Plus: My wife ordered a pricey meal and said she wanted to see if I had a heart attack.
This was an extremely thoughtful thing to do. I can imagine that this gesture might have brought up a lot of feelings for the recipients, and I wonder, now that letter-writing seems to be on the decline, how future generations will chronicle their lives and long friendships.
Our most recent meal at a fine restaurant came about when the restaurant was offering a weekday promotion of a 10-ounce strip steak with side dish for $19.95, considerably less than the normal price. My wife worked as an accountant before we were married. I am semi-retired and manage our investments and shop for the family.
My basic take is that she is testing and teasing you. As much of an asset as your bargain hunting can be, this sort of hyperawareness of prices can also be annoying, especially when she’s trying to enjoy a night out.
