You were saying:
"I felt comfortable approaching DH because he told me a couple of days ago that he wasn't mad at me anymore. I think he was mainly upset about me hiding things from him, not the amount of money itself. So I figured I would just be honest with him and see what he said. "
Personally, I think this is really good news! It sounds like you two are coming to an understanding about the whole thing, and knowing that it's not just about money is helpful.
I can't help but wonder if it's you who feels funny about shopping, given that you went years and years without really buying yourself anything, and maybe your husband is picking up on this? I know it sounds kind of off-beat and out-there, but still - you didn't buy much of anything for yourself for years on end, and then you played catch-up in a short period of time, and I'm wondering if there's a possibility that you feel guilty about this and as a result, you might be giving off some "I feel weird about this" vibes, somehow?
Is this within the realm of possibility? That maybe your husband really doesn't mind all that much, but perhaps because you went so long without buying things for yourself that when you did decide to revamp everything, you felt a bit funny about it?
Is this possible? Is your husband only 'mad' because he's picking up on your own vibes about this being quite a bit different than the past few years?
How do you feel about your style and wardrobe transformation? As I said before, I think you have a great sense of style and I also think you look just fabulous.
In the meantime, there's been some talk and focus on what your husband thinks of these changes - but what do you think?
Do you feel confident and do you feel like you have your feet on the ground in terms of the changes you're making and the things you've been buying?
