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 blows most of it on his fucking online game leaving little for grocery money for the month. I understand it's his money and he can do what he wants but at the same time I wish he wasn't so selfish and would think about his family first instead of spending $600 plus on his games... Then I get my ass chewed cause there is no food in the house.. Need money to have food in the house...
I would have to make a secret account and just deposit some money in there . Either that or divorce because spending that much money isn't acceptable at anytime but especially with a whole family to take care of.
@ablaub LOL an almost 5 yo and an almost 2 and half yo? How about you get a job and make him a stay at home daddy to show him what it's really like. 😡 and spend 600 on stuff that only pertains to you. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that, my SO is terrible with money and we both work full time but all the money goes to my wallet. He doesn't even have a debit card anymore. 😂
@medeles98 yeah he doesn't seem to understand that. He has it in his mind that I have it easy being a stay at home mom.
@ablaub shiiiiii, I would pop a cap in my mans booty. I thought mines spending 10$ 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.
@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.
@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.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
I’m so pissed off i gave my hubby 300 this month to pay a bill he owed cause he hadn’t got paid he got paid today i ask him for some money he told i work hard for my money u gone wait tell u get paid again I’m so stressed 😩
Locked my husband out of our bedroom I’m so sick of him staying up till 5 am playin video games online then sleeping till he goes to work while I’m taking care of the kids and house! This is gettin so old and his excuse is he works 10 hrs a day so he deserves to relax... well I work 24/7!!!! I never get a dam break
Prayers needed please
My husband is on his way to his mothers house, and he has no idea when he gets there that he is going to find out his little brother killed himself thismorning.
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.
