She smiled victoriously as she left, shutting the door just a little harder than normal. He slumped in his chair, burying his head in his hands. Off she went, to spend more money, even though they'd just spent the last two hours arguing over how she was spending too much money. Why did she always think that he was just trying to shut down her passions? Couldn't she realize that her hobby was causing financial strain on them? He just wanted her to exercise a little more restraint. That was all. Give them the opportunity to do something else for once. Go out to a nice restaurant, spend the weekend in a condo, or at least give him a weekend fishing trip every now and then. But no. It was never that. She never wanted to 'do' anything. She only was obsessed with the appearance of their home, the aesthetic, how their lives were portrayed to those around them. Why couldn't she see that money wasn't everything? Why couldn't she see that she could be happy with what she had? He slumped further down. Why...why couldn't she just be happy that she had him...not happy that he had money?
