My wife, she is dead. She died in the field, so I don't have to worry about this.
Some woman I know says her husband goes through Bet On Sports. So I see her after the weekends sometimes and she says " man, Fred (not his real name) was bummed out" I say "why" and she always says " he lost some money on the games, he even lost his big bet on Sunday night" I say "that stinks" and then when I ask the amounts, the little bugger tells her he bet like $25 on the Sunday night game. They live in a very expensive part of Boston. Should I tell her that he is full of crap?

If anyone does hide it from their wife and they are still happily married, they must already have too much money....Honesty has been my policy to staying happily married for 17 years...I would say giving her a little extra money hasn't hurt the relationship very much either...
If I could say two things that has saved me on a number of occasions it would be the words, "Honey, you are correct." and to always remember that SILENT and LISTEN have the same letters in them.....
Good luck!

If you're making money at it she won't care. I've never met a woman who objected to a man making money, regardless of how he did it. If you're losing money, then you should quit betting and not worry about telling her.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Amen brother. It used to be "quit spending all your time in front of the PC", now it's "how much money are we up".
Whatever. Women are like the IRS... give her a piece and she'll be happy.

SO TRUE and in both cases, it usually depends on how big the piece is, which unfortunately for you LANDER, is not nearly big enough and may end up costing you years and tears...

Ken,
I love America so much that sometimes I even send the IRS extra - I round up to 45% because 35% is just short changing our country when we have 190,000,000,000 in unjust was costs to pay back. On top of that I'm planning to file seperately so both my wife and I can donate $1 to monarchist Bush.
