My H has a very big issue (in my opinion) with money and how it equates with him being a good provider for his family.
My brothers for example both have jobs where they receive an anual bonus (a very big one) and whenever my H hears about it he gets all pissy and in a bad mood. Needless to say, it is a sore subject.
My H has a very good job and makes a decent amount of money but...we have been living way beyond our means for the past 5 years. It is both of our fault and we are now facing reality and trying to dig ourselves out of this hole.
H spends $10-$20 a day on scratch off tickets (yes, you could say he is addicted). In the grand scheme of things it is not that bad considering what he was spending money on last year (going out with OW) but I still wish he wouldn't do it.
I probably will stop stressing about it because I do not want to emasculate him or make him feel less of the "man"/provider and again I cannot control or mother him by telling him what he can or cannot do.
