[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 262510, member: 6546"] Good Morning, All-- I love my husband very much, but I feel a HUGE fight coming on, and I'm not really sure the best way to handle it... A little background: Money is tight. VERY tight. And it has been for some time. We are still paying off medical bills from husband needing hospital treatment last summer. At any rate....husband has a "List"....a running list of all of the things that he wants and needs. Parts for the grill. Gym membership. Car stereo. Software. Lawn equipment. It goes on and on and on.... And if he gets an item on the list--his response is usually "[I]Great! Now all I need is {the next item on the list[/I]}...". At any rate--just last week we just spent $2300 we DON'T have to repair his car. We put it on a high-interest credit card and I have no idea how we are going to pay it off. It is causing me a great deal of worry. husband wants to simply forego paying the medical bills and instead put that money toward paying off the car repair. And, now that the car is fixed--is he satisfied? grateful? appreciative? happy? Nope! you guessed it....he is now whining about the next item on his "List" and he is very irritated at me because I have been saying "NO!!!". So clearly we are both very angry and frustrated at the other--and this could really blow up into something ugly... Any idea how I an handle this without heading for divorce court? Thanks --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
