Here is my plan that has worked for the last 23 years.

When I first started dating my wife, I showed her all of the R/C planes and stuff and I told her she needed to decide right away whether she can handle my addiction.

Just to play it safe though, I have so many R/C planes and things in the basement that a new one goes completely unnoticed! Especially new turbines. I get off work well before she does so she never sees any of the new stuff arriving on the doorstep.

I never made the mistake that so many guys make; I have always been in charge of family finances and paying the bills.
