DH annoyed me last night. He got us into serious debt because of his outrageous spending. The last 1.6 yrs we have been paying things down and he's doing better. His shopping habit is starting to creep up again (not a lot but in the last 5mo). I see the new IPOD that looks like the IPHONE charging. He didn't mention he bought it. When he got home I asked him about it and he said yes I got it 3 wks ago and sold my old one. I told him why did he feel the need to hide that from me (he tells me about small purchases since I'm the one paying the bills and watching the budget). I told him if he was able to sell the old one, get the new one without having to spend money more power to him but I don't like the sneakiness. He got pissed that I was upset. I said why did you feel the need to hide it from me (this is a man that likes to show his new toys off). He said he wasn't hiding. I don't like liars and this annoyed me. I don't want to get into the same hole again with debt and am afraid he is starting all over again. Just venting [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

^^^that I was upset but I told him why did he feel the need to hide this from me (he likes to show off his new toys). He said he wasn't hiding it. I said you had it for 3-4 wks and I havent' seen or heard of it..that's hiding it. I'm just worried he's going to get into the same habit and we will be in deep debt again. He doesn't get my concern [ Reply | More

You have the right to be upset - he has a spending problem and probably knew you would be upset - which is why he didn't tell you. [ Reply | More

op: thank you and that was my point. I was happy to see he was able to get a new one without touching money in the bank ( I checked) but the fact he hid it from me because he had so little faith that I would understand a virtual free swap annoys me. I don't like things being hidden. Makes me feel like god knows what else is he hiding [ Reply | More

I totally see what you are talking about. I would try to let it go and see if he starts to want to spend more. Any way for him to have a cc and you not know? [ Reply | More

op: no he hasn't any cc that I don't know about. I get the bills and am in charge of paying them. He has been good lately (compared to how he was) but just the thought of these big purchases get me nervous [ Reply | More

I don't know how you'd be able to swap an ipod for an ipone without paying more money - but if he really was able to do that - then take a deep breath and cut him some slack. If he buys something again and doesn't tell you - then go bolistic... [ Reply | More

yes I thought the same thing about being able to swap it evenly but he may have been putting some money aside. I checked our 2 accts and no money was missing. He didn't charge anything on the one CC we have so all I could think is that he did sell it to someone who overpaid OR maybe he's been putting $20 away here and there to make up for the diff. Thanks for talking to me. I was so annoyed but feel better after being able to vent with you [ Reply | More
