Guilt

i just sprung for a Nash pb-52 and haven’t told my wife, should I feel as guilty as I do?
Nope. There will be consequences though. You're obviously willing to pay them. I do it all the time ;). If I didn't, I wouldn't have anything cause the answer is always no. I just treat her also when I buy stuff. Surprise!
 
I once had a significant other who complained. That’s why “we” are history. I fully love all free communication. Any withholds take from the relationship. Confront if you wish why there should be any disturbance for purchases. Is it fear? Is it an old story from your partner’s past? Best to recognize and laugh together when it’s triggered but not let it rule you.
