You know, the funny thing is I still default to the belief that since my W "checked out" some time ago, she should not care about what decisions I make for myself - such as the car.
The word should is a ticket to hell. There is only what IS, and beating your head repeatedly against SHOULD will only give you a headache.
Your W is reacting in a way that makes (warped) sense to her. Perhaps she sees it as less money for HER. Who cares why she responds the way she does? Hold true to what's right for you, then smile and nod at the BATCHITCRAZY and lob an, "I'm sorry you feel that way," or, "I can see how you'd see it that way," at her. Then tra la la down the path and do what you were going to do in the first place.
