But I think what really gets me are decisions that have a heavy price tag and are urgently necessary. It might be like having a severe cut that is getting all over the place and reminding you exactly why you don't have nice things. You certainly don't want to get a massive bill by going to the emergency room, but then again you don't want to continue bleeding out either. The choice still needs to be made, and needs to be made urgently! <br/><br/>Now that I think about it, it may be a good idea to start looking at the automobile market to get an idea of just how much a car could cost us. Thanks for your comment, it has helped me give this a little more thought. @free from broke – I definitely agree, impulsive shopping equals a certain and painful death – of sorts.

I can shop but I like to take my time to make sure I'm getting a good product that I will use and will last. Certainly being an impulsive shopper is not a better way!

I think what makes it particularly hard is that I want to honor and please them, but I feel like I am doomed to get it wrong. The best I have been able to do with this type of person is to talk with them and try to get the clearest understanding I possibly can. It doesn't always work, but at least its something that sometimes works. @4life – Reading anyones mind can be an impossible task, especially when we have to do it with those that we love.

There are a few blessed men who can pull it off. I am not one of them. Unlike your wife, mine is extremely picky. "If you really loved me you would have known what I really wanted and got it..."
