She also trusts me to not buy a laptop unless I know we can afford it, and it's actually something I at least sort of need.
If I have to make that call, one of two things has happened:
1) I'm one of those dinks that spends all our money selfishly and leaves us in a rough financial spot where she maybe can't buy the things she wants/needs
2) I've married one of
those girls
I bought a car one day without talking to her. She knew I was looking to sell my old one and didn't really care what I got, and trusted us to not put us in financial ruin. In fact, she was pleasantly surprised when she found out it cost $1000 less than the one I sold.
I personally far prefer this model of working things to "having to have a talk" about every frigging purchase. Just don't be jerks to each other and it all works out, with your time, and with your money.
