Hey TVS, hope you are doing OK. Have stayed off your new thread so the vets can chime in, but it doesn't mean you aren't often in my thoughts.
Apology!!!! what's that? I know not to expect one of those, if I can get a civil attitude from H I take that as a positive.
RH, my H has always valued my opinion on his clothes so he has always taken me clothes shopping with him. I do enjoy it because I know lots of husbands who detest clothes shopping. Its another way we can connect and have fun.
The budget is a sore point for me. H has always left me to manage the money, and I do it very well. H has never been a big spender in the past, but it was something he angrily brought up at BD. "The kids have always had what they needed, i'm earning all (not) the money.. now its my turn, I'm sick of being told how to spend my money". Typical MLC thing. So I released the reigns as a 180 so he can let loose a bit with the money. He has not really done damage as such, just making sure he is looking after himself. I will just have to let it go for now, but if it continues to be a problem I will have to address it down the track, using the best communication methods I can.
