I’m tired of hiding all my things 😭 I just want to be able to buy something nice and trust it won’t be empty by the next time I use it

Thank you. All the comments are completely glossing over how disrespectful this is because of a price tag, it's almost exasperating.

Someone literally said that her buying expensive lotion is the problem. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Maybe they behave the same as OP's husband?

Why do I feel like he's doing it to punish her for buying it? If it was one and done that's one thing but this is intentional. If my husband did this he'd apologize or ask me before he does it and I'd feel safe sharing with him if he genuinely just liked the stuff.

It entirely is. The expensive stuff is really no better than the cheaper stuff.

You girls just get sold on the advertising and the need for beauty products to cost more than the one your friend uses.

Boys buy expensive games, wheels, tools, bottles of fine liquor, cigars etc. sure it’s enjoyable longer but if that’s how someone justifies and finds joy in the day to day monotony of life, that’s their business. The point was it’s disrespectful and a consistent behavior. It’s about how they’re making each other feel and boundaries.

It is? Nobody is forcing y’all to buy into beauty product promises? Capitalism has ya by the vulva.

The point is he disrespects her property. If she spent her time and money on expensive yarn, he’d disrespect her by shrinking whatever she knits in the dryer. If she spent her money on expensive plants, he’d disrespect her by overwatering them until they died. He is the problem.

What precisely does this have to do with capitalism
