What do you do when your OH is not "onboard"?

[Scythe13]

I know how you feel Mary.

My wife is about 50% onboard. She thinks it's wise to have spare food, and water. She loves me in the garden and cooking. She's all for a log burner (we're putting it in before the next winter), and stuff like that. She's not a fan of burying a load of stuff in the garden, buying 'tactical' clothing (I hate that expression, but you get what I mean), buying bullet proof vests, and the more extreme stuff.

We have come across a good sentence, "Well, it's your money, so you spend it how you want." That allows me to buy more of the big boys toys stuff. One thing she hates, and I'm very much against (honest I am) is anything illegal. Nothing illegal in the house, is our rule. I think she means the garden too, so I make sure I stay well away from anything I'd consider a BlackOps prep! Her family is all police and military (which is why she's against a lot of the police/military style clothing) so anything illegal would be harshly dealt with.

Wow NR, those techniques seem to be fool-proof haha. I'm sure those things will just get you a slap for treating the other person like a child.

Economics method: If we buy knives in bulk....
Seduction: Wife: Scythe, it looks so sexy when you're doing the vacuuming. Me: Shut up, I'm not falling for that ol'chestnut! Thanks for insulting my intelligence.
Ignore: Wife: I'm ignoring you. Scythe: Okay, I'll be at the pub, back later.
Blackmail: Wife: Fine, no sex for you. Scythe: HAHAHA, don't be silly. You'll be missing out as well then....that backfired!
Bribe: Wife: I'll buy you a gun cabinet if you do the cleaning. Scythe: I'm not falling for that ol'chestnut!
Upgrade: NO FRICKING WAY!!! You don't threaten to divorce someone because they're not a prepper!!! ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?!?
