I think it is more about them having their 'own' stuff or 'new' stuff to go with their new life. I know my W just bought a new tv (among other things) when we have 3 nice new tvs from our old place sitting in the garage here. And these are big ones, 3D ones...not like I am trying to pawn off old black and white tvs with knobs on them.
Exactly. She bought a new bed even though she could have taken ours and I could sleep on our nice air mattress. This was after we were in financial trouble due to all of the house updates, her new apartment bills, etc. I actually confronted her about it and she said, "I just want my own stuff for once." Fighting myself to give her as much space as I can. Right now I'm debating on sending her a really cute picture I just took of D2 at daycare. I got there to sit with her during lunch and she was wearing a surgeon's cap from their dress-up area. Teacher said she'd been wearing it all day. But I'm trying to see how long I can go with no contact from me, so I'm not sending it. I'll show it to her when we're around each other next.
