Coinflict

Created by: Nosila

But when she bought a lousy pair of shoes she badly needed or new shampoo, he railed at the expense. She was tired of the false economics...she scrimped on groceries, just so he could go out and buy a bigger toy! There was nothing wrong with the 4 other TV's they already had! "Next time", she vowed, "I am going to marry a man with a lot more cents!"
