Because it was expensive and it goes against his pride to pay so much money for something he can do himself. Maybe he cared a lot about his self-image as a self-sufficient most-definitely-not-a-spoiled-rich person.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoI'd suggest that's a massive stretch considering the lack of details about the husband's attitude towards money in the article. The only relevant information was him finding one particular quote too high. I don't think you can extrapolate a pattern of behaviour from that single data point.
- saint_fiasco 9y agoThroughout the whole article, the author gives the impression that her husband is a stereotypical man. According to stereotypes, typical men don't want to call "the guy" to repair things when they break, especially when it costs a lot of money. To be honest, the author's culture is alien to me and I only have stereotypes (TV and movies, mostly) to go on.

In the article she mentions that she controls the budget, so it was probably over the budget he had to work with.
