Once my husband really wanted to buy this bike. We were trying to save but I could see that he really wanted it. Even if I knew he would understand if I said no, I said yes instead. He expected me to say no. I could still see his face now, how happy and excited he was. He was like this kid who got a new toy. I don't know if it was irresponsible. But it's not like we would go hungry the next few months if he bought it and since we got married he rarely bought anything for himself anymore. I felt like giving him a sort of a gift. I figured we could save on other expenses to cover for the cost little by little. I think the joy he felt that day was worth more than the money we spent on the bike. I know this is just a material thing but in a way I was to able to make him happy and I felt happy too.

What do you think about what I did? Any comment is acceptable, both positive and negative.

that was very sweet of you... I'm sure any husband would love to have a gift from his wife knowing that he deserved it and that the wife understands... since you can manage the few months then I guess buying the bike wasn't a bad idea...

Hey, poverty, they won't really go into poverty with that single purchase I think. She just must not make it a habit of buying him things that are not of priority. I think what she did was sweet and I'm sure her husband appreciated it too.

Sometimes we have to bend our rules to make our partner happy.

I agree. When we can we should show our love and even bend the rules for our partner.

I think he felt your love by the gesture. He's lucky you were willing to show him your love even it meant bending some of your own rules.
