I stopped telling her how much I spent because she started b!$(#$*ng too much about it. She started getting to the point where she would look through my rc stuff and that really pissed me off. She got upset one day and hid my cars using them as leverage for an argument that quickly got very heated. I was outraged and left work, she wouldn't let me in the house so I literally knocked the door down. I grabbed all her freaking clothes from her closet, her laptop, and threw it in her trunk and took her keys away. Needless to say I had my rc stuff within an hour and since then she doesn't even go near my stuff anymore. I think women just need to be broken into the hobby.
Man, if i EVER had a fight like that with my girlfriend, i'd either walk out the door or show her the door and never talk to her again. I don't understand how people can fight like that. My fiance and I have had our differences, but in the almost 6 years together i've never even raised my voice to her. Not to say our relationship is perfect, because no relationship is, but i've NEVER had a fight like that with her nor will i ever let it get that far. As far as being lucky, i am. She understands that my hobby costs lots of money. then again, when she can easily sink into one camera twice what i have in my rc stuff, she really can't say anything
She's bought me plenty of stuff for my hobby too, including a few new cars.
