Now you know how about 91.7581% (approximately) of men feel like this all the time.
And we're off-topic as well. Oh, bother...

Buying the latest Kindle, Kobo, Bokeen, Icarus, the iPad and the iPad Mini each and every year is a bit... uh... obsessive. I can fully understand that a spouse is against that.
I wouldn't care if my girlfriend buys some new $insert_stuff_here once in a while, but if she would buy a pair of shoes every WEEK, then it would become problematic.
To be honest, if prices are reasonable, and I/we can afford it, I expect to be able to buy the heck whatever I want, and when I want it. I'd allow a partner to do the same, obviously. You can be QUITE sure that I'm not going to come home and say: "Hi, honey! I've just bought myself a new car! It was on offer, for just €28995!"
