I think I recently took over a whole thread with this type of scenario.

OK, she spends money for something that is (let's face it) really for her husband and there is even a thought given to whether it was a good use of the money? I don't get it. As long as it wasn't money needed to feed the kids then who cares?

Enjoy life and don't look for things to cause friction in the relationship.

Thanks, Lookout. I asked this question of my husband and he gave an almost identical response.

I think it is important for us to see the aforementioned Hime in this alleged lingerie before a true judgment can be made.

If a wife buys sexy lingerie to wear for her husband, then it's a gift to him, but it's loaded so there are considerations.

From my own personal experience, my husband has never ever ever complained about money I spend on lingerie that i purchase for him to take off. He doesn't complain about any of the money I spend though, so I guess I'm lucky in that way. I can tell he really likes it when I spend money on something sexy though. There are a number of signs.

needs more context.....

is she a double-bagger?





My hubby wouldn't have any idea of the cost until the credit card bill came, so option (a) would apply. If he noticed at all. :p

I'd be outraged and rip it right off her.

Depends on a few things... Like...

1. How much money do you make
2. Do you really give a shit... that she bought it...
3. Just how horny are you
4. Just how horny is she
5. Is it easy to take off
6. Quality and quantity of the... you know...
7. How much money does she make
8. Is she hot looking
9. Is she not hot looking
10. You didn't just masturbate
11. Whatever else sounds good to make things better.

It really falls back on the kind of budget you are on. I have found that most relationships have one of each kind of person, one is a spender, the other is a saver. Somehow you balance each other out.

So back to the original question, I might be pissed if our discretionary spending account was only $50 a month and she spend $75 for a one nighter. As someone else said it all comes down to communication IMHO. But hey on the other had if money is not a big deal, well hell have at it babe. I usually spend around $300 give or take on my wife at Victoria's Secret for Christmas. I encourage her to shop for that stuff when ever she feels like she needs to. The other factor has to do with what type of romantic relationship you have with your SO, but that is another subject altogether.
