why would a woman who is so concerned about our finances want to get a bubbie job/sell the house when that will only hurt our financial situation? it's not logic it's how she feels, her feelings can and will change. she doesn't want you to fix her feelings, understand it for what it is - her feelings which are important to her and the key to her heart.
if she dismisses things as 'too expensive/impractical' then why does she want plastic surgery?
the quote above asks the right questions. it's not about the money.
Because, TADA! She has low self-esteem, concerns about her appearance. I know it's about how she feels. But as all the advice has shown, there are a number of ways to address validating/agreeing with her. That's why I posted it.
