[QUOTE="Shari, post: 207405, member: 1848"] OMG, I'm ROFL at Tiffany. That's a great idea. I understand his view, too - I want things, too. Like a car I don't have to drive 5mph for the first mile every morning. And that I can look and see what gear its in instead of counting clicks when I shift. And a "new" vehicle that's no more than a decade old (our "newest" vehicles is 13 years old). A house built in the previous century would be really nice, too (seriously - mine wasn't). And the list goes on and on. He wants a motor cycle. After our little conversation last night, he went to look at trucks on the internet and ended up looking at motorcycles all night instead. His last purchase was a commercial grade lawnmower that cost as much as a used truck...so my sympathy is a little waning right now. I gotta prioritize my list of wants and balance them with the family's needs, too. Guess thats part of what didn't sit well with me on this. That and the deal with the rest of his family treating me like dirt - its like my stuff isn't good enough for him cause he can't trash it... That's probably my skewed perception, but its kinda where I'm at. [/QUOTE]
