I have to accept guys, that married couples or those in a relationship should always be honest with their partners.
But i am guilty of that because i hide the true prices of the things i buy for myself. Experience taught me to hide the prices of the things i bought for myself specially if they are expensive because i know he will violently react to it. He will surely say i am a spendthrift. So when i buy something and he asks for how much did i buy it, i would say the lowest price.

You should ask permission to your partner, when purchasing something. If your spouse does not allow, of course, your partner, have a reason. If you work, and has his own money, maybe you can buy things you want, half of your money, the other half of the money of your husband.

We both have full time jobs and we have a common money. But i buy my things from my own money.
I just have to hide the price specially if it's an expensive one, because i know he will violently react .So i have to tell him a lower price so he may think it's a reasonable price.
But that rarely happens though, because i am now a practical mother so i buy things expensive only when it's inevitable.
Have a nice day!

What happened to your husband often happens to people who are brought up in a humble economic conditions. I have been a spendthrift myself. This is because my family has been going through a financial crisis. Since my father took retirement from his job, every member of my family had to curtail expenses. However, renunciation soon became our habit. We started to become extremely stingy about buying most of the things. However, my father was very enthusiastic about buying books. Then I started earning some money by teaching students and doing online jobs. When I saved some money in my bank, I started to spend a portion of it and guess what, it really felt good. This is one small experiment that I did with my own mind. Sometimes, spending money for things you don't really need can make you feel good. Do I need novels? I don't because I can always download them for free. Yet spending some money on books made me really happy. That you are able to buy the things you want, is a concept that always gives you pleasure.

Dear friend,
I hope it is better to choose the right things to hide and not to hide. Some things are definitely to hidden so that the life would go smoothly. But choosing the right one to hide is the quality one wants. Some thing if revealed may cause lots of problems, may these problems could be avoided just hiding it. But make sure it is all for wellness and peace.

I am not married yet but I have been with my boyfriend now for almost 3 years. We are very honest with each other and things work out very well we rarely fight and when we do fight we always make up after talking things out. But I do know what you mean about men not liking us to spend allot of money. My boyfriend supports me so he gives me money to buy the things we need for the house and for personal use and just as long as I don't go crazy with the spending and get everything he is fine when I but a little something extra for myself and I think he is ok with it because I do things for him all the time.

Good for you because your boyfriend understands you.
My husband and i both work and we do have our own money aside from our common fund. So, i get to spend for my own, though when he sees my new item , he would really ask how much because he knows me from my past single life, that i love expensive things. So now, that we are sending our daughter to college, he watches my purchases for myself.
I can't blame him though.
