One of the biggest problems with my wife and my GAS is that it completely destroys all of my leverage over her spending excesses.
As long as she knows these big boxes are arriving at our door, I cannot say a word about anything she buys. To attempt to chastise her or ask if she really needs that (fill-in-the-blank), invites amplified wrath and a higher level of scrutiny.
GAS also ramps up the wife's expectations for gifts on (fill-in-the-blank).
I have found no solution to this dynamic....
