Are you sharing the Acura/Honda or is it _your_ car? Because if it’s your car then it is forcing an opinion. If it’s shared it’s different because you both will use it. (Not to mention the price difference here)

Laptop is hers, for her, to be used by her, therefor it’s her choice not yours.

Advise and suggest, but recognize in the end people are allowed to make the personal choice they want even if you don’t like it or agree.

Interesting. Could you define "_your_ car". Marriage, in US anyway, is effectively a business partnership with default split of 50/50. My car is her car and vice versa.

I think I already have a response I needed, but now I am just exploring other avenues of this conversation.

Some couples share a car, others each have their car. One situation is very different then the other, and sharing 1 car between a couple is not even comparable to someone’s laptop - which is theirs.
