bourget a week before I left supposedly for the down payment for a house. I got more for the bike than expected and she got her $9k diamond.
So what is the issue with the cigars again?

Ok, I think I came up with the best idea. Are you ready?
Return the Cigars and ask for a credit

You deserve your cigars! Buy more. Go to the devil site right now!
Show her how many shoes she owns.
:tpd: My gf owns more pairs of shoes than I do cigars.
then again... cigars do tend to dissapear
Arson keeps making them disappear :ss Supposedly, her ring was to make up for my initial purchase of a $40k motorcycle I sold for $42k and my trips back up to Alaska. Truthfully, I don't know. Whenever she tries to justify it I get a headache and say "yeah yeah, I know".
I told her about the purchases when I called her after work and she's cool about it. I did use a few different excuses to justify them first, though :tu:r:r I'll try this when she gets home. Luckily, I have a 5 bedroom house and don't mind the downstairs bedroom
Be honest, say it's therapy and an investment. It's a collection. Back off for as long as you can stand it. My wife has gotten used to the occassional small box. Don't but many things at once. Just small pickups, maybe she won't inspect them all.
When possible, get the package put away and boxing burned before she gets home.
I do these things because I know, deep down, she trusts me. If I thought it was affecting our relationship, I'd stop in 1 second.

Well, that would probably work, but if she's like me, she'd enjoy the day at the spa and then come home and keep relaxing with a drink and start helping you smoke what you just bought. Double jeopardy! HA!
Wait a minute. You spent 40K on a motorcycle and then sold it for 42K. She bought a 9k diamond ring. And now you're in trouble for buying a few extra cigars.
My first question is, "Why do you have to explain anything to her?" I've been married for 32 years and I've never had to explain a purchase that trivial.
