They guys I've been with ether don't know what LV is and don't really look at what bag I'm caring. Or They think I'm mental. Yet is seems fine for them to go and get a brand new ferrari and not talk about the price in a bad way. I ended up just getting a new bag on purpose with one guy every time he told me it was "silly". He didn't last that long.

My SO is the same way! He think's it's ridiculous to spend so much money on a bag, but if I counted up how much money he's spent on random items that just sit in a drawer he would shush.

As long as i use my allowance he doesn't care. When i get a bag i normally save for a month or two. He still thinks I'm nutso though. If we didn't have the money for it he would definitely give me the "what-for"! :lecture:

My ex-husband thought $22.00 was too much for mascara and wanted me to buy the $1.99 kind at Walmart (he was a CPA and watched every penny). I wasn't able to buy the things I loved until I divorced him. If any man tried to control me now I would separate his head from his body, painfully! HA HA! (Just kidding!)

lol, i love this post!

it took a while and some convincing for my DH to let me get my first LV (around $900). once he did that, it was all downhilll from there. Pretty soon he started thinking $500 is "cheap" for a bag. Seriously.

My husband is very supportive of me and my spending habits. He never makes me feel guilty for wanting an LV - he just rolls his eyes and smirks and says "Yeah yeah, go ahead." lol He's so cute. :)

My DH doesn't care if I spend money on purses w/ money I've saved up, even though he always says he doesn't understand why you would spend > $800-1200 on a purse. I think I can totally save and spend because I work full-time in a profession that pays really well hehe, and we don't have kids yet. ^^ But we'll see how things will be in about a year or two from now... shhhh he doesn't know I'm eyeing on couple LV purses right now LOL. =P

I recall Jill saying her dh was a PHH (Purse hating husband). That's MY DH too. He assumes they're expensive and really doesn't want to know exactly HOW expensive. Since I always pay cash and save up for each bag, he has no problem with my spending my saved up pennies on them (though he DOES think all those pennies could be spent on something better than purses, lol).

My DH is a very sweet man and only want to make me happy. When we first started dating, I told him all about my habits; especially my purse habit, and his only response was "if you clean bathrooms, then we have a deal " Every since, I have been cleaning our bathrooms and he has continued to purchase my lovely bags!:smooch:

I feel your pain-I have finally resorted to telling him that I traded a bag for my new bags-I just can't take the lectures anymore about consumerism blah,blah,blah-even his hobbies make him money-I am not so lucky!!! I suggested we go to the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy in our household but he did not vote for that! LOL I know he is right and it is absolutely absurd to spend tons on more than one bag but it is hard to quit!

DH says I can spend my own money on the 'small things' like bags and he'll take care of the 'big things'. I don't have a problem with that. :smile1:
