You know FY, I get that her feelings might be hurt. And I get why you are hesitant to spend the money at this time.

The thing is that I dont feel MLC gives them a free pass to do or say whatever they feel like to us. It just doesnt.

You are entitled to how you feel and should be able to express that to her.

Having said that, I think she is feeling like you are her parent and no adult wants to feel that way.

I dont see anything wrong with you saying, I understand you are upset about how I am feeling about this big purchase. May I please explain my thinking and then we can decide together how to move forward regarding this?

I understand what the others are saying about would this matter if you both reconciled. Is it worth it to argue about it?

But I feel that you have been more than accomadating to her and that your feelings do matter, too.

If you feel this strongly, I would urge you to speak to her about it.

Good luck, sweetie. I know you will do this in your wonderful FY way. smile
