Not giving up! (Take II)

[*KS*Chick*]

No, I have always taken the reigns on the checking account. He is the spender in the M and I am the saver. So needless to say we are paycheck to paycheck. If he sees an amount at the ATM, he assumes that is the actual balance. He doesn't seem to take into consideration that there may be bills that haven't cleared yet. I am not trying to bash him. He didn't have money as a child and now that he has a job, he wants to spend it.

I am trying to be less controlling in this regards. One of his issues with our M is my control over things. It has been that way because I have never seen him try to take control of anything. It has always been..."ok, I will get to it" Not something that a person with my personality wants to hear.

Then you can't appreciate me because I'm like your H and you're like my H. So one of my 180's has been to REALLY restrict my spending and balance my checkbook daily - ewww!
