[quote=Anonymous]I wrote the long-winded response a couple above this one, and I'll just say that you can't sweat the small stuff in marriage if you want to stay both married and sane. Your husband's preferences to keep an old car because of trade in value or whatnot, those are small things that I would just accept. Being nitpicky about someone's logic or preferences just makes them feel attacked and it turns into a vicious cycle of resentment and recrimination. If you really want to spend more than $30k on your parents' car, then suggest cutting back on something else you spend money on. It will be a good faith effort to respect your husband's wishes but still find a way to get your parents a more expensive car. It may move him to bump up the budget a bit, but if not, then make good on your promise to get back to work or cut back your spa treatments or whatever.[/quote]
