Angela, I am glad you H didn't move out, although I also realize this means you are staying in the front seat on that rollercoaster. I am right there beside you with white knuckles gripping the railing.
Even though it made you uncomfortable and was hard, I think you did good with your parents. It is important that you stand up for your H now and maintain respect. I am sure he would have felt disrespected if your parents put tires on the car.
Isn't it strange... if we were in a normal relationship we could talk these things over with our H's and at least give them the chance to weigh in. "Would letting my parents buy us tires for now be okay? We could pay them back when we have enough saved. Or just let it be their Christmas gift to us, because I know it would take some pressure off of you." But now we just have to make decisions and STFU and carry on, and in cases like these they won't even know the lengths we went to in order to defend their manhood and ability to provide for us.
