My family raised me to hate snakes. 8 years ago my husband wanted a snake. I wasn't sure, but he's his own man and promised to take care of it *shrug* he's an adult. If it didn't affect me, why would i say no? That would be awfully selfish of me. We went to a reptile show and got a baby ball. I LOVED her. Now I am the one obsessed with snakes!
Point is...not only did it turn out that I enjoyed the animal, but I found my passion. That wouldn't have happened if I had been selfish.
I'd talk to your wife about give and take. Compromise, and selfishness. Not to mention, who is the breadwinner? Most families live off the men's salary. I think you should be able to spend your money how you wish, within reason. Unless you often break promises, she should trust you to deal with it all and enjoy it without it affecting her.
