A friend of mine receives a Louis Vuitton bag from his husband. I am not sure if she was lucky to have a bag like this because they have so many debts. Husband purchase it through credit card. When I told my dismay to my husband, he told me that I might just be jealous. I internalize what he said & told him that I am not because I am contented with the flowers he gave me. I am just worry for my friend & her family. If I were her, I would just return the bag to the store. Am I wrong to feel this way for my friend? I haven't talk about this to my friend because she was too busy uploading photos of her new bag on facebook & every girlfriends that we have has been really posting positive comments and liking the photos. Please share your thoughts on this.

I would just leave them alone since they are responsible for their own actions . It doesn't concern you so just let it be and let them sort out their own problems. They are mature enough to figure out what is good for them. Anyways, it is nice of you to be concerned about them but it is better to let them solve their own problems...

Oh she might just be bragging about it and it might not be authentic! or maybe they can still pay for it? I mean it is their lives, let them be. Maybe if it is something that made her happy - let her be and the consequences are theirs to handle. Maybe the hubby knows it will make her happy so he go for it.
To each his own.

It is a genuine LV bag. The husband bought it in the LV Store. It has the Certificate with it :) Anyway, you are right - it's not really my problem. I just want to share my friend's story. So, What did you get this valentine's day? Do you celebrate it with your love one?

When you get a gift from a lovely person you don't need to put the question " it's this expensive " you don't need that on the second day search the gift to see his value. A gift from Valentines Day is something from heart, something with love , something from your soul, you don't think that the proces : buy a gift and give it to someone is pretty simple ? I will apreciate a gift that is made by the person have been sended, i mean, the gift that you make have a more value in love then in money.
If you relationship is all about the money then i understand , but that is not love, that is fake love that don't have any future.
For Valentines Day i have received a pretty nice gift, to use it for my life.
I have give her a simple ceramic sculpture with a red heart, and i have write a letter for her,declaration of love. He was very happy !
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY in this world...:(

i got 18 roses for Valentines day so i was happy. is an expensive gift like that really worth the worry? hubby and i havent used credit cards for several years so we are always watching our money and saving for things we really need (and for the odd treat!) i would rather buy a purse from a thrift store than go into debt just to have the latest style.

on valentine's day ,i just got romantic words from my lover but i feel happy because i know that to express love to our lover not always give something that is very quite expensive but just only expressed by words and our sacrifice.

WOW! How thoughtful of her husband to buy an LV bag for her on Valentine's Day though it was courtesy of his credit card. She must have been yearning for it for years that her husband had yielded it to her no matter what...and your husband is also right when he said that your are just jealous of her, because unconsciously you are envious because it is a fact that a signature bag is any woman's weakness.
I also understand how you are concerned to your friend's economic status yet you can't just tell it to her or you will only be misunderstood and I am afraid that will only ensue some friction on your friendship. Just let them be and later they would realized it themselves.
I had only a long distance call from my hubby early in the morning last Valentine's Day yet I am already happy about it. What matters most is he is thoughtful enough for him to greet me on that special day.
