mike_echo5276 49 March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 Here is the thing about being married though, it isnt just "your money" that is a terrible attitude to have if you love your spouse. I dont know your financial situation, but maybe your wife feels the money could be spent better on other things. You two are a partnership. Dont go buy things behind her back either, that is an even worse thing to do then go "my money i can buy what i want." If you really want the merchandise talk it out with her. I have been married for 11 years, we are a team, and even though we are just a one income family, which happens to be my income, we are a unit and both have equal value input on finances. Take the time to talk it out, and respect her opinion. Remember that not only did you choose her to be your wife, but she chose you to be her husband. Gotta work together as a team.

PinkieAlliPie 421 March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 Happened to me once, so I was at the MLP toy stand on my local supermarket, each pony was around 17 dollars (Thats the price in my country for the 5.99 ponies) So, I really wanted to get Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash. But I didnt have enough cash, I asked my mom and she said, no way we are getting 3 ponies, thats just too much for an stupid toy. Sadly I left Dash because her mane was kind of falling apart. While I was looking at other stuff, my mom payed the 2 ponies with the cash I gave her. So on our way back home, I decided to check the receipt, And guess what? The ponies were 50 percent off. So at the price of 8.99 I could get the three I was just so mad! :okiedokielokie: I went back to the store 4 days later, and Rainbow Dash was gone! Practically the whole MLP stand was gone, there were just like 3 ponies left Didnt get anything at last. Hope I have better luck next time!

Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 I get pony merch and try to sneak it in the house. As long as it's nothing too ridiculous, then my parents nod it off. I did manage to get a Rainbow Dash hoodie. My parents said it was ridiculous, but I didn't care.

mars 4,863 March 19, 2014 Share March 19, 2014 My mom used to buy me the toys, but she got annoyed because I got so many (I think I only have... seven toys?), so now I have to spend my own money. Which I don't have. She's still willing to buy me the clothing though. Sorry to hear your wife isn't for getting pony merch. But don't do anything drastic like divorce her, or go behind her back. Just talk it out, tell her that you're just expressing your love for the show. It might take her some time to come around, but I'm sure she loves you, she isn't going to leave you because you like a show like MLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 March 20, 2014 Share March 20, 2014 Sorry to hear about your current situation. You could talk it out with her, it may take some time for her to change her mind, though you should still stay with her since both of you love each other.

Colorful Respawn 399 March 20, 2014 Share March 20, 2014 So basically have you ever went to a store and saw some MLP merch but you couldn't get for some lame reason? Example took my wife to the mall yesterday and saw Fluttershy and being the fan I am, I walked right up to it nout to go to the counter and my wife stops me in my traks with a no way. Didn't get my pony :c any pony else get this from their other half? So basically have you ever went to a store and saw some MLP merch but you couldn't get for some lame reason?

yayayayayala 1,668 March 20, 2014 Share March 20, 2014 I don't buy stuff these days because I don't want it XD! Hasbro's stuff is pretty meh and I don't really want stuff on my own. My mom has given me a couple posters and a few other things, and last year I got some coloring books and two official books, that Elements of Harmony guidebook and the Under the Sparkling Sea one...and this year I bought some pencils...because my mom actually asked me if I wanted them...OKAY! I have bought pony stuff on my own XD! But if I just went out on my own ever I wouldn't buy lots of pony stuff, and definitely not any of the toys. I already have the one I want (another gift XD.)

Nine 707 March 20, 2014 Share March 20, 2014 I was in a relationship once with someone who tried to tell me what to do, and now I'm not. I never compromise when I know I'm right anyway, which is as good a reason as any to stay single and live however I want. Besides, I make an awful partner. More ponies for me.

Adorkable 2,737 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Usually, the main reason I don't get to buy ponies when I want them is because I spend all my money... ...on buying other pony things. ^^" MAINLY Twilight Sparkle things, might I add. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpop198 696 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Well I'm not married, or in a relationship so, more ponies for me. The only problem though is money, and that it is harder to find merch in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora 38,111 October 2, 2021 Share October 2, 2021 I don't care much for pony merch if i'm honest, It's cute and all but i won't get that much on my own. If i do, it's just nice having. I mostly collect other stuff and get that easily [for now] I don't expect to still do that when i'm on my own though. #NoAI please be so kind to not throw my artworks into AI machines, This is something that unsettles me heavily! <3 Signature by @Moonlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna the Great of all the Russias 3,034 February 12, 2022 Share February 12, 2022 Now that FIM is no longer the latest MLP series, the problem is trying to find the item you want in the first place, and then there is the price that is often increased from the time they were originally sold. I wish I bought more FIM figurines back then. 1 Pony Art Thread Brony since ~25 July of 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
