From a wife's perspective, I can see it as a trap and an opportunity.
I, personally, wouldn't do something like that to give myself leverage as it's sort of (okay, very) manipulative. But that doesn't mean that it isn't a possibility. I've learned not to do things for people with the expectation that they will return the favor without me having to ask for it and remind them that they owe me. Life is easier when you have no expectations.
However, it's a great opportunity for you. If you appreciate it that she's giving you some free reign, you should let her know that you appreciate it. Don't take it for granted
Yeah, mother's day is coming up and that's a good time to return the favor. But don't do it because you feel like you need to return the favor in order to be even with her. Do it because you appreciate the gesture and want to show her how you feel.
Yeah, I know I'm probably being too serious on this thread. I can't help it!!

That sounds a lot like my Christmas trap. It was an unintentional trap though. Hubby set it up and I just couldn't help taking advantage of it. I had his present all wrapped and ready to go. I couldn't really think of any big ticket item that I wanted, and he had no clue what to get me. So the conversation went something like:
DH: "I guess I will just let you go shopping for your Christmas."
ME: (knowing what had been spent) "I get equal $$$ amount???"
DH: (10 second pause) "I guess so..."
He got a 125 gb x box with kinect, and games. Come to think of it, I never did finish spending my Christmas allowance. Summer's here, time for some warm weather shopping.
But trap or no trap, it's worth it. vape happy.

You Bet It Is!
Go ahead and spend $100 on New Cartos from Bad and then spend 50 Bucks on your Wife and see what Happens.
You have to live a long, Long, LONG Time before She forgets that one. Trust me.
LOL. Nope. No sarcasm.
I just have to think of what to get her.
I know she wants a tattoo fixed and a new one that has our 3 girls initials on it.

I will tell you this. If there is something specific that she wants, she has told you. If you are anything like my husband, you didn't realize it because it was too subtle. You have to pay attention. The tattoo sounds like a good place to start, but you have a little time. Pay very close attention to what she says off-handedly.
What a cynical lot!
I'm sure she just has your best interests at heart, and doesn't want you vaping on old, outdated stuff. She cares about you a lot, and wants you to be one of the cool guys.
And she has no idea that Mothers' Day is coming up.
Now, tell her I said this and ask her if you can buy me a vivi nova with a red sleeve. Thank you.

Yes, this! I'm not a husband yet but I'm learning that these "hints" are VERY subtle, you have to hear them. I got to the point where I pull out my iphone and add them to a running "things to get my honey" note!
You are well on your way to being a superstar husband! Mine just gets annoyed at me for not making it more clear. The thing of it is, you get a LOT more credit if you heard the subtle hint than if she had to tell you.
It was a nice house. But we couldn't afford it. I wanted a cottage, he bought a four bedroom ranch. And things ended rather badly.
Not that a house compares to vaping stuff, importance-wise, but there is a lesson here: it's always best to take the other spouse's general opinion under advisement even when they say otherwise to make us happy.
IMHO: I am with Vapidkitty here - spend about 70 or 80 bucks and don't forget a present for her.
Now see, that is what is wrong with us as a gender.You are well on your way to being a superstar husband! Mine just gets annoyed at me for not making it more clear. The thing of it is, you get a LOT more credit if you heard the subtle hint than if she had to tell you.
I don't go for the subtle hints. To go back to the Christmas example, last year my hint was "I want a Keurig I want a Keurig I want a Keurig I want a Keurig I want a Keurig." One morning while checking the sale papers I found one and woke hubby up to tell him it's on sale- you want to go get or do you want me to? But after 14 years of marriage I know him well enough to know that if there is one big thing that I want I am going to get it. He doesn't like to guess, even though he is a good shopper (12 years in retail LOL) and I am easily pleased with presents.I always end up telling him, and I don't have a problem with that. I just WISH he would hear the hints. He gets credit for the presents, he would get MORE if he heard the hints. I don't get mad at him for not hearing them or anything.
well i did it, i ordered two phoenix, two fluxo's, two vivi nova's, one crypto and a hv vision extreme mini

The Dye is now Cast.
Better budget for a 20% Better Gift to your wife.
Just get her a nice bunch of plastic flowers for Mothers Day, and tell her after spending so much on the e-cig gear that there wasn't enough left for anything better. Then after you come out of your coma . . . .
