I never really understood it as she was the breadwinner of the family and wasn't really under any restrictions as far as spending went. I guess it was sort of the thrill of the forbidden for her. </p> <p>I think this kind of behavior speaks of a time when the husband handled all the finances and women were either given an allowance or had their spending controlled by their spouses. I can't imagine people doing it now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-just-wrong#post-50451 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:59:07 +0000 kh 50451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually know someone who does this. Some people like the thrill of the "forbidden" and the sneakiness of it. Sort of like having s*x at a place where one might just get caught. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-just-wrong#post-50359 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:20:31 +0000 Sarah 50359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may be old fashioned, but I can't hide anything from my husband. The guilt I feel does too much damage to our relationship. And like Nicole's wise mother said, if you have to cover it up, you know it's wrong.<br /> My husband doesn't set limits on my shopping, he just tells me "you see the account, you know the budget, and I trust you to do what you feel you need to do". One time I spent way more than I told him I would, and he got home and I was very upset at myself. So yeah, he doesn't even have to say a word. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-just-wrong#post-50348 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:30:10 +0000 Nicole 50348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MY mother always said, If you are lying or hiding the truth, then you know what you are doing is wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-just-wrong#post-50347 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:29:15 +0000 anne 50347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It certainly is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-just-wrong#post-50306 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:43:09 +0000 Laura 50306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Chicago Tribune style section had a story today on a pre-party for Confessions of a Shopoholic held at a local hotel. Cocktails, designers selling their wares, then off in a trolley to the theater to watch the movie. </p> <p>That wasn't shocking.</p> <p>What WAS shocking was the revelation from a department store clerk attending the party who said she has a client who buys department store gift cards at Dominick's (that's our local Safeway grocery chain) to use for her own personal shopping. In others words ... hiding her shopping from her husband by making it look like grocery expenses.</p> <p>There are no words! </p>
