Thing with the budget is that it's joint finances, and Jody suggested that the way I talk about finances needs to be inline with the general message I'm trying to convey about the relationship. For the moment this is that I want us to be together, so I definitely wouldn't pull my stock money or anything. I do have another motive with the budget, and that's that he will see how expensive being apart actually is. I hope this doesn't sound manipulative. I am not going to call out any of those extra expenses. It is just up to him to see them for himself. The budget was created some time ago, so this is just an updated version.
I think you're right about the IMs. I don't feel the need to cut them out, as from time to time I get to make some progress on them, or so I feel. It is also the only contact we have at the moment, marriage by IM...
