My go to when getting the WTF for buying something , was to get all dejected looking .
When she asked what's the matter I would say . " I was gonna get 2 , but only got one because I thought of you "
Years ago I wanted a new shotgun . Figured I better say something . So she said ( after a pause )
I'll run up to the bank and get the money .
Got the gun , 2 days later I come home from work . Sit down at the table , and get hit with a blinding ray of light .
Took a second to realize it was coming from the new diamond ring on her finger .
That's OK . She worked everyday , and like you say never complained about what I bought .
Bills and kids always came first .
