I have a question for you ladies -
Let's say you're a guy, and you're planning to surprise a proposal. Meaning, she knows that you are headed in that direction and that you are going to propose - but she doesn't know if it will come this year or next year.
With that said, you just spent a healthy amount of money on a ring, and she does not know that. She brings up how she wants to go on vacation/etc this summer, and you cite the fact that you've already been away once this year - but in reality you are concealing the real reason why you don't want to spend anymore money.
I am somewhat starting to wonder if I have to spill the beans, because she is growing frustrated with my reluctance to spend money lately. This includes other things which I have reduced somewhat due to this expense (less dinners out, etc). I think as we move towards the next step, we are going to have to reduce those things anyway for other things, so I don't really see reducing our spending as a bad thing. It's just a matter of selling it.
