Any thoughts on where I can find information on what are acceptable gifts for a husband to buy for another woman?
I don't believe that my husband is cheating on me. He is, however, drawn to buying expensive gifts for people - mostly women. What tipped the scale with me is that he purchased $350 concert tix for the woman who cuts his hair. She's also married.
What floors me is not only the price, but the fact that this woman accepted the gift. I don't know what what to do really.
I had one thought. That is to go to her, ask her to pay for the tix (with my husband present). How is that?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

We did talk about it. I'm not happy. He doesn't understand my problem with the whole thing. To me, it's just the principle. And I KNOW he wouldn't like it if I accepted a gift from another man...
We did talk about it. Had to put it on hold because we have house guests for 2 wks. I plan on resolving this this weekend.

Yes. He does spoil me. More than the other women - THANK GOD!
He's done this before. So... What is a girl to do? I've warned him...

Much to my surprise, the women of YA have not gotten very hot and heavy with all the "train your man" bullsh*t. Maybe there is hope for people, after all.
I guess it is possible that he is just a nice guy and likes to buy gifts for people, and he doesn't take time to notice that it is tacky to buy such expensive gifts for other women--especially since he is married. Some other answerers have suggested that he is definitely cheating, etc., and really, I guess that is a possibility. But they do not know you, and mainly, they do not know your husband. They cannot know his character, and they certainly cannot judge your marriage based on just this.
As for advice, I think sitting down and having a talk with him is the best start. If you can't do that, then there are other problems as well.

Something is definately up there lol. Dang i dont know any woman who is married that would accept a gift like that from a guy that she isnt at least related to. And you husband really needs a good talking to, i'd have a problem with him buying gifts for random women. Especially expensive ones

Don't bother seeing her, it's your husband you need to deal with. Explain to him how you feel about him buying expensive gifts for other people especially women. If he thinks that you're being petty about the whole thing and says that he wouldn't mind if you got pressies from other men, then he's most probably lying!!
I would get a friend to send me some flowers or whatever, then see what really happens.

If my husband knew I accepted a gift from another man he would punch his lights out. That's just not right. And you should talk to you husband first about this before doing anything cause it could lead to a problem. Open communication in marriage is the key...even if you don't like what he's doing. It would cause a bigger problem if you went to the woman and didn't talk to your husband about this problem.

And your marriage is still intact ? I would kick him to the curb. Buying concert tickets for another woman . Boy that really takes the cake . If my husband did that I would kick his butt to the curb real quick. You need to have a serious talk with your husband he has violated your trust and tell him if it goes on then you will be talking to a divorce lawyer. And he will not have any money to buy a piece of bubble gum. and if he thinks your kidding tell him to try you. c'mon girl you gotta get tuff your husband is disrespecting you big time.

Unless she asked for him to purchase them for her and he expected payment, then it would be very unclassy of you to ask her for payment. VERY classless in fact.
Your husband has issues...he needs counseling because what he's trying to do is buy friendship from people. He might be a very good man, great husband and father but something inside of him feels weak and feels like he needs to prove himself.
I say give him a warning, and encourage him to seek counseling - his behavior is NOT normal. I really wish you the best of luck
