I'm curious if anyone else is this way with their partner. One of you is very simple and the other very lavish and excessive when it comes to material things. I ask because my bf is very over the top with things and loves having big surround sound and the newest tv and PS3 etc... while I'm very simple. I had never even watched anything on an HD tv until we started dating. I can't tell the difference (even though I say I can because he tells me its impossible to not see a difference). I could go the rest of my life with my little honda civic and my little tv with no surround sound. All of his furniture has to be top notch whereas I buy cheap things because I know my cats will tear it up lol.

Anyone else in this situation? If so, how do you deal with it? Honestly, people spending a lot of money on things I consider not necessary is a turn off for me. So when he talks about all these things he wants it kind of grosses me out. But I know its just a difference in tastes. I just don't see the point.
