[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be more concerned about how my DH felt about it. Is it emasculating he cannot buy you such things?[/quote]

The flip side is DH lacks ambition and drive, his parents provide all he needs or wants. That is bad.[/quote]

OP here.  My DH and I are recent college graduates and although we make ok money, DH is not in the position to buy me a Benz GLE class nor I wanted him to.  I have known my DH and SIL since middle school.  All three of us volunteered at the church food bank on weekends for almost five years.  SIL is my BFF even though we attended different schools.  Both of my SIL and DH attended expensive private schools while I attended public school on reduced lunch and raised by a single mom.

My FIL is a very wealthy but also a wonderful and generous person.  My FIL already paid for our wedding, honeymoon, let us stay at one of his condo properties rent free, and paid off my student loans.  I don't want him to feel that I am taking advantage of the situation.  I just don't think I need to drive the car that expensive.   I talked to both my DH and SIL about this and they said that's what I should expect from my FIL.  He loves their spouses like his own children.  My FIL will take care of the car insurance and maintenance too.  He wants DH and I to save money for a house down payment.

I am very grateful for everything that my FIL has done for me and DH but an expensive car is over the top for me.  Or maybe I am over analyzing the situation, accept the gift and be grateful that I have a FIL who loves me like his own children.[/quote]
