[quote=Anonymous]DH just got back from a long business trip and brought me back a very expensive (for us) piece of jewelry that I frankly kind of hate. It is not ugly, but completely not my style, too formal for every day wear but not formal enough for evening. Plus it looks like I could have picked it out of the clearance bin at Marshalls, yet he told me it was very expensive (so I wouldn't get a shock when the cc bill hit.)

He said he bought it to say thanks for all I did during his many trips recently (true, he was gone a bit more than usual this summer and I was basically a single full -time working mom for most of it). He also said he splurged because he rarely buys me anything (also true, but that is our usual MO and I don't expect it.) So while I truly appreciate the sweet gesture of my genuinely great husband, I am having a hard time because he spent a lot of money (approximately 25% of our monhly budget) on something that I don't like or will likely be wearing often. Returning it is not an option, he got it overseas. I just said thank you, that was very sweet of you, but not sure if I should tell him the whole truth, given there is not much I can do about it.
