My ex-wife was addicted to shopping. Luckily she barely controlled so we didn't not get financially ruined. But it was a source of many fights and anxiety. Now I only date women who can manage their own money. I did ask for a divorce, but her shopping habits were not the main reason. She would buy $500 worth of clothes on sale and say "Look honey! I saved us $100!"
Um, yeah, but you spent $500 to "save" $100. That is a net loss of $500 for something that no one can use but her. I was not opposed to her shopping, I was opposed to her excess.
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
