Well, first you need to answer if you are a Christian or not. approaches differ in each case.

I'll also note, that you did not make any reply, to my post about what constitutes impulsive behaviour, and the remedy.

let me give you a semi-related example of your situation.

Lets say, that you "impulsively" decided to buy a new car by yourself.
Your family will now be "in the hole" for $1200 every month, for a new car that you didnt really need in the first place.

your wife is furious with you. You offer to her, that you will sell it back. you'll lose some money, but you wont be paying an extra $1200 every month that could be used for other things.

She replies with "Oh, no you dont! we'll lose $1000 if you give it back. you made that stupid decision, and now we'll suffer for it...."

So, if you keep it, she's going to be mad at you. and if you give it back, she's going to be mad at you.

Some people are like that. They set things up so that they can be angry at you no matter what choice you make. Because they're so sick of you, they just want to keep being angry with you no matter what you do.

So... do you keep the car? Or do you give it back, and deal with your wife complaining for 3 months about the $1000 you lost... as opposed to dealing with your wife complaining for the next 5 years about the $1200 you're paying on "that dumb car" every month?

Sometimes. impulsive decisions, have nasty consequences to them, even if you try to reverse it.
That still doesnt mean that you should stick with the decision after you make it.
