My Husband Might Be Materialistic
This post is mainly for the guys out there. I got my first Guy Feedback that I am mean and materialistic! You are probably saying it in a joking way, as in “you’re so mean” being sarcastic code for “you’re sooooo tolerant and nice based on what I read on your blog.” If you ARE serious, though, you should enjoy this post. (And ladies, I already know you will because it’s about men and how they are about their cars.)
Well, I guess I am kind of mean sometimes…but more on that later. However, being materialistic is definitely NOT one of my (numerous) vices. In fact, like many women, I get nice stuff for everyone except myself. AWWWW, did I make that sound sad? Because it’s not at all sad. In fact, I LOVE it. I refuse to get myself stuff, and I brag about it. I like old stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I look nice in public–hair fixed, makeup on, etc–BUT I prefer old stuff for most situations. Also, I don’t have lots of stuff! As little as possible. Sometimes I get dirty looks from people who think my used furniture is strange or that my crashed up car is ugly. Guess what. I don’t care because I save money, and I enjoy it.
My husband, on the other hand, is somewhat materialistic. He’s not horrible about it BUT he has two huge things–his car and a gargantuous TV he forced me to buy. (By “forced,” I mean that these expensive things cut through the essence of my soul. Yet, he kept lecturing me for weeks about why he really “needed” each one. And I am way too busy for lectures, plus they annoyed me and put me in a bad mood, so finally, I gave in).
Again, this post is for guys. I know exactly what will sway you–pictures of cars. Now, look at the photo of my crashed up 7 year old car on top and my husband’s nice new BMW on the bottom. Then go ahead and tell me: Who’s materialistic now?
