Happy Anniversary to us! 9yrs...crazy to think last year at this time we were seperated!
So my H is the type of person who always has to be doing something...he was doing some handyman/rennovation stuff on the side for a bit but hasn't done any of that in a while...since we are renting right now there are no projects for him to do and he is going a little stir crazy! He decided that he wants to buy an old jeep that needs some work so he can have a project. I am a little apprehensive about this...even though we have the $$ in savings it wasn't really in the plan...I think it would be a blast so I'm ok with it to a point but we have always been impulse buyers. Him, moreso than me, I rarely buy things for myself because I always feel like it is too much $$ or we don't really need it but he will go buy whatever he wants...tools, 4-wheelers. I was going to go visit my Dad and found a great deal on tickets but didn't get them, a week later they had gone up $100 (still under $300) and I decided that was too much to spend because he was so stressed with work and worried about his income that I didn't want to spend the $$....
Here's the thing, he doesn't ever tell me not to spend $$ or make me feel bad when I do...on the occasion that I do buy clothes he thinks I spend too much on what I buy and that I could get better deals at say a Ross or TJMaxx...So, how do I change this about myself?? I don't want to be the "fun-hater" always telling him no (as long as it's reasonable) but I also want to feel like it's ok to spend $$ on me.
On the bright side of this we spent the morning together going to look at this jeep he found in the auto-trader...and he didn't make an impulse buy, he decided it was more work thant he could do! So, I feel better about it!
As he was leaving to go to work he said good bye and "love you!" I can't say that it's out of habit because I haven't heard those words for over a year for the most part! WOW!
