    Default I'm in Trouble

    So the conversation went like this:

    Sunday
    Her: "How much was that gun?" (new XD)
    Me: "$500"

    Her: walking around the house for 2 days pissed off....

    Tuesday, email from Discover about a "larger than usual charge on the card" or something like that
    Her text: "How does $500 = $680???"
    My text (clarifying): "Technically, you asked how much I paid for the gun, not how much I spent at the store"
    (crickets)

    Like I'm not going to buy ammo too... But now I'm in trouble (again... even worse than when I came home with 2 M44's).
    On the plus side, that XD is sweet...

    Ha, easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission
    But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

    Man, rookie mistake. Never pay with a card your wife is going to see. Now it is going to cost you double. She is gonna want a bunch of clothes or a new car.

    Don't usually use the Discover for things like this and I had no idea that there was a limit that they'd contact you about if you crossed it.
    Tricky...

    Just talk about it for six months to soften her up. Eventually she will tell you to just buy it and shut up. My modus operandi.
