"pushed in a cardboard box"!
You're going to have an early heart attack caused by stress.
Look, you can have a lot of fun doing household chores in a wig, bra, gater belt with stockings and high heels.
Your cheating yourself of the FUN aspect of being a CD because your SO isn't with the program.
Or, to put it another way, your SO is cheating you out of the FUN you SHOULD be having.
These are my thoughts: you're going to go to an early grave caused by stress.
If you HAVE to shop, at least go to consignment shops and thrift stores. Save your money whenever you can.
