DB seemingly backfired w/ my H???

[Mimi00]

H texted again today to let me know he was pulling money from our "emergency" savings to cover a bill and get some personal items & food(he was away from work for 3 weeks and finally gets paid for the first time since returning to work, at the end of this week.)

Me: "Ok, thanks for letting me know. Hope you had a good day at work"

H:"I'm still here....but thanks"

Me: "O.... well hope your HAVING a good day at work ;)"


The one thing counseling DID help us with was our money issues. He would never save money, but he would give money to his mother when she asked for it, yet say he had no money to save.... I had a problem with that, b/c it made me feel like he didn't care about our future, put $5 in there a month, show you care, that's all I wanted. In counseling the counselor told him that ideally you savings account should be 3x's what you make in a check....he listened to her and has been saving ever since. We decided to open an "emergency savings" and a "nest egg" savings...so now there are no issues when he needs to "dip" into the emergency savings, use it all you need to.

Even though he says he's "done" with the relationship, it's interesting he still checked in about the money today. Maybe because I checked in yesterday about taking the car in to have work done? We work so well together now that we're apart lol
