When you are no longer ordinary

My husband and I have been discussing the purchase of a new car.  With the thought of possibly adding to our family and carseats and so forth, we need somewhat of a sport utility.  I have suggested a few that come with an average price tag of 35K and he immediately shootd me down.  Yes times are definitely tough, however, I work my butt off and if I could save up seperately for the down payment then I can get what I want right? Wrong!  he feel that I should not be driving a Lexus because I am not in that category yet, well, I am sorry I was not aware of the different categories of cars.  So depending on where you are in life that is what you should buy?  I think that is a crock of crap, if I want to blow my money on a car payment, that is my right, it’s not like we’re going hungry.  So he calls me today and we get into this argument, he tells me he is having a bad day at work and that he is not happy and that maybe he should take up drinking because he is married to me.  I proceed to tell him that the door is wide open and that he is free to seek happiness elsewhere.  Isn’t that what a good wife should do?  I am not holding anyone back if they are not happy, why? What is the point, so I told him to find an ordinary woman who aims low, so he can feel superior and happy because she won’t want anything.  I think this is deeper than wanting a certain car, I can’t change who I am, but one thing is for sure, I am not ordinary.
