Say what? 😉

I want to say WWYBYWB, but you registered in 2002. Yet you are called "newnameman"...

$100 concert tickets? I'm glad I listen to punk.

Payback will be AC/DC tickets that will run me over $200 after stupid service fees

I have to say, that based solely on your OP, I have zero respect for you or your g/f. I don't care if you two marry, you seem strangely suited for one another, just please don't breed.

You are not going to like what I have to say. She is not going to change concerning these matters. She does not understand financial responsibility and it is not going to get better once you are married. You might have talks with her and she will say and act like she understands and agrees but she will simply revert to her natural ways. Ask and old man how he knows of what he speaks. I have seen this happen not only with my past relationships but with friends' of mine. If you can deal with a lifelong battle over such issues then marry her by all means, if you can't then quite frankly you should go your own way.

I don't see how this is OP's fault.

Sure he could have handled the aftermath of her buying the joystick differently. Root problem? Her.

OP, also sounds like you handled it poorly. You should have happily accepted the gift, then the next day had a seemingly unrelated money talk. And wtf on the tickets?

F these hippies, OP. You and your fiancee sound perfect for each other. You didn't handle anything poorly and your solution is not only brilliant but will probably bring you and your couple closer together (into financial debt).

But seriously. Boo-hoo. You made her cry. Meh, who gives a shit? They cry all the time. Did you Chris Brown her ass or did she jab a hot iron into your unguarded ballsack? No - then you guys survived, welcome to marriage. This isn't the be all end all of all things. Just because she wonks out and buy you a $150 stick when you said no, it's not her prime MO. Women do batshit insane things across the gamut. It's called having too many X chromosomes. I know these things, I read a book once about it... or at least a well constructed flip-book.

So now she's spends X and you spend an additional Y. I mean, unless X+Y = going to being homeless and having to scrape money via bumfights -- then suck this shit up. You'll have tons of more fights where you'll wish you got a god damn SF Controller and a concert out of it. Sit back and relax. Money comes, money goes. If she's good in the sack or at least gives good head -- well I guess you could have just rented a hooker for cheaper, but your parents will be prouder this way!

If you really want to straighten both of your irrational selves out - take time and build a budget /together/. It's not as hard as it sounds if you're just starting out. Understanding where your money is coming from and more importantly, how retarded you both are ultimately being with said funds is pretty helpful in diagnosing your own special brand of disease. Set up an account for essentials (bills, food, gas, strip-clubs) and an account for anything the fuck else. Be strict. Not like, my therapist suggested this shit strict.. but like Maury sends those brat-ass kids to boot-camp strict. You'll both continual f up as you move along - just make sure you keep moving along and refine. If you were perfect people, you would have never come to ATOT in the first place.

The pair of you are arguing over a couple hundred dollars, if that.
Why bother?

If you're arguing over the relatively useless spending of $150, then don't bother trying to buy a house because you can't afford it.

This argument isn't about money at all.

As much as I love my fiancee, I sometimes wonder about her logic on how she thinks. While I'm at work, we end up having the following conversation via our Blackberries:

Sara: Want a limited edition Street Fighter IV fight stick?
Me: No money.
Sara: Okay, just wanted to double check.
Me: How much?
Sara: $150
Me: No way! I love the gamepad you got me.
Sara: You wouldn't want to use a fight stick?
Me: Not for $150.

So we end the conversation with me thinking that she understands that I can't justify the cost of what it is. For some odd reason though, I get the weird feeling as if she was plotting to buy it regardless. It also seemed odd that she wanted to come over after closing at work tonight when normally she just goes home to relax.

Fast forward to two hours ago. Sara comes over and is leaning off to the side as I open up the front door. No sooner than when she takes a step forward, I see a huge bag containing the Street Fighter IV fight stick. I try to reason with her in taking it back, but it turns to her crying. In all honesty, we shouldn't be wasting any money with us in search of buying a house right now. This I end up telling her, but she still does not want to budge.

I finally tell her that if she wants to spend money on me, return the fight stick and make a donation to the Susan G Komen foundation that we participate in every year. This results in not working the way I expected since she still refused to take back the flight stick. I resort to caving in and telling her that the only way I'll accept it is if there are no more frivolous spending from this point on. She agrees on this and decides to be happy again.

The bad part about it all is usually she's the super grounded one who's always saving money like crazy. Me on the other hand, I'm more likely to buy something that she's had her eye on that wouldn't normally be bought or if I see something for myself. So I've decided to try and get AC/DC tickets that go on sale tomorrow. Payback is a bitch when tickets are $92.50 each.

CLIFFS:
Fiancee asks if I want a SFIV LE fight stick
I say it's not worth it
Fiancee buys anyways
I tell fiancee to return it and she refuses
Argue over the fight stick for an hour while she cries
Finally accept fight stick
Payback will be AC/DC tickets that will run me over $200 after stupid service fees

For this I will have to bitchslap yo ass in Street Fighta yo cause I'm down right fierce 😎
