Thank you all for your replies. All great posts!

I guess I never did explain to her directly that I don’t need those luxuries to be happy. I just figured it’s obvious that I’m happy without them. I feel better about this now. You’ve helped me see that she’s just being concerned about me. I had always felt that it was my inability to impress her, but now I realize that isn’t it at all. She just wants to see me have the nice things I grew up with because she loves me.

Thank you again for wonderful advice!
