Interesting.
Itās the most common ājokeā in these kinds of groupsāmen talking about their girlfriends/wives as though theyāre some kind of dictatorā¦ kinda sick of it tbh

My missus tries to encourage me in music and wants me to fulfill my dream of making songs and an album. She actually bought me my Digitakt from part of money she got for Christmas from her dad. She always says if she ever makes enough money sheās gonna surprise me with a Nord Lead.
I think the only thing that would piss her off is if I were to buy another Korg instrument (commented on this in another thread, she thinks they all sound like toys and are a waste of money).
Canāt really share any stories directly related to topic, Iāve never really done any sneaky purchases like that. Definitely made purchases that were not āwiseā and the money should have been used on other things, but never if it would have actually hurt us financially regarding bills/food etc.

The OP didnāt refer to women at all, only partners, which could be a man or a woman. Fairly gender neutral approach.

Iād love to be able to have a conversation where you donāt have to tippy toe around and hold your tongue.
Perhaps we change the tone of the topic to what you hate but canāt be shouted down for?
Whoās first? And bear in mind you canāt be judged or replied to!
Go!

Both genders ( in relationship or not) have habits of spending money. so please its not necessary to get into gender politics discourse. gosh

Thatās awesome, thatās how a partner should be. Wants you to be happy.
By the way Iām a woman, so not everyone is a dude on the forum, I think most just donāt feel the need to say what sex they are since this is about making music, I bet there are quite a few ladies in the forum. Iām sure not as many women as there are dudes tho.
But either way, I personally didnāt take offense to the thread, Iām sure there are a lot of āpartnersā out there that get mad over gear purchases. Iām single, but for example my mom always gets mad at my dad for his purchasesā¦fishing poles, boats, surround sound, new truck that cost triple what my moms car cost, without asking her. & my mom makes WAY more money than him. Heās always in trouble for buying ātoysā.
I learned in my 20ās that I will never be in a relationship with someone that doesnāt support me. If all bills are paid & foods on the table you should be able to buy what ever makes you happy! Especially if itās your money.

Hey 'man (see what I did with the apostrophe?) I grew up on the internet in the 90s, and played a healthy dose (addiction) of MMORPGs (EverQuest, WoW) ā¦ I know for a FACT that women do not exist on the internet. Case closed. Sorry!

haha, yeah thatās fine :o) I actually have a lot of guy friends, my best friend is a dude. Theyāre great too, never treated me like I was fragile, their thought was if I was gonna play with the boys I better keep up (like snowboarding, skating, rock climbing, ect). Itās awesome tho, pushes me to put my best into everything I do.

I had to look up MMORPGsā¦but figured it had to do with computer gamesā¦maybe thatās why you believe women donāt exist on the internet ;o)

wow this topic tho. Sets a new low for this forum imoā¦
If you feel that you have to deceive your close ones while purchasing new shiny things, you probably should stop and seek for help. Chances are that you have an addiction.

Did someone suggest deception or deceived their partner? but I guess it takes all sorts to make up a community of sortā¦honestly though us humans are capable of anything and everything.
