Ultimate online shopping therapy

So the header caught your attention, eagerly looking for a spot of retail therapy...

How do you identify, communicate and stop an habitual clothes shopper? Boden gives her shivers, 'we' own one of each colour of everything. Unworn, hidden in cupboards, wardrobes bulging, a garage full of boxes, boxes full of clothes.

How many thousands have to be spent each month on stuff one will not wear before reality hits?
Why can't she see we don't have holidays because she spends her salary and "never asks for anything" yet I pay for everything else?
Why is it always down to my unreasonable quest for money, to have something for the future and not just a house full of clothes?
Why do I become the bad one for paying significant sized credit card bills she runs up? At the same time she is selling some clothes and took 16,000 which I can only imagine went back into newer clothes!

Do I call it a day as she isn't getting this after 20 years?

We're just going to move this over to relationships for you.
