Same! wink

I totally agree on what you said about the partnership in an R and I can see why her comments about her XH would throw up some red flags for you. I earn more money than Sparky and my expectation of him is exactly what the Dr. told you hers was of you. I just want him to contribute equally to our household expenses and do the "manly" stuff that I can do but don't like to do (like anything related to the vehicles). We share everything else equally and neither of us are big spenders, so it works for us.

As far as opinions of the gifts, if you think she will like them, then I think they are great. They show a very practical side of her with a little thought and romance thrown in with the earrings, ornament and coupons.

I love that you have found someone who is who she said she was from the beginning. I don't want to say I told you so, but I believe several of us ladies tried to tell y'all women do exist who are exactly who they say they are and are good, kind, caring, decent, loving women and NOT game players. I guess the proof is in the pudding. smile
