Dude, I have the same problem, lol. My wife is always like "you should get it!". That is how I got my awesome Fender Stratocaster in Miami Blue.
The Cameron modded Marshall will always be my favorite amp of all time. My buddy had one and was phenomenal. That tone is thr peak I'm my opinion, especially with a nice Les Paul.
It’s an underhanded trick used by wives everywhere! It’s the, “you should get that for yourself,” trick so when they want something there is nothing you can say!! If you do they just remind you that they supported your desire for a gear acquisition, and they try to get you to spend maximum cash on yours so they can double down on their own!
It’s a clever act of subterfuge because it’s cloaked in your desire for a new piece of gear and you become wildly excited your wife is telling you to go for it, and you can no longer think straight as a new piece of gear inbound is clouding all rational thinking. GAS is a powerful and insidious affliction that we all know too well.
You can combat this by immediately following your gear acquisition with a smaller gift for the wife. Like a dozen roses or a new mug. (With personalized message of course that says either, “number 1 wife,” or, “you are the best wife in the world,” and this must be delivered with a warmth in the voice and immense gratitude on the facial expression. Or, that dog you’ve always wanted, get it, and tell the wife it is for her as all women love adorable puppies.(she will soon discover the wild animal that you’ve just brought into the house was strictly used by the feared Stasi and KGB and will grow into a ferocious killer solely by its own nature!) Soon after it’s arrival, you must promptly execute a hostile takeover that might even involve renaming the dog!
I’m just joking, it’s all from the mind of a childhood friend. He was positive his wife had hidden motives when she encouraged him to get things he wanted, (she did this because he never got anything he wanted and got her whatever she wanted) yet he could never tell me what her hidden motives were. It was actually super funny because he would be over analyzing everything she said, convinced she was trying to trick or manipulate him. (She wasn’t) They are both 45 now and have been together since they were 12, yet he thinks she is with him for any reason other than his winning personality and bizarre appearance. He is the most likable man alive. And absolutely hilarious without a clue that he is funny at all. It’s really funny listening to his ramblings and analysis of women. Although, I don’t think he means what he says.
