At home, I am the "President", I don't need approval or advise on how I spend my money from my Wife.

IMO it all goes back to how you carry yourself during your dating days, if your are always asking for permission or approval "can I do this?" or "can I buy that?" from your then girlfriend until you marry them, then you have "signed up" for this and that is how it is going to be for the rest of your life.

I learnt a long time ago from an old timer you must "condition" your partner from day one to look up to you, then you are free to buy anything and do things with minimum fuss and it is the best advice I ever had on married life.

I am not saying you have to be a MCP at home, sure you should let them know what you buy and the reasons for doing so...but it is different from asking for permission.

Example if you ask for permission, woman will automatically think you are not sure if you are doing the right thing or have doubts about the issue.

Don't ask but just inform them why you are buying the item , let them know it is something you have considered, you have made provision for it...your plan B .. exit plan if you don't want it...


Keep doing this and after a while, your wife will trust and know that you know what you are doing... and your conversations will turn to other "non money approval" issues. It should be about what you are going to buy for them instead and that is something i am always happy to discuss

In my case, I own few watches, 2 pams, omega, seiko, and tag before marriage. I guess my watches attracted her that lead to marriage.
Now, she is into watches too but only as far as Casio sheen and seiko. And she keeps telling me now and then to get my first Rolex. My reply as always... Nah...

Awesome wife! Treat her well bro!

Not sure what the fuss is about. These days relationships are more opened and as long as once in a while purchase, it's ok. Why need to ask permission, really silly

yalor! Sibei agreed wif u!!!

People who buy Rolex are followers who don't have a mind of their own.They are firm believers of Rolex's marketing hype that they can only be successful in their lives if they own Rolex watches. They feel insecure if the watches on their wrists are not Rolex watches. They will have all sorts of questions in their weak minds.

Agree with you that a nukber of people buy Rolex because of brand thinking can show off while there are so many other nicer and better watches around. Sold by marketing hype. Each time see ah bengs wear uncle Rolex makes me laugh. However not sure classifying them as being weak minded though. As long as they happy.

It's funny to see how people continuously rationalize and justify the lack of their own minds and lack of financial abilities.

My wife recently asked me if I had been spending too much on watches. I told her that I had already given half of my assets to her. She should not deny my right to enjoy my watch collection as life is unpredictable. I might not be around anytime if something unfortunate happened. She said if that was to happen, I could leave those money behind to my wife and children. I told her, "Please do not treat my money as your money. I know what I am doing." And that shut her up.

Now u know y I said earlier I buy Rolex? Not because I feel insecure but because I double confirm I will not want to be in the same situation as u r in. I guess the Brand Rolex owe u big time bro. Will other brands help? I seriously doubt so. Anyway sincerely hope everything is ok between u and your spouse ok. Don't because of buying some stuffs then have conflicts. Not worth it too.
