LAST EDITED ON Dec-01-03 AT 09:46PM (MST)[p]She bought me el 10x42 for christmas. But I don't think I can keep them. I came home and found she had taken about $2500 out of our emergency/finish the basement fund. Of course I flipped out, and demanded to know what she had taken the money for. I knew she wanted to buy them for me, but I just couldn't spend the money on them. And told her not to even think about it. Well, she brought them in and said I could take them back, if I wanted to. I don't know what to do. I can't even open them up, I know I wouldn't be able to take them back, but we really can't afford it. I know she meant well, but she also took extra for more christmas stuff, and now we don't have enough for the basement and nothing for emergencys. What makes me mad is every time I would look at them, I will remember she took that money without even talking to me. I know this sounds like a no brainer "wife gives swarovskis, just take them and be happy", but my wife tends to spend money with no regard to the future. I strive to save money, so I can give my family a nice life, and hunt as much as possible, but it's tough with a wife who can't control herself. I just wish she wouldv'e bought something for her, instead of the item I've been desiring for the last two years. Then I could just tell her to take it back, and that would be that.
