   I don't believe that's even remotely possible.  When person #1 tells 
person #2 "I don't like that, so I don't want you to have it" or "I'm 
not interested in that, so you can't be either" has everything to do 
with person #1 not respecting person #2 and wanting to control their 
life.  I simply cannot conceive of any situation, anywhere, with anyone, 
in which such an attitude would be reasonable and I myself would never 
tolerate it for so much as a single moment.  I've ended relationships 
over it, and would do so again immediately if faced with that situation.

    Lots of people think it is reasonable, though.  And they're deluding 
themselves.  They start thinking stuff like "Well, she's right, I guess 
I really don't need this" and crap like that.  They're lying to 
themselves.  If you WANT to have this or that, or if you WANT to do this 
or that, that's enough of a reason.  There are no do-overs in life; 
there will be no other opportunity.

   The basic idea is don't allow yourself to get walked on.  By your 
spouse or life in general.

   It doesn't have to be about "affording" it.  There are always ways to 
get around that, but most people are unwilling to think outside the box 
and take risks, and are too busy doing what they're "supposed" to do. 
Having tons of money is certainly an easy way to get it done, but it's 
far from the only way.
