Dear Amy: Should I have just destroyed these old letters, instead?
Dear Amy: My family is upper-middle class. I love to dine out and at my instigation, we do it often.
My wife worked as an accountant before we were married. I am semi-retired and manage our investments and shop for the family. My basic take is that she is testing and teasing you. As much of an asset as your bargain hunting can be, this sort of hyper awareness of prices can also be annoying, especially when she’s trying to enjoy a night out.My perspective is that you saved enough on your meal for your wife to splurge on hers, making the meal basically a wash, financially.You mention that you manage all the family finances and also “shop for the family.
Being generous toward your partner can feel positively expansive, but you interpret your own generosity as your wife taking from you, and you don’t seem to give her the opportunity to be generous in return.Dear Amy: After I retired, I had time to go through boxes of personal papers that I had saved.It was fun rereading many of these, but at this point in my life I don’t feel the need to keep them.
