This is a "fine-line" kind of question and we older farts should try to
remember
that we all hang on every whim of an S.O. especially in the beginning -
then its
that we'll do anything to please her - later on its for a quiet life and
even later
its sheer terror!
If it's the difference between eating and not eating then its a no
brainer but
i know from bitter experience the regret one can experience from giving
up
something thinking that one is "moving on" to something better.
Hey - if money is tight - stick it in a corner and forget it for a while-
any S.O. worth
his or her salt wouldn't insist on its disposal just as a control
issue.........
