Bakhil of course) whenever I ask him for something. <BR/><BR/>But he has been pretty generous to me, what with my laptop and my "Valentine's gift" which I have yet to post about. *blush* <BR/><BR/>However, when it comes to him.. exactly like you. That's why 90% of his clothes are the ones that I bought. And the other 10% was his clothes that he bought before we got married.
