Rant: I love but hate pay day. My SO is the only income in the house and gets paid once a month. He gets paid and then…

I would never let my husband play game or spend on game. We always have a talk that is that more important the his life or it that his life when he has two kids to support and I don't work too.

I would have to make a secret account and just deposit some money in there . Either that or divorce because spending that much money isn't acceptable at anytime but especially with a whole family to take care of.

@ablaub LOL an almost 5 yo and an almost 2 and half yo? How about you get a job and make him a stay at home daddy to show him what it's really like. 😡 and spend 600 on stuff that only pertains to you. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that, my SO is terrible with money and we both work full time but all the money goes to my wallet. He doesn't even have a debit card anymore. 😂

@medeles98 yeah he doesn't seem to understand that. He has it in his mind that I have it easy being a stay at home mom.

@ablaub shiiiiii, I would pop a cap in my mans booty. I thought mines spending 10$ here and there was bad. But that is ridiculous, that money could go to so much more.. stuff you can enjoy as a family and not just him! Just bc he makes the money doesn't mean anything, you stay at home with the kiddos and that's a full time job in itself.

@ablaub well then I would say there are lots of bigger reasons that underlie the issues you two have. I couldn't be with someone like that. Bottom line. I hope you figure out how to communicate better.

Wow! That’s a lot of money to blow on games! That’s not ok, I’m sorry you are dealing with that.. it’s very immature of him

I'm sorry you are dealing with this his family should come first not games my fiancé was into games till we found out I was going to have our daughter and he sold all his games and the systems to get her stuff she needed before she was born and 600 plus is way to much on games

@ablaub you're right, he does need to learn responsibility. He's the provider of the family, so no that isn't just his money. Like@ilovemychildren said, any and all financial decisions should be discussed.

I'd leave honestly

Oh hell no that would not fly

@ilovemychildren oh girl I've tried and everything back fires he uses "it's my money I'll do what I want with it." But when I had a job I got stuck paying for everything living paycheck to paycheck cause his checks went to his games

@medeles98 yep $600 plus!!.. Every month I pay the bills and try too keep at least $700 for food for the month and I give him the rest of the check for gas and what ifs for the month which is around $600 a month and he blows it in a day on his game and then sneaks into our food account and spends more.

I would never let that go on in my home. Financial decisions need to be well discussed. Its one of the top things couples fight about. I would just start trying to bring up in conversation how you feel about him spending that much and ask him if he could compromise by maybe cutting back his budget for games a little each month until you get to where its more responsible. Show him how investing a hundred here and there out of that money to say put it in a 401k is beneficial (if you have one) or even a savings account that can lead to a much needed vacation. Idk

@rikki.ferguson absolutely that's way too much for a freaking game. He is 25 years old with two kids I wish he would grow the fuck up cause it stresses me out.

600?? Girrrrllll

@ablaub I don't think you should ever spend that much money on a damn game either! I'm sorry you're dealing with that bs.

@rikki.ferguson absolutely it pisses me off cause we have a shared account that is for food only and he spends our food money on his game.

That's ridiculous. Family and necessities should come first.
