Me: " Well honey I told you I was thinking about it."



Wife: " well, when does it come?"



Me: "last Thursday."



Can't repeat exactly what my wife said then, but it ended with, "I'm so going shopping!" Cost me about a grand at Macy's, but worth it.

lol

I play the long game with my wife. I start talking about what I want to buy about 6 months in advance. I mention it weekly, pretend I'm going to pull the trigger 2 months in. Keep mentioning and stay "undecided". By 6 months in, she just says, "you've been looking at it forever -- just buy it." A lot of bicycles have been purchased this way and my FR-S was purchased this way.
