"your money is your money..." Hahahaha. What do you think happens when you get divorce? You know the money you make, may end up in her bank account even when you're no longer married.

As the topic says. I was saving some money to buy a console on Christmas. I really wanted a Switch, but then I saw a PS4 with Horizon, Uncharted 4, and God of War bundled for a cheaper price so I was kind of indecisive. When my wife saw me hesitating she said: We need a new TV for the bedroom. You already have a lot of consoles and I thought old consoles don't count, but I let myself to be deceived.  Now I feel terrible. I think even a new laptop would have been a better choice.

So you think because you make more money than your wife, you have control? Boy do you have a lot to learn. All major expenses must be discuss and agreed upon by both parties. You cant just justify making a big purchase because you make more money. I do make more money than my wife, but i will never think the way you do. I think this more fucked up than what im doing.

Items like gaming consoles, stereo equipment, TV's are to most women are not a necessity so they will tend to debate with you if its a reasonable purchase. This is why some guys have a hard time justifying those purchase. My method is not to be dishonest with my wife, but for me to buy some thing that is not a necessity without her trying to justify me not buying it.

Here's an analogy. When i take my niece out to buy her a toy, she would ask for barbie doll. To me, all barbie dolls are the same. So i will tell, "But you have one of those already, why do you need another one?". But to my niece, its a different doll. Most wives think the same. Husband wants to buy a PS4, but the wife will be like,  "Dont you have something like that already, the Xbox?". To them a console is just a console, they dont really know the difference, all they care about is that they both play video games. So to them, its not a good justification to buy another.

Only if you let her wear the pants. There's a billion woman out there. No need to stay in something that doesn't suit your needs.
