First Post, She just Left, Very unsure

[JulieH]

Sandi, do you have any insight as to why hav hope's wife would want to control him and make him feel guilty by complaining about him going out and spending money on something she does not see as valuable?

I am asking this because I too would get angry at husband when he would spend money on concerts or going out. I justified my anger by thinking , well he tells me he can't afford karate lessons for kids but can afford to spend it on himself..but I wonder if there is something more to it. What's behind the need to control.

Sorry for the hijacking, but perhaps this type of argument is universal amongst husband/wife relationships?
