[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just turned 35, and my wonderful, caring DH bought me a beautiful watch (cartier).  I absolutely love it, and it's a watch I would feel comfortable wearing all the time (ie, not diamond-crusted or anything)...and then I saw the balance on our credit card and realized he paid almost $5k for it.  While we can afford it easily, I feel like this money could have been so much better spent on things on our house that we have plans for, or jeez, a college fund.  I would have been happy with a watch that cost a fraction of this watch.  I don't know how to bring it up, as in the past he's gotten really touchy about me returning his gifts (he feels like if he wants to give me a certain thing, regardless of the cost, then he should be able to get it for me).  I don't want to hurt his feelings or make it a huge deal-should I just suck it up and keep the watch, or should I be honest and tell him I feel uncomfortable with the amount he paid?
