It's a really touchy subject with my fiancee. I tell her about most of the things I buy, but not all. She'll notice something like a BP/W, regulators, or a wet suit, but I just don't bother her with details when I pick up backup lights, spools, an SMB, a bottom timer, etc. The little stuff is "don't ask, don't tell." I don't make any effort to hide things. I talk to her about the big stuff, but she's still usually upset when I get it, but she gets over it in a day or so When things get ugly, I just remind her that I spend less on diving and gear per month than I spent on firearms and ammunition per month last year. She wants expensive china and other possessions; I want dive gear and ammo. We both have expensive tastes, but in different areas. I'm trying to get her certified before we go on our honeymoon, so maybe that will take some of the heat off.
