Rather than be mad you can just go out and treat yourself to something?
did the funds for this coat come from a hypothetical joint bank account?
No it's all separate.Quote:

That rather depends if you can afford for her to be spunking £1500 on a coat or not, I'd have thought.Quote:

Cherish her well, f, and begrudge her not, for you are lucky to have her.
Well this is what I don't understand.Quote:

She's always got loads in the bank and I am never quite where I should be :hehe:
Though I put that down to my smoking habit.
that said, one and a half grand on a coat is a leeeeetle bit excessive for the ordinary man, or woman, in the street.
The only slight problem is she buys these things and then she moans she spent to much and feels guilty.Quote:

Well, I doubt she buys such a coat with great regularity, and she needs to be warm over the winter.Quote:

A-ha! So of course, you choose the selfless option of not treating yourself, so when she is wracked by guilt you can give her the money!Quote:

I am disappoint.
Assuming it is her money she can do whatever the **** she wants with it.Quote:

I wouldn;t have a problem because I know she wouldn't have a problem if I went out and bought myself something expensive.
