SO...I was so happy that DH actually PAID HIS PORTION ($90) Of the utilities this month.

He still owes me over $1000

We just got back from grocery shopping.

He suggested we paint the basement. I asked why? The whole purpose of the basement OVER TIME was to make it a "theater room" for our family.

He just told me he.bought.a.75.inch.flatscreen.tv.

For about $1200.

W T F

I'm going to kill him.

THIS is the exact reason why we DON'T HAVE A JOINT ACCOUNT.

He paid for it in the electronic section while I was grocery shopping.

He needs to return it and reimburse you with interest. Will this happen? I'm sure it won't.

The tv goes back, immediately. Or you divorce his pathetic a$$.

Good grief woman, is there no limit to how much nonsense you'll accept?

In the basement...

With the new tv (shoved her H's head thru the screen.

He definitely needs to take that tv back and pay you the money he owes you. Period.Dot.

Did he pay cash or put it on his credit card?  Neither is acceptable, but if he had the cash and didn't give it to you, I'd be livid.  Of course, if he put it on a credit card, he's beyond stupid.  

Why do you put up with this?

Hold the TV hostage until he pays the money he owes you, and the cost of painting the basement upfront.

He really has no respect for you does he?

 No one needs to spend that much on a TV.  I bought a top of the line TV for less than $500. He’s not only an ass he’s also STUPID.   One needs an auditorium sized room for a TV that size.

This is heartbreaking behavior on his part.  Did you ask him for the $1000 he owes you since he is obviously flush with  money buying a TV.  No.???? you don't have it?  Well, return the TV and give me the money you owe me.. THEN we can save together for a TV we pick out together.

This makes me very angry for you... you are barely getting by financially and he blows a grand on a non-necessity.  I mean, you can by a reasonably decent tv for 200...no need for him to spend that much...

I would make this a hill to die on.  If it doesn't go back and you don't get paid back... I would leave him. 

Don't believe his words.. his actions will show you whether you matter to him.  If the TV stays...your answer is clear.. he only wants you around to pay his bills so he can be irresponsible.

He put it on the credit card. He says he is going to pay the entire mortgage next month, thus bringing his balance down to $400. He also covered a few extra grocery items when we went grocery shopping,(about an extra $25) moving them over to his purchases as we were putting them on the belt.  So I guess as long as he keeps showing effort I can be too upset.  His credit card not mine, his problem if he doesn't pay.  We still have nothing joint.

If he can put a tv on his credit card, he can put all the groceries and many other bills on his credit card, too. There's no excuse for him owing you money when he can buy a $1000 tv. You're deceiving yourself if you think him covering a lousy $25 in groceries is showing "effort."  It's not - it's tossing you crumbs to keep you off his case.
