How to convince my wife

[Damien_Eternal]

It's not a matter of being scared, it's a matter of mutual respect. I don't need to ask, I do it out of respect for her.

However I also think its a matter of respect that she let you do what you want and not make you go to her like you would to your mother asking if you can have a treat. Neither person involved is a child anymore.

This is one reason I refuse to get married. I dont ask anyone to do anything.

If you already have a Plus just buy it and put a case on it. She probably won't even notice.

So you are telling she doesn't check his phone everytime she can? the good thing is the new one is waterproof so he can take a shower with it.

Usually marriage is like one of those primetime sitcoms. Where the woman is all smart n' mighty and the man is the big dope. I refuse to let my marriage be like a sitcom. When I make a purchase I'll tell my wife, but I ain't asking for permission.

Here is the deal. Yes I could go out and buy it if I want (if I could find it in stock), just like she can go out and buy a $300 pair of shoes if she wants. But we don't because we care and respect each other enough to run bigger priced items through each other since we share the same account. If you want to call it getting permission, fine go ahead. We came across a good compromise. I can get a TV now that I don't necessarily need and when the next model comes out, I go ahead and get that. It works.

And yes, she has full access to my phone to go through it whenever she wants and I go through her phone whenever I want. And guess what? I It turns out that we're pretty boring in our texts and emails. I didn't intend for this thread to start a discussion on what is right and wrong in a marriage. This is how our life works and we're both happy and trustful.

Until then, carry on iPhone owners and if you want to start a gofundme page for me to get an iPhone 7 Plus 128 gb on Verizon in Matte Black...go for it. lol

Well said, your wife is a lucky woman. My husband and I share exactly the same values.

If your wife really appreciates the iphones, she should be happy with a 6S or 6, tell her the truth that for now is an expense that exceeds your limits.

Ummmm his wife doesn't want the new iPhone...he does. He wanted to find a way to convince his wife. Not the other way around.

Good luck!! The phone is not worth all that!

You could not have said that better! Kudos!!!

Why ask for permission if that your money and the phone you use yourself..... unlike house or car where you and Wife will be at and sit in...

Refurbished iPhone 6s 16GB - Rose Gold - Apple

 

[ghostface147]

Yeah that's not an iPhone 7 Plus.

 

[lepetitoiseau]

Be extremely sweet to her. Buy her something she likes as well, something that will make her forget about you buying the iPhone. If she still asks, well...It's nearing Christmas, you can say that the iPhone is your Christmas gift to yourself lol.

 

[psamo]

wow

You're talking about a phone. It is nothing compared to your marriage, which is eternally more important.

I told my wife I needed the additional storage. I had a 128gb 6s that was full and we were leaving on a 4000 mile road trip the day after the release of the iPhone 7. She was indifferent when I told her. I love my 256gb iPhone 7.

You seem to have a "firm grip" on things. Congrats.

Why a tv? It's the same value of the iPhone and it's easier to resell an iPhone than a tv. So the value tradeoff isn't there but cool that it all worked out in the end.

I don't need a $1000 tv. I can get a basic one (I'm not picky about them) for about $500. Why a TV though? My current one has a dead speaker so when I play video games, I have to use headphones since I can't hear out of the left channel.
