This thread makes me sad. There is a better life out there pokhim, and I hope you find it one day.
Are you being sarcastic?
I knew a housewfie that fought with her husband by saying something like “Yea that’s right, I’m useless and wrong. so what?”
Oh, this little sentence has received such massive response already there is no real point in me adding to it. Speachless anyhow…
This is actually kind of weak and not really worth discussing at all. My household expenditures average $17,000 per MONTH for everyday expenses alone. So complaining about £15k of one-time expenses is a joke. Then again my income is likely multiples of the OP’s so it’s all relative I suppose.
Seriously. Pics or shens.
My wife and I went on quite a few trips our first two years of marriage but then we had a baby. You could try impregnating her and things will probably change quite a bit for you.
Ok ok… I was being a little sarcastic on the ‘turns out i was being a tw@t’ comment…I guess that since ya’ll Mericans and this being the internet you guys double struggle with sarcasm.
The Mrs earns good money, can cook and she cleans. Together we’re top 2% income wise, we own a couple of houses and go out to a lot of nice places.
My update was purely to say we made up and stopped arguing about the petty things.
Thanks
^…ummmm…what “petty things” are those? The fact you can’t support your lifestyle and she’s bankrupting you?
Nah, she got out of that one too. She said getting married was the right thing at the time. I once got her to confess that something she did was “thoughtless.” That was a big success.
Long story. Let’s just say that I put up with a lot of awful things, mostly because we had a young daughter and I didn’t want her world to break apart. But in the end, it had to be done. And going back to the original theme of the thread, money issues were irrelevant to our divorce.
While everyone’s head spins on the twat comment… She’s only going to chill on the spending for the next 4-months? She’s literally buying time before the next big binge, make sure you address next year’s financial plan sooner rather than later otherwise you’re going to be updating this thread this time next year with the same complaints. Don’t kick the can to next year!
Never back down from your principals, marriage is worthless when one breaks theirs for the other - permantely or temporarily.
ALERT! ALERT!
A BSD has entered the thread.
That’s right! One time my principal made me stop writing on the walls with crayons. I had to smack a ho.
BOTH of you need to make sacrifices and if one or both is not williing to do so, then it’s not going to bode well.
Tell her your position and let her understand that you want to make it work.
