heart broken

I've been eye balling a PPB bag for months!!! I desperately want a wistful weekender in midnight in Malmo, but its been sold out.

Today i convince my hubs to go to the cloth diaper store with me. (mistake) we walk in and it was love at first sight! My bag i so badly wantright front of me!! It was the last one in that print. I told the sales girl that i loved it, and my h over heard. While I'm getting what i need he is off looking around. I make my way over to that beautiful bag, and my h tells me no! It cost too much. My heart sank. I tried to plead my case, but clearly he won. I walk out of the store, without that gorgeous girl. I am so mad!! I tell him he can buy a new tool box for the garage, i offer sex when ever he wants...nothing.

Jerk....

And now i can't secretly go get the bag, because he knows the price. I an kicking myself for even inviting him to go with me. Ugh!!

    Not nice! Every mommy needs a treat. Any special occasions coming up? Birthday? Anniversary? Ask for it then. Or even say the bag will cover two holidays! Like a valentine/st Patricks day present haha I'm reaching but I understand a woman's deep love for bags.

    Omg. I would be so mad. I told my husband about this and I'm horrified. He is rolling his eyes at me but admits he would give in if I wanted it. I am seriously a bag junkie haha

    Well its money we got. I worded it wrong.

    I hope he is just making it a big deal, and gets it anyway.

    Maybe I'm taking this too seriously but you have money that was GIVEN to you and he "told" you no?  How does that work, exactly?  It's money for you to spend on whatever you want.  I'd tell him to kick rocks.

    Yeah, I've looked on Ebay. I will continue to look.

    He said i could get it, but kinda gave me a guilt trip about it.

    We just moved, and I'm out of work, so even our xmas money we need to pinch for the time being. He's right...but i hate that I've gotta watch my spending right now.

    I can't imagine my husband telling me I can't buy something. Sorry that sucks! And you can't even spend your own Christmas money on it? That is not his decision to make.

    PS- I just saw your last post about being out of work which changes my perspective.

    Ok well in fairness, your later posts definitely change the entire tone of what happened.  When money is tight and especially when people are out of work, no you can't really go spending money on wants until your needs are more than covered.

    I have to say this is me with my husband. We are starting a major remodel with many upcoming expenses, and we also have more expenses since he changed jobs. I am on him all the time about saving money, and he continues to spend.

    I think you'll both feel better if you wait until a time that you know you can afford it. They may come out with a print or style you like even more by then.

    Its possible he'll suprise me with it, but in all honesty we've got to really pinch our Pennies. I'm out of work right now, we just did a major move, and we are carrying two house payments, and two sets of bills...on 1 income.

    I'm normally the money saver. I hardly spend money, so he really had to remind me of what's important right now.

    Your situation changes things a bit... Treat yourself once you start working! Or once you ditch one of those house payments! I'm sorry, that must be stressful on both of you!
