Wife wants LV – Husband feels troubled
Recently my wife asked me to buy her an LV set of bags and purse. The set is priced around my 3 months’ salary.
I tried to convince her out of it by telling her that it doesn’t look good on her and doesn’t match her clothes and general style.
To my horror she replied that the reason she wanted it was because it’s priced at around my 3 months’ salary which is almost my entire bonus for the year of 2022.
She also added that the purchase of branded bags is in any event an “investment”. Not fully following what she meant, I asked her to explain.
She said “it’s an investment because after buying it you’ll be invested in me”.
Folks, help! It’s a lot of money and very hard for me to say no. How do I respond?
I am not sure where this is all coming from or what’s it all about.
For context, she makes twice as much. I have been a good hubby. Always helping with housework and finances! What’s happening?!?!?!?
Here are what netizens think
- Sounds like she doesn’t feel secure with you. Think back and try to figure out the trigger? Hope it isn’t because she’s resentful that you’re earning lesser…
- You tell her you also want a set to matchy-matchy with her. Ask her buy for you too then your relationship will be super invested.
- Watches are a better investment (if you know which ones)
- List her on Carousell then use the money to find a new wife
- I just thinking out loud but is this LV request a smoke screen for something else. It’s just curious to me when she say, if you buy the LV, then you will invest in her.
I mean, it is either as simple as she wanting an LV or you are not giving her the attention/affection (aka investment)| - Tell her that with her salary, she can buy them for herself. If she insists, can start going for marriage counselling already.
- Tell her u want a lambo.. she shld buy for you cos she look good in it when u drive her around.. and a very good investment
- You need to calm down and think … Is it cheaper to buy her LV or to divorce with her?? This is a life-changing question
