On our trip to Seattle, she bought a very nice handbag, that was quite expensive. She has never owned anything like that before, and I encouraged her to buy it - we had the money.
Well, now she feels it "isn't right" that she bought it. I told her "I'm not going to tell you how to think, but I wish you would just forget about it and enjoy it!".
So this morning I got an email from the Tommy Bahama store. They have an invitation-only sale tonight, 20% off everything.
So I sent her this: Anything you’ve had your eye on, that you’d like to get 20% off? Note that swimsuits are excluded, but I guess it’s the intro of their spring wear. Think I will go and at least take a look tonight. You’re welcome to join me.

Her response: M, please buy something like pants or shorts.... Damn on the swimwear! I’m still reeling on that purse I bought so I’ll pass. Thanks for asking,

Me: over the last 30 years i think you deserve to have bought something extravagant at least once, so maybe wrap your head around it that way! don’t forget i bought 800 worth of clothes on your birthday, and i am eventually buying a new guitar. mm
Her: you're precious thank you
Nice way to end the conversation, wouldn't you say?
