My wife is cautiously supportive of my addiction, realizing full well that there are worse addictions (from her perspective out there).  Purchasing a pair of Santoni shoes may be a little more tolerable than purchasing the services of a whore, so I think she encourages it out of fear for the alternatives.

She certainly appreciates the fact that I must dress nicely for work, but I am irked when I wear a sportcoat to some neighborhood function or other and she accuses me of being over-dressed..
