    I confess, I'm dying to know what 'it' was. Is it something that might have sold out? Was it a particularly good price at the time? Id it seasonal and you can get more use out of it in the current weather? Don't leave us in suspense!

    ....or we'll start guessing!

    My money's on a sex swing.

    No reason we can't both be right! A raunchy caravan* with a built in sex swing to help pass those long, wet (no pun intended...) British summer evenings? :rotfl:

    *I just had an amazing business idea

    Is that because you already have the swing?
  • Something that strikes me is that you 'both' agreed to wait however it seems your OH bought it. Therefore he paid for it and so long as he's able to pay his share of bills etc I don't see the issue.

    Coming from someone who's just bought a 4 foot tall antique Rococo mirror after DH stated we didn't 'need' it, I'm in no position to comment.

    I have to clarify that it was a silly bargain and we won't go hungry....:o

    Questions...

    Does he regularly ask you for your opinion and discuss it, then ignore the result?

    Your posts are peppered with :D faces. Do you mean them?

    Did your attitude in the 'talk' say 'I'm being sensible by saying wait, but actually I really, really want it and would love to get it'?

    How's your relationship generally?

    Did it come out of his money or was it joint?

    The answers to those questions will all shape how you respond. But I suggest you just ask him why he did it and take it from there. If it was because he felt you'd love it, give him a hug but tell him not to bother wasting his breath and yours by having a talk in future, just ask you whether you want it. If he's ignored what you said because he wanted it, tell him to play straight in future and say so.

    You don't need to be aggressive, in fact you shouldn't be, but I think it's a good idea to communicate rather than just letting it go.

    Answers- yes we talk about it and no he doesn't really go ahead and ignore it anyway-usually:D

    Joint account this am

    :Dyes I meant them:D

    No we could do with it but either or not bothered, life would continue just fine without it:D

    Generally? Chatty wise/discuss purchases wise/ fine
