But, obviously for what ever reason, you have come into a sum of money and you want to use this money to pay for a dog. He obviously has other ideas for this money. You feel since you were the one injured it is your money??? How would you feel if the shoe were on the other foot? This opens the door for many future arguments over money. Do you share your bills mutually, or other income mutually? If so, then the way this money is spent, even if it was you that got injured (sorry about that btw) should be decided upon mutually or there will be resentments for a long time to come. Ok, you wanted honesty, and I speak from experience. Work out your real issues first. |
this money isnt a large amount, it its however money we would not have had if not for the accident, him and I have very different views on how money should be spent. he has asked me if we could get things I have never in the 8yrs that we have been together and the 3 that we have been married told him no. he has always complained about how I always get the things I want, my dad would send me money sometimes to buy stuff. He sent me $1,200 for a camera that I wanted to start my photography busness, my husband didnt want me to get the camera, this was my birthday present btw, he got upset b/c I bought my camera. he got over it, but that money that was sent to me was spacifficaly for that. he ALWAYS says that he never gets what he wants, he has gotten his 61" hd tv, his projector, he will be getting a screen for it soon. I don't ever tell him no, or disagree w/ him on things. He told me no I couldnt get a Coach purse, so when I got my retirement money from my old job I bought me my coach purse AND his projector, I usually end up getting him what he wants...
