Not even joking here. If you can afford to own both go for it....don't use your wife as an excuse that only breeds resentment.
Lol, I definitely need permission. I'm also probably much lower on the socioeconomic scale than most here, and my wife's spending on herself is so little that I lament the fact that she doesn't seem to need to buy anything for herself.
On the other hand I have three bikes, and she won't let me sell my Allez for cheap to a friend.
Anyway, let's keep significant others out of it, we can the fun sucked out of things in other places.
