Sure, and I hid money too. If I would not have done it, I would have had an argument every time I went to buy another part for my car projects. Now that I am single again () my cat doesn't really care how much I spend on myself, just as long as his dish is full.
Why would I? I don't have a spending problem and we live comfortably so I see no motivation to hide any purchases. I equally don't give him a hard time for his purchases - as long as we are, in general, bringing in more money than we are spending, I see no reason to curb either of our spending. I can see how it might be a bigger issue in homes were money is tighter, but a healthy relationship should still be an honest one.
I use to hide purchases from my sons father. And I am far from a big spender. I am wearing 10 year old jeans today...
My ex spent money on everything he wanted and would throw fits when money was spent on the kids, so I would hide things in the car and bring things into the house while he was at work.
No he checked receipts but I don't hide stuff or lie about what I buy. My sister does tho bc she will buy clothes or shoes then hide them from her husband.
I can see why someone would sometimes you dont wanna start a fight or hear someone say something about how much u spent or what u bought.
If you bring it home and have it in the house, not hidden, but it doesn't have to be somewhere obvious either and it goes unnoticed for 48 hours, you can then say "that old thing, I've had that forever...." if the subject comes up.

I haven't, but she isn't exactly asking or keeping tabs on my purchases. We both have our fun money and what we do with it is whatever we feel like
I have never really been in a relationship where this wasn't the case.
