I've recently spent a few dollars on my new website and apparently that was a big mistake (according to my wife). This is not the first time the "D" word has come up because of money. It seems the more I spend (by spend I mean 30 dollars or less a week) the more she comes up with ways to get me mad, for example: she makes me sleep on couch; says "I'm leaving for work, I need to get away from you"; holds back on sex etc. It's getting to the point where I feel it's my fault and maybe I shouldn't spend a few dollars from my own paycheck.
Or maybe she's the one who needs to change with some professional help. Maybe encouraging your loved one to spend a few dollars here and there might help. I'd say whenever one spends a few dollars set up a date to take your significant other to the mall and keep them company while they shop. Now you won't feel bad for wasting money (even tho
ugh it's yours). Whatever makes it work will be worth it, instead of getting a divorce over something so small. That's a big price for something that could have been worked out in five minutes. Work it out and see where your agreements will take you. I know some of these examples are perfect examples of the saying "two rights don't make a wrong". I'd rather be wrong than end up in divorce with someone I truly love.
So fight for your right with the intention of changing your partner's mind as well, because money (in small amounts) shouldn't be the deciding factor for a divorce or a huge argument which will end in a worse scenario. Best thing to do is work things out between each other and set up a plan on how much you're gonna spend from your pay check. If there are no agreements, figure a different amount or just hide your money under the mattress and hope it's never found......that last one won't work but the first advise might.
