If finances allow, maybe take her for date/buy nice gift of equal value for her? I may not be married, but I heard this strange rumor that women like to be noticed and treated nicely every now and then.

I let my wife buy things. She usually does all the bills, and will know if I bought something. If she brings it up, I shrug and remind her about the purse or whatever she bought last. Easy. Especially as the last thing I let her buy was a new house

She will give me a hard time once in a while. I'll just find something I don't need and sell it here or on eBay. Which I'm going to have to do if I buy the Warhound I've been thinking about....

I recommend being single. It works wonders in this kind of situation, as I'm sure everyone who gives suggestions like "tell her to go back to the kitchen where she belongs" and "tell her you never seek her permission when she buys $40 worth of cleaning supplies or a new ironing board" will soon be able to attest to.

Just explain that it's your new deity and to deny you it's effigy is unconstitutional.

Hah. My fiance knows her place. Men need to stop being wimps.

I find the opposite to be true. The married/romantically involved ones tend to be a little more well-adjusted in my experience.

You don't convince her.

You buy it and tell her;

Are you sure you want an effigy of Cthulu? I hear those things do a number on your sanity.

Anyway the only option is divorce. No exceptions.

I see it as protection when our dread lord rises from the seas to reclaim this world.

Man sloths are pretty creepy, imagine waking up and there's one sitting next to you, it's body a devilish mockery of the human form. Then it slowly turns its repulisve head towards you, an absolute affront to sanity. With cold, dead eyes that pierce the soul, only your reflection is visble, drowning in a sea of blackness. And don't bother running because as we all know sloths are notorious for their savage speed and brutal talons.

Frighteningly enough, I just realized that this basically describes my actual religious beliefs. Just minus the "from the seas" part.

I hear beatings work wonders*






* JUST KIDDING DONT BEAT YOUR WIFE!!!!!!!!!

I say to:

A) sell something that shes been nagging you to ghet rid of & with the earnings get her something nice & get yourself the figure.

B) tell her its a trophy (like a golden daemon) for a compitition your hosting online.

C) grow a pair & just get the dam thing already (sale ends tomorrow).

Why is it "It's on sale!" always works for women, but when we want something the bills are always more important...

I say feth her, buy it. If she leaves you over something stupid like that then maybe she wasn't worth a gak anyway. Besides, god only knows how much crap she's bought without even telling you about it.

Then again, I'm not married and never want to be, so I admit my advice probably isn't the best.

More than a 16 year relathionship and 6 year marriage with my hive queen she knows exactly what she gets, Its a question of space if you are a responsable guy with your finances it doesnt matter when and what you buy. Same goes with her if she buys something she likes its ok as long as priorities are covered... like providing for the son or bills etc.
On the other hand if you are a freaking high spender and with no sense of responsability then you better come up with something special for her in order to presuade her Most women like flowers, give her some on a good romantic dinner then pop the question. Do you want to let me buy a thulu thingy?

Foot massage.

While shes asleep, buy it. If she asks questions, foot massage.

The big question is, why do you need it? Will it be a desk ornament, an actual gaming piece or just something you want now and will soon stash away on the attic?

There are dozens of everyday uses for a small plastic Cthulhu.

Are any of those without the loss of sanity and the eventual will to live?

Yes. You can get a second Cthulhu figurine, give it lipstick and a wig, and have the two miniatures fall in love, mate, and make many, many more little Cthulhus that you can sell to pay off the purchase of the first two.

Dump her and start dating one of the dudes from your LGS. Problem solved.

Not true... If my husband bought me a unit of WHF Dwarf Miners, he'd earn mega-bonus points!


And if you wife needs to be convinced that you need a plastic 'thulu, she's strange

Tell her if she lets you buy it, you will give her sex.

If any argument occurs it will be moot, you still have your shiny new man dolly, case closed.

As a subtle variation on that approach, the technique I favour is to buy it, hide it for several months, then casually leave it lying around or something.

"Darling, is that something new you've bought?"

"No dear, I've had it for ages, I just thought I would get it out for a look."

This works well with wives wanting no knowledge in manly pursuits like toy soldiers, fantasy RPGs, and photography, so long as you do already have piles of inexplicable crap stashed away.

Which I know you do...
