A relatively small amount of money, but totally wasted anyway
My ex-wife liked shoes. Ok, that's not exactly headline news.

She bought a pair in a sale - some designer name apparently - for the bargain price of just £10. The only downside was that they were a kind of rusty orangey colour that didn't go with any piece of clothing that she owned. She actively saught out a blouse or a top of some kind that matched, but she never found one that matched the exact shade.

The shoes were never worn. I occasionally reminded her of this waste of money (only when provoked about my own spending habits of course) and she still maintained that they were a bargain, they were designer, etc etc.

Yes, but you never ever wore them, you silly bint. That, in my scientist's mind, produces a division by zero error.

Conversely, I spent a fortune buying her out of the house and my life, and I don't regret a penny of it.

Swings and roundabouts really.

i would have bought them too, and worn them with jeans. apparently your ex had the sense of a small terrier if she couldn't figure out the jeans angle. good on you.
