LOL Now I'm not sure if it's a human thing or a husband thing!
Early in our marriage I noticed that if he wanted something (buy something) he would just buy it. If I wanted something there would be a discussion about whether I really needed it. :-} (We were both working and earning money so that seemed extra unfair to me!)
Somewhere along the line he picked up on the saying "Happy wife, happy life" (I don't think it was from me?) and decide it was a good saying.
We decided to set a budget, equal to us both, that allows us to buy things (within reason) with no discussion or explanation.
Of course he still makes comments that I have too many books, but that's just silly. =-0

LOL sounds so similar to us but he never got past the 'I want it I buy it' phase. It has changed to him telling me that. But then I do have too many books, coloring or artistic supplies LOL. Go to buy clothes..I can't do it LOL.
He does buy me more things, which can be nice. It seems he's kind of adopted the same philosophy. He's more willing to do things that I like than he used to.
Proof that humans (and husbands) can change!
It is a very good sign that he is becoming more generous over time. (Often it works the other way, which would be a bad sign!)
I'm sorry, I do not understand the concept of having 'too many' books - or 'too many' creative supplies! :-D
