My story is opposite to yours;
My hu*****and wanted to buy me an expensive LV bag on my birthday and finally we bought a Chanel.
Well, the problem is I don't find any opportunity to use it and I never use it...It stays in my closet all the time..what a waste of money!!
I 'd rather buy 10 different bags for 10 different colors and styles with the same amount of money .
But that is just me. Good luck with educating your hu*****and and trying to change him.... it is going to take you a long.... time. It is just easier to change yourself.
