Feeling upset. Husband knows I wanted a mulberry handbag at some point. I've mentioned it for the last 5 years along with a comment along the lines of I'm not expecting one this year as it's too expensive or but not this year as we cannot afford it. Spending that sort of money makes my eyes water at the moment. But it's something I i solve (complete luxury I know) and I don't want or need anything else really. I would rather our money goes on our bills and our two children. This year I suggested he give me a bit of money and I start to save to I can get one in a few years for my big birthday. I was thinking £50-100.
Anyway, Christmas Day I'm given 2 parcels. I was expecting maybe a bit of money to put in a savings account or even maybe him saying he had gone to the bother of setting up a savings account. But no. He bought himself a Canada goose coat over £1000 a couple of weeks ago and got a £200 voucher for the shop. So he has bought me a Vivienne Westwood bag which he put £50 to. I'd rather have that money to put into a savings pot for the bag I have wanted for years.
The other thing that hurts is that he and his business partner upgraded their iPhones last week. My second parcel was an se Apple Watch because his business partner got one of the contract so he did too. There has been no thought put into these and both a waste of money which I cannot return apparently. His business partner wanted the watch on the contract and my husband would miss out if he didn't get one too so that is my present and not something I want.
Feel like I'm sounding very ungrateful as both not cheap presents but he has basically used up a voucher on the bag, and got me something his business partner wanted so he didn't miss out of the business costs
