How is your relationship otherwise? Is there a risk of him feeling emasculated or looked down on if you get him this expensive gift? Will this make him want to repay you somehow even though it's not within his means? Maybe save the watch as a surprise for another time, where he's not expected to reciprocate a gift.
Wait till his birthday?
Define Bf. Is this early. Are you committed. Are you living together? I’d wait until birthday, too. Go watch the Micheal Scott white elephant gift episode if you want to know how it makes others feel. Nothing to do with emasculating.
Good catch. Don’t know why I thought BF. I still vote birthday.
Wait til his bday for sure. It might be awkward…
Vote for birthday too - unless you buy a matching one for yourself.
Would a CFO husband not buy his wife the gift she wants because she can’t afford an equally expensive gift for him?
It depends on the nature of the relationship and how you feel about family money and joint accounts. (He could buy you an expensive gift if he wanted to, because he has you to support him, right?)
I would ask myself if it was going to make him feel some type of way and if it would make him feel bad or less than, then I would try to match his spending. If it is your love language and it won't make him feel bad then I say go for it.
My hubby in same boat and we have a joint account so he can absolutely afford to buy me something nice 😆🤩😉 I will say over the years he’s returned nearly every nice gift I’ve got for him so I don’t bother any more and tell him not to as well. It takes the pleasure out of it. Just get what I want when I want it and same for him. You could do creative competitions cap gifts at $40 or $100 or whatever? That makes it fun!
