Took the kids to the movies and tried to pay using my credit card. It was declined.
So humiliating but, hey, I'm used to it by now!
H is still in control of paying all of our bills - and obviously had not paid my credit card, so they had frozen it.
This despite his recent lengthy explanations that he had automated direct debit payments to my credit cards to ensure that just this situation didn't keep happening.
I texted him to say that the card was declined and "Could we fix?"
An hour or so later he texted back saying "It should be OK now".
Ten minutes later (and with no reply from me) my phone rings and it's him. I let it go, and then H tries D16 who also lets it go.
After the movie, I ring him back and he asks if he can come over as he needs to get the car re-lease documents re-signed as "there was an error in them last time" (I did them last week).
Now, surely he would have needed to get in touch with me about this - he was in a real rush to do it straightaway today. But he hasn't contacted me for 3 days...until I had to contact him to say that the credit card was frozen.
Passive aggressive control par excellence, or just me being paranoid???
When he did come over he was as nice as anything - without a word about the fact that we hadn't seen or heard from him since he said he was on his way over 3 days ago.
