Yes I'll celebrate 40 years of ridiculous spending soon. She generally avoids high ticket items but that's almost worse. So much junk - and with the kids grown we're in downsizing mode. This should be interesting....
Marie Kondo is your friend.
So your wife splashes all her cash on you. Why complain!
Well, she told me that you once tried to spend your food stamps on edible underwear.
She bought you boomer.
Some people use something called a budget. You should give it a shot. However, I have a lot of friends that have the same problem you do. I'm not sure why it's hard to talk about. My friend's wife expects him to buy her a $70k car. She doesn't have a job. I told him there was an easy solution to this problem.
and I'm okay with that

Same here. She doesn't care about big ticket items but regularly wastes $$$ on s@#$ at places like HomeGoods. I swear that she consumes 80% of our household expenses on stuff that we don't need and/or stuff for herself. I used to try to get her to limit it, but gave up after a few years.
Shoot. My wife does this. I was thinking it was just a phase as we just purchased a house together. Does it never stop?

Well you spent $250 on running shoes and you still didn't win the turkey trot!
Lots of guys. You are not alone my friend. I’d say at least a third and more likely half of women in US have this affliction. Hopefully you realized this before marrying and there are positives in the relationship that outweigh this negative.
Get separate bank accounts and give her an allowance.
I suspect that you're a Bernie supporter based on your lack of balls and/or ovaries.
When your wife buys me clothes and expensive watches that's pretty cool.

This is too easy. Convince her that by buying frivolous crap you'll never be able to afford to buy her the most expensive stuff she wants (new Mercedes, vacations with the kids, adopting an East African runner who you move in to secretly become your wife's lover in a psuedo-cuckold relationship) and then take the marginal savings from this and consistently move it into a separate account while you wait for your wife and lover to abandon you.

Just you I'm afraid.
You can’t afford your wife’s lifestyle. Time to get a better paying job, or she’s gonna find someone else who can better support her.
Or find a cheaper wife who’s ok with shopping at a Dollar General.
It's called life, brah. You can either get used to it or keep being bothered by it. The choice is yours.
