[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Damn lots of judgment! My wife doesn't demand anything, but I know that gifts are important to her. She doesn't bug me about stuff I buy for myself, like[b] I just got a new $4k TV [/b]and she's fine with it. So yeah we can "afford" the bracelet but like anything in life [b]there are wants, needs and necessities[/b]. Anyway I took some advice and found a nice custom piece of wood art from Europe with a subject that she likes and ordered that. Cartier will have to wait until anniversary 10[/quote]
Wha? Your DW's love language is gifts (per your post). She wants a gift you can clearly afford it, and you recently spent a similar amount of money on something for yourself. Why on earth wouldn't you just get her what she wants?

Do you have some kind of "upping the ante" history? Like she would expect more expensive gifts YoY? DH bought me a $7K Chanel bag from the flagship shop in Paris where we went for our 10th anniversary. I've never expected or even wanted a gift that expensive since. But we don't usually do gifts by price (gifts are one of my love languages, BTW). I once bought DH an ice cream scoop for Christmas, because I knew it was the thing he wanted most. DH once wrapped up a can of Diet Coke for me (long story, but it was an amazing gift that year).

Anyway, if I were you I'd buy the bracelet. If there's a good reason for you not to do so, that probably indicates other problems in your relationship.[/quote]
