The only sterling silver thing I have gotten my gf was that bracelet. Everything else is white gold or platinum, including some of the tiffany & co.
BTW, We're both 18 and been together 2+ years now

My girl doesn't mind so much, she knows it makes me happy. The worst is when they try to tell you what would look best, I am in the process of getting some bronze wheels for my car and all she can say is "get something shinny and pretty, not ugly black and bronze"

+1, She lost all say on where the money goes since she has zero financial responsibility.

At 18, you should be spending all the money on yourself. Come on man, you're not gonna marry this girl (and if you're even entertaining that thought, you need to be smacked upside the head). And if she wants to break up with you just because you're not spending the money on her, SCREW her. There are plenty of other chicks out there. Seriously.

My wife gets jealous sometimes. But most of the time she just ignores it and knows that if she said no that I would leave her, .

At 18 you should be putting all your money into your education and saving up for the future. Geez....I just sounded like my father

I spend quite a bit on myself, but I like to spoil her as much I can as any guy likes to do for the lady they love. It's not all about the spending though, she's more mad about the time I spend going to meets and on this forum.

I am in school for a accelerated Pharmacy program and have a good job waiting for me when I get out of school.
I also have my own investments and I'm watching out for my future.

My wife just doesn't understand why I would want to buy something that is so expensive that doesn't need replaced. She thinks just having the Z is enough and that it doesn't need anything else.

You're 18, you don't need love right now. You just need a hole to stick it in. Enjoy yourself while you're young, trust me, you don't want to look back when you're older and regret not dating more women when you were younger. (Oh god, I feel so old....)

My wife is the Z owner in the family. 2007 Roadster. She keeps asking me when I'm going to buy her the Nismo exhaust. She also wants a spoiler. I just had a clear bra put on that she wanted (smart move) and put on a FairladyZ emblem for her.

I'm the one telling her to cool it.

My girlfriend is a sweetheart: she loves washing cars together, cruising, going to car meets I am fortunate to have landed someone like her! I am going to be getting an 07 here after I graduate, and she is all for it, saying she can't wait to have matching color cars in the driveway (she has an 07 Fiji Blue Civic Si ) Hasn't said a single negative remark about my car addiction yet! And, while I still sport my Prelude, she knows her Si is a bit faster, and ever since the break in period ended, she is always messing with me, trying to race haha

My ex girlfriend though if I even offered to drive my car, she would protest and remind me about every dime I spent on it that wasn't spent on her. Bird poop on the window, I go to wash it off, and I get the nth level about how **** I was about my car. She even went so far as to hide my tools God I hate(d) that girl, such a waste of my life! And, such a stark contrast between her and my current gf!!!

Being young, you are bound to have an evil relationship.. I am glad I am older and waited to make a wise choice this time around!

come to think of it, for my last bday, she bought me a JDM front grill for my IS.
love that girl.

Were both in high school so its not like a marriage or like 7 year thing, so she doesnt mind cause it's my thing, plus she rides horses which sadly to say, are double the price of my new Z..
