It's our anniversary tomorrow so I have dinner planned at a restaurant. Hanky panky only happens in my house on birthdays and when the Haleigh Comet passes.

Apologies in advance for being so blunt, but... that sounds like an awful relationship. I can't imagine being married to someone who would react that way.

I've been with my girlfriend for 5+ years now (we're practically married) and she gets just as excited about my new watch purchases as I do.

Probably just worried it would cost him a load of Louis Vuitton gear

I remember those days. Just wait until you're actually married, all changes then

Not always true. Reading these posts always make me feel very grateful for my relationship with my wife (Next year will be our 10th wedding anniversary.) My wife is just too nice I guess and supports all of my hobbies. I really do feel lucky to have met such an awesome woman, lord knows I don't deserve her

To the OP, congratulations on the new watch it looks great
