Need help convincing wife!

I'd suggest that you be reasonable but buy what you need and tell her to deal with it.

Obviously, you're not married.


(And if you are, you're better at it than I am [])

As one who is approaching two decades of marital bliss, I can tell you that I think District_History_fan is either not married, or won't be much longer! []

Ballsy,stupid, but ballsy.

It ended up only taking a few days. I badgered her to the point where she caved. Probably not the best strategy, but I had my lens in a week.

Better to badger her for consent (and follow it with outward glowing apprreciation and excitement) than to either ignore or deceive. When I was married, I handled it by buying one for her too. That worked fine. We had different, non purchasing issues, that were far more fundamental. Just remember,next timeshe wants something, it's a fantastic idea!
