"can earn £35000 to £50000"? Can earn? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Commission?
This thread sucks - was expecting to read about his girlfriend accidentally trashing a bit of his equipment, not someone crying over not being able to buy whatever he wants in a relationship that involves a house.
Amen to that.
1) Posting your salary on the Internet serves to achieve nothing except make you look like a poseur.
2) As previously mentioned in this thread, grow a pair. Do you go nuts at your girlfriend every time she buys a pair of shoes (geez, if I did that I'd be permanently yelling).
3) At the end of the day, provided you both meet your fiduciary commitments i.e. mortgage then you should be both free to spend your spare cash on whatever the hell you want.
Threads like this are the bane of free bandwidth everywhere and should be exterminated post haste.
Ah, lunchtime rant over now off for a pleasant user-free afternoon. (I wish...)
