W just saw the car in the garage (I had it opened, of course ). Her response was not one of surprise. One of the kids may have already told her or she may be supressing any big reaction. Let me put it this way. She acted less excited for me than a casual colleague at work did when they heard I got the car.
She was like, "What is it? Oh thats nice. It suits you. I am happy for you. When did you get it? What year is it, 2008? No? Oh it is used. Well it is nice."
I admit that it bothered me that she wasn't more excited for me. I acted all excited for her when she got her Saturn. In return, I got an almost flat response.
During our marriage, she almost always got a new car or at least a nice used one. I have had nothing but used cars, usually hers when she got a new one. The Trooper was 5 years old when I got it and it is now 13 years old. Before she dropped the bomb, she was always trying to get me to buy a nice new car, like a BMW or something. She said that I deserved it. That I was always buying her and others stuff first.
I guess it wouldve been nice to see her excited.
