Quick update:

4 months ago:
me: I think we should use the tax refund to get a new dishwasher.
H: okay, sounds good.

3 months ago:
me: I think we should use the tax refund to get a new dishwasher.
H: I don't think we should spend money on that, leave it, we're going to sell the house anyway.

This morning:
H: I think we should get a new dishwasher.
me: Why do you think that?
H: Because this one is gross. I know you've been working hard to try to keep it clean but something is wrong with it and we should just get a new one.
me: well we had saved part of the tax refund to pay for a new dishwasher.
H: okay, great!
