I was kind of bad yesterday-
As most of you know, my BF had to move out of his sister''s house since she got married. He found a nice condo and moved a couple of weeks ago, so the place is still a work in progress. There a bunch of errands he needed to run for stuff he needs to buy for the place. Also, in Boston, it was sales tax free weekend; anything under $2500 you didn''t have to pay sales tax.
He says, "There is stuff I need to get, but all the stores are going to jammed with people trying to save a few dollars."
Me: "Well, you need to get shelves and all that anyway, why not take advantage? Besides, you also had wanted to get a new stereo. You could save a bunch on it this weekend."
Him: "Yeah, I know. But I would probably spend forever waiting in line for a purchase that wasn''t that substantial enough to make a difference tax-wise."
Me: "I have an idea... there is substantial purchase we shop for... how about we go look at some stones?"
Him: Blank face.
Me: "Okay, I guess not."
Him: "Well I already said there was a place I wanted to go (where his sister''s ring is from) to get something made."
Me: "So let''s go there."
Him: "No, not today."
Here I am, trying to be the nice GF and save him some money. The rest of the day he was extra mushy since I was a bit annoyed that my idea was shot down without hesitation. Was it that bad of me to finally broach the topic of at least looking and learning, and being upset that he reacted almost like I was asking him to find Osama or something?
4 or 5 great steps forward the past few months, now one GIANT STEP BACK. grrrrrrrr Deep breaths, deep breaths...
