I feel that since this money has come to me and b/c I got hurt I should be able to spend this money how I want. but I am smart enough to realize that this puppy is a commitment and that he should be in agreement w/ me. Until then I am going to keep asking him its not fair that when he wants something weather its a projector for his game room or a new surround sound for the living room that I don't tell him we cant afford it, even though I know we cant, he still gets what he wants. and no those things are not living things but they can be just as expensive. |
To me, this changes everything. My husband and I were in a serious accident a year ago. Michael was hurt worse than me. He just received his settlement. I told him that he could use 1% of it for anything he wanted and then we'll invest the rest. It's been a hard year and he deserves to treat himself to something fun. I'm with you, sister. Your husband is not being fair in my book. I don't think you're in the wrong OR acting like a spoiled brat. I got Sydney because of our accident. She's been therapeutic. My therapist recommended a puppy, which is more work than a grown dog and helps me take my mind off of things.
