It is funny to read this going in the other direction. However as everyone is pointing out the cost of ownership is about zero and you've bought a classic combo. Congratulations!
My husband is going to kill me.....

My M5s need red dots!
To see a lady falling prey to the Leica lure... is quite refreshing. More when it involves a Summilux 35mm! Congratulations on your purchase! If your husband kills you, he doesn't deserve you. 😉
Bad jokes aside... I think most of the people in the world should have a Leica camera. If there's one machine that brings out people's true selves, that's it. You can tell who's the gearhead, the exhibitionist, the perfectionist, the practical and everything else in between.
And, of couse, go and start that thread. You will get A LOT of support!
Have a nice day!
PS. I hope you paid for a very fast shipping... When I ordered my first Leica I couldn't sleep well until the darn thing came. I was dumb enough not to ask for overnight delivery, even though the shipping was free! 😱 Oh, well...

Just some guy, you know?
Good trade; Manolos are very nice shoes. Seriously.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm male, speaking from the perspective of an admirer, not a wearer. But you never know with nice shoes.
Cheers,

Congratulations on the M6 and 35 Summicron, a great combination. Good luck selling the husband on the purchase.
I guess the next question, did hubby buy anything really neat recently? My brother has a standing agreement with his wife, he gets camera gear, she can indulge in her shoe/handbag habit.

I paid for overnight shipping... I figure if I was going to drop that kind of money I might as well get it ASAP. 🙂

You have to feel better after reading all these supporting posts. It looks like we are on your side; at least I am.

An M Leica and autonomy - throw in a little Tri-X, what more could anyone want? Enjoy the Leica.
Tell the other 1/2 you saved thousands of dollars by not starting on a track of trading up with purchases of Zorki's, Fed's, etc.

Tell the other half you really wanted a $10K Phase One digital back and a H1 Hasselblad.

if your husband's smart, he'll act mad and keep this in his back pocket as a "get out of jail free" card. 😉
