Getting into the Lions den? Too true - I've taken some shit, but don't forget my friend, I can give it ! With grace? I hope so .
I am sure it is not hard to see where I'm coming from . Lets see if the boot was on the other foot. What would I do to your clothing that would make you embarrased? You tell me/ What would be your worst nightmare be , out with friends in your best clothes ? I'm having trouble thinking about it ?
I do like your thoughts about changing the "light bulb" , and my reactions . Good thought my friend. But don't forget, it may take two people top change a light bulb, especially if it involved two males !
As regards me and my husbands light bulbs, it is a taboo subject . He f**ks my coats, I hate it !!!!
With other respects, he is a most generous man for which I love him dearly. Not just because of the money aspect ! But because of everything he does in life. Just the coat stuff is crap ! I suspect, we will never sort it !
Buy a coat myself? The last time I did that was before we were married. We had only been married two months when I wanted a suede coat; a choice of two; I wanted both but could not afford both; guess what? he bought both, and I never gave it a thought.

Let me say that I like you too and have from when you started posting. You have entered the lions den and done so with dignity and grace - that certainly gets my respect.
It's not particularly hard to understand where you are coming from. I'd say it was manifestly self-obvious. But I guess I always do try to give people a different perspective if I think it might help them or help them find another perspective that does. A change of perspective is a light bulb experience - it changes how you react to things, like chalk and cheese at times. So I am hoping that you or your husband or both of you can have a change of perspective that makes it all ok re winter coats.
Your husband sounds a generous man. Not just coats but lingerie and jewellery. I am wondering what would occur if you bought a coat yourself?? As I said in a previous post if my gf had a bad satin tie habit and persistently stained the ties she bought me, then maybe I would buy my own ties and hope she would respect that.
