Re: Questions about money

justperfectlyflawed's picture

So I spoke to my Boyfriend last night and this afternoon about the 2 situations.

He showed me his check stubs and why the extra money was being removed and we went over this months bills and budget. He was not upset with me and understood my concerns. It is the lack of him communicating because he is not great at that. (He is a very quiet man) so, I have to pull information out of him. Today I was telling him about our vacation budget and he said "I spoke to my stepdad and he is paying for the amusement park day." and I was like "That is a perfect example...you have conversations with people and I have no idea who, when, why?...and then you don't even mention anything to me."

Ugh! Anyway so we are clear on money talk and I told him I was not letting up about it. He said he needed me to stay how I was because he knows he can be lousy with money.

I do not want to bitch about too much him because nobody is perfect but sometimes I want to scream....LOL }:)

You go, girl!

There's a pretty good book out there called "First Comes Love, Then Comes Money." It discusses money types, and a strategy for learning to communicate and plan together. There's no one real way to do things, as long as you two are on the same page.
