I was lying in bed and my wife wakes me up by announcing the UPS guy had driven into the yard. Before I can get out of bed, she ran out there and signed for the box. She brings it in and hands it to me immediatly inquiring to what's inside.

Now my wife has no idea of my activities while she's at work and the box contained the very object that had been the object of much joking and snobbery for us ever since a person who is no longer a friend of ours forgot theirs on the shelf in their shower when my wife went to use the bathroom.

So here she is giving me the rundown "What did you buy?" I tell her it's an ebay item. "What did you get from ebay?" I reply "Ummm, some baseball cards." She says giving me a stink eye "That's a pretty big box and it doesn't weigh very much." I quickly respond with "I guess they used this size because of the flat rate scale."

She went to work and it was the last it was ever brought up. The delivery was two days early and I have a PO box for my business that only I have the key to, but I forgot to make sure it was getting sent there. The package was two days early(which is comendable for EF) but if the UPS guy was just an hour later my wife would have already left for work and I wouldn't have this looming over my head "Is she going to bring it up again and get al nosy?" less

Uh that's definitely not good! I can't exactly think of something that would upset a wife... OH SHIT! Yes I can! WOOPS! Lol. Ok, ok, ok. Stupid moment! I was thinking... hmm.. what would this object have been, a butt plug? How is that so bad. & Then I remembered what my partner could order that would piss me off real big and it came to me! lol Ooooh. If she's anything like me, you're one lucky S.O.B. lol Ha ha. Anyways, I'd definitely suggest you talk to her about it before she finds it and knows you've kept it a secret and could end in SERIOUS hurt feelings or worse, end up like I did and it was not pretty. If this object is what I'm thinking then keeping it a secret could really damage her when she finds it. I would strongly suggest talking about it somehow, someway. I honestly had a terrible experience and it left me devastated. Women aren't as crazy as they seem and it can truly have damaging effects on her. My partner now, does not engage in any type of behavior that would hurt me and has no interest, but if I found out he'd been keeping it a secret, I'd totally up and leave this 5 year relationship without a second thought. Can't be hurt by that kind of thing again. I'm not trying to correct you in any way, I'm just saying you should really sit down and listen to why your wife has such an issue with this sort of thing before you do something that could hurt her. You may find that her reasons are totally understandable and it just may change your thinking forever. less

I had this happen to me, but it was not on EF, it was my mom, and I was 17. AWKWARD! I got out of it, but I'm sure she knew something was up. I have been living with my mom while ordering toys since I was 16, but my mom is supposed to be at work when the mail comes. When I was in high school, I would make sure packages came on weekdays, when my mom is 95% at work by 10. Now that I live at school, I try to get most of my packages delivered before I come home for summer. When I am at home, I have packages delivered when I know my mom and sister are at work, and I check the mailbox every 20 minutes between 10 and 12. less
