Does your wife know how many guns you own?
I was thinking today about a new rifle, I just recently bought one, I never did mention it to my wife nor do I have any intentions about letting her know about the next purchase. I know she has no idea how many I do own, they all do look a like and I have no idea how many I own, so it would be impossible for her to know.
Am I the only husband out there not sharing every detail with his wife when it comes to firearms? She knows I am always tinkering with something, she has never once asked if I am finished with it. It seems to me that if she were altering a dress at some point in time I would expect her to be finished.

Except for a couple of pronoun substitutions, that accurately describes what I know about the number of purses my wife has.
I couldn't care less how many bags she has as long as it doesn't put us in the poor house, and she feels the same about my various hobbies. Now, I've got a good friend whose wife knows about between 15-20% of his firearms purchases. He has three safes, and she only goes into one of them, so she doesn't have a clue what's in the others. To be fair, they're a relatively happy growing family with no financial issues... but we routinely joke that she would be absolutely shocked if she had any clue how many guns he actually owns. He buys and sells so frequently that the volume is obscured by the flow.
I showed him this thread yesterday, and I told him that there's a series of questions he should ask his wife just for kicks:
"How many guns do you think I own?"
"How many guns do you think I should own?"
"How many guns do you think I want to own?"
Feel free to add others... :)
