[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, curious how many luxury handbags you own and how much you spend on Botox/hair/nails/clothes. [/quote]

OP here. The only “self care” thing I spend money on is getting my roots touched up every 2 weeks. Other than that - no Botox, no nails, no fancy clothes or bags, etc.

I’ve never had a massage. I’ve never even had a pedicure. I shop at Target, Old Navy, Athleta, LL Bean, etc. I’m a teacher and drive a Subaru so I am not exactly a high maintenance person, lol. Before I got this car, I drove my last one for over 10 years by choice. My H is always wanting to upgrade his car though to something newer and fancier. He makes over 10x what I do though so it’s not something I really feel like I can say a hard no to. Mostly I just push it off.

As for this Porsche, I’d prefer for him to save the money for our kids. But he grumbles about that already because they’re all involved in expensive travel sports. I don’t think he understands how tough life is for young adults nowadays though. It’s not enough just to pay for college. They will also need money for graduate school, help with rent, help with a down payment, etc.[/quote]

Are you trying to get him to divorce you, but just being low-key about it?  If so, you are really ticking all the boxes.

Think you are "low-maintenance" all you want, but harping on your 10x-earning husband about this ALL THE WHILE enjoying the lifestyle that comes from him is...either crazy or strategic.  I guarantee you have a gorgeous house that you couldn't dream of on your teacher's salary.  Be grateful to him and excited FOR him.

Also, it probably wouldn't kill you to get your nails done and dress a little nicer.  He would appreciate it, guaranteed.[/quote]

OP, you are lucky the only thing he is trying to upgrade is his car. [/quote]

This. You should go out and buy yourself some attractive clothes AND let him buy the Porsche before he looks elsewhere [/quote]
