Well we were at Home Depot last night and the snowblower issue came up again. I told my husband, "Who is the one that dug us out of the last snow?" I did! No snowblower came home with us! Besides, there is no better exercise than digging snow, is there?

I'm the one who's tight on the purse strings, and when my husband is told "no" for something, his answer ALWAYS is "if we can't afford that, then I'm not working hard enough!" He works for salary plus commission, so he takes it personally, like I'm saying he's not doing a good job.

SOOOO....it's always a lose-lose for me, he gets mad AND personally insulted at the same time...

and...he either 1) Buys it out of spite, or 2) Doesn't and resents me for it.

Good luck! When you find the perfect solution, please let me know!!!!!!
