[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My vote is that he won the gift card, or the office pool or whatever and wanted the sword. He knew you would never ok the purchase so he hid it. Poor guy.[/quote]

This was my first instinct. He got the gift card at work legitimately somehow, was embarrassed as an adult man that he wanted to buy a fake sword, so did it on the downlow. When I was in my late 20s, I once spent $150 on a Lego model of Hogwarts for myself, and you can bet your ass I didn't advertise it, because I was fully aware that it was a stupid impulse purchase of an overpriced child's toy and that spending several weekday nights putting together Lego Hogwarts meant I was possibly deranged.

The sneaking is a problem, but the much more significant issue, IMO, is that you apparently think so little of your husband that your first instinct is to snoop around his phone and immediately assume he is embezzling from work. There are dozens of equally likely if not more likely scenarios to explain how he bought the sword and yet that is the one you jump to. That is a big problem, and it isn't all on him. [/quote]

+1 best analysis yet

You do come across as rather suspicious and judgemental, OP. [/quote]

OP even if y'all living paycheck to paycheck DH should not have to sneak around to make a personal purchase.   I can't believe to jumped to the conclusion that your DH is embezzling from his job.  That says a lot about what you think of him and it's not good.  [/quote]
