Hello, LandShark, and welcome to Psych Central!

Actually, I know more than one husband who has gone out and bought an expensive gift to try to get back in good standing with his wife. For example, one man went out and bought his wife a $300 dress he found out she had been admiring in a fancy store.

And another man often bought his wife expensive jewelry when they had a falling out. (Alas, this situation must have happened relatively often, or he really bought expensive jewelry, because he is now in prison for white-collar embezzling. )

My take on it is that he wasn't trying to bribe you, but rather he really just didn't know how to get back into your good graces, so he wanted to do something nice for you. I know the women I mentioned wore the things their husbands bought.

Of course, it is now your necklace, so you can do what you want with it. But if your husband finds out, then I think he might be hurt.
