Row off the wife.

I always thought the line "Hey, it could be hookers and blow!", would be effective.

It was not.

I sometimes get the feeling

Tank arrived. I just got THE look.

I do have a recommendation, and again, at your own risk.
My suggestion is such;
1) Sell away your plastic HL leopard. She is going to bug at you over it anyway.
2) Buy her a new bag and say "Sorry".
3) Now, ask for permission to buy the latest greatest metal spec up Leopard. If step 2 is done alright, you will get a instant approval.

And be happy and merry ever after.

Or, ask to go with her to a thing she would normally go and do by herself..............really insist.............
Then if she lets you come along, she will suffer from a cramped style. Chances are she will question why you want to go along & you can say that you get bored and lonely at home & from now on you will be with her all the time
Any woman half-smart will say pretty quick that you can stay the F home and amuse yourself with them damn expensive toy things .
Job done.

I have suggested the above to her. I received one of the most withering look’s ever.

My now ex-wife never complained a peep about my hobby, even when my interest in the hobby was at its peak, and tanks and tank parts were pretty much everywhere, from my desk right up to the space under the sink. When we moved in 2016, I just gave away all my tanks and parts except for my Panther G - which I still have.
But now though, my cat is the only one that dislikes my hobby...whenever she sees me messing with the tanks she seems displeased that I'm paying attention to anything except her. And tries to jam herself me and the tanks...
