MAGNETO HYDRO DYNAMICS (MHD) and Love?

[Becca1975]

I'm gonna defend BB for a moment here....on the furniture buying. I actually do understand the replacing the perfectly good 20 year old furniture. For some of us (men AND women) there is a satisfaction in seeing this wonderful room that we decorated and created. Sometimes it is nice for a change. 20 years is a long time to have furniture and I'd say it is time for a change! I feel my most content when my furniture is nice and clean, looks nice in my home, home is clean and fresh smelling, etc. I was a lot LESS happy to come home to a living room with the stained up ugly hand me down couch that i hated. Now that I have a nice set, I feel good coming into my living room and no qualms about inviting someone over to sit on them!

Does she go overboard? Quite possibly. It is easy to go overboard when the money is available. I probably would too.

Have you tried sitting down wtih a financial advisor and showing her that if she keeps spending at this rate, she will be out of money by age XX?

I think you really do love BB. I think you have fallen into the same rut as the rest of us and our WAS's. You don't always feel it when things aren't going right...but I'm willing to bet that if things were going ok for you, you would feel that love again in a heartbeat (no pun intended).

I do understand what you are saying....if you read my post over in "piecing" you will see that my H wants to buy a $700 shotgun......that he absolutely does not need, when he can't pay his bills or give me any child support money. I'm 100% for seeing our dreams come true, but something like this needs to wait until we are more financially secure!

Anyway, i'll climb down off my soapbox too...
