COMPLAINTS-read
Once again I am frustrated. I would like to make some changes in this house that we have lived in for a very long time. I am tired of all the old furniture. This house needs a painting. At least the living and dining room need one. The ceiling has damage. I talked to hubby about it for awhile. I thought he agreed or at least would let me do it. Well as usual once it came down to brass tacks he complained that we spent a lot this year and will need money for our trip next Spring and to put the painting etc. off.
I am sick of this. He is always worried about money. I never did understand our money situation so always feel frustrated and give in. He tries to explain it to me but I need it in black and white.
Anyhow I decided the hell with it. So I won’t do anything. I won’t paint. Our stairs in front of the house need to be fixed. There are cracks in the cement.
I think it’s time to move to a condo but hubby is not ready. We wouldn’t have to worry about maintaining this house. I am not sure I am ready to move. I would have to get rid of a TON of stuff but I think it would be wonderful to move to a new place and get rid of all this old junk. I keep everything but I am sure I could live without all this stuff. I would keep what is really important and get rid of the rest.
This morning we are going bowling. Our knees bother us so we both plan to take an ADVIL before we go. For me I am thinking I just shouldn’t bowl although I do enjoy it. For this morning I will take my Advil and see how it goes.
Last night we played bridge at my friends who passed away’s apartment. It brought back so many memories. All good! Memories about all the parties we had in her party room. I guess I will always think and miss her.
I want to get tickets for Cirque Du Soleil. Hubby says they are too much money so I will just go without him.
He wants to go to the trailer for the weekend. I will not go sleep over this weekend. I told him I would go for the day but if he wants he can go for the weekend. I will stay here.
Once again we are so different. We each want and enjoy different things.
I think you should get your Cirque du Soleil tickets!

Moving at this age is good — if you wait it will be that much more work, and you’d be able to adjust better. Keep working on him — you’ll be glad you did. Remember your kids! 🙂 They won’t want to be doing this for you later on…

Maybe every now and then just mention how big your home is and how it would be so much easier and less expensive to maintian a smaller place….I bet if you mention this several times a week he will just get tired of hearing you complain and say “Okay you win..let’s move”

It sounds like he doesn’t really mind spending money on stuff HE thinks is important…he just doesn’t think the stuff YOU want is important! Lots of married couples have the same problem. Good luck bowling today; I hope you have fun! hugs, Weesprite

Here’s how you get an understanding of the financial situation: list all assets and their value, bank accounts and investments and their value, income coming in. Then list all the expenses…house payment, car, insurance, utilities, etc. Subtract the outgoing from the incoming and see how much you have left each month. You NEED to know this stuff. It’s important.

Would you consider getting a part time job for your little extras, that way he can’t complain it costs too much as you can use your money. Just a thought.
