If she responds with anything other than shock, disbelief and disdain, she's either lying or is a psycho. Either way the relationship is doomed. If she responds correctly and is upset with you, well I'm guessing you are already seeing where this is going. These issues need to be dealt with BEFORE the invites go out!

we've each made sacrifices for each other, some more important than others, but we each recognize what was given up....
i kinda already made up my mind as to what I should/will be doing... in a way, by posting this thread, i just wanted to see what others responses were, based on their own experiences...
and so far, judging from the responses, it looks like i'm a very lucky person to have such a loving & considerate GF/fiancee
i will let you guys know what i decide to do in the end...

ok... wait wait....
i have another idea...
so... what if i turn the tables and lay on the guilt & still get what i want???
say, what if i leave some catalogs with Nav systems circled... especially the ones I want...
Now, if SHE GOT IT FOR ME, then i'm in the clear cause i didn't buy it, and she can't say I wasted money cause I didn't buy it... and it would obviously show if she loves ME enough to buy me something nice that I've wanted for long long time
hehe... you think that will work???

Danny, don't give the guilt cause then you're screwed. With women in relationships, only they're allowed to manipulate with guilt - you try to do it and there will be hell to pay (one reason I'm not in a relationship lol). Leaving the catalogs around is a good idea though. Don't make it too obvious though. Leave them in places you would actually read/leave them like the bathroom. :0) ;0)

I did it as a surprise for my fiancee, to show that i'm willing to sacrifice my toys for the greater good...
So, after the sale was completed, she goes: "I know how much you wanted a Nav, you didn't have to sell it." .... blah blah blah.... "Why don't you just buy it back or get yourself another one"
All while we have been encouraging each other to save money for the wedding. So... do you think this is a test or a trap??? Or should i just say, FINE, THEN I'M GETTING MYSELF A NEW SYSTEM....???
What ya'll think?

Don't be too obvious with your message. She might try to enlist the help of one of your friends. Make sure they know what you want.
good luck.

leaving catalogs & websites open in my office (at home) and already, shes asking if I want to buy another one...
so, i played it off and just said:
"yea, there is a Nav system I've been looking at, but, its ok, the wedding is more important at this point."
Lets see what develops outta this... but things are looking good... she always gets me whatever I been eying, she just needs an excuse to get it for me (bday/xmas/anniversary/etc...)
so... it looks like the up-n-up for me...

Believe it or not, she has changed a lot. We both have but we really didn't notice it until we were gathering old photos for my 14 year old daughter to use in a school project last year. As we were digging, we were rather shocked to see the changes. Our hair is shorter and darker, our skin is less tan, our faces more mature (a few wrinkles) and we are wearing less jewelry (I used to wear a pinky ring and an earring - it was the 80's after all!). We had a good laugh and agreed that we would dig them out again in 20 years!

she had bought me a buffer for my bday, but she didn't know which one i wanted, so, i ended up returning it... i was gonna get the PC buffer, but I think I'm gonna wait for the next Meguiars event to pick up a PC kit instead. to make a long story short, since I will be getting the buffer on my own, maybe she'll get the nav for me instead....

Change is inevitable... I look back at pictures 5-10 yrs ago, and I can't believe how I've changed... like you said, its good for a laugh sometimes.

ps This in no way is an indication that I understand my wife in any regard. We have been tyogether for over 6 yeards and I still don't have a clue of where she is coming from most of the time- that isn't to say I don't love her. Choose your fights and drive what you want! My 2 cents. ps My clk55 is in the process of adding many mods before it comes home. I will be posting pics by the end opf the week. (Maya rims, 19", bunch of paint outs, accessories, springs, etc.) Should be great!
