AM I BEING UNREASONABLE????????
I just will never understand my husband. I want to yell and scream! I told him in March that I wanted a new computer for my 70th birthday. I would give up the trip I was planning. It would have been about ten or more thousands. Now it is July. I’ve asked him twice this week if I could get my computer. So he tells me I should ask my sons which one I should get. He tells me if I wait a year there will be new features. He is going near the APPLE store soon. I asked him if we could go early and get my computer. He answered, "Do you really expect to go to the Apple store and bring home a new computer today??" I said No! Let’s wait until next year. What the hell is wrong with him? He is always waiting for some new feature that he will get NEXT YEAR.
Again I asked him what we will do with the money from my BIL. He’s holding onto it. I am so totally fed up. It’s his fault I am so much in debt. He doesn’t want to part with a cent!!!!!!!
Anyhow I should be use to it. I need ideas how to handle him. ANY?????????
I am going swimming soon. Then I will pick up my grandson. I have to stay near his house as my son planned a baseball lesson for him at seven. I can’t drive him here and then back there for seven. The drive is too long~!!!!!!! I wanted to bring him here to work on a craft.
I am so fed up!!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking that maybe I won’t go to the country. Hubby is going to shop in Burlington tomorrow so he is leaving today. I told him I’m not coming to Burlington. I have no money to shop so why would I go?
Maybe I won’t go to the country at all. Saturday he’ll go play golf. I’ll have my car but so what! He has his friends over after that……………..
SAME OLD JUST DIFFERENT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I better go swimming……………………
i guess he controls all money. what a loving husband!

sounds like a very controlling man!! i don’t know what to tell you. you’d think he’d be more generous. tell him you should get it now cause you don’t know if you’ll be alive next year. maybe that would work… get him to let lose of some money. take care,

Ouch 🙁 Is it possible, without getting into an argument, to let him know that there will always be a new feature or a new update, and it doesn’t matter because you need a better computer than you have now, not the newest and greatest as it comes out? I’d also suggest that you take him up on the offer to consult with your sons. Find the EXACT model you want and then tell him toget it for you RIGHT NOW. It might be a case of him not wanting to have to struggle with the picking out process that is making him so contrary about you getting one.

Sounds like he is just using that as an excuse to NOT buy you a new computer, ask your sons to help you pick out a good one and then tell him this is the one you want, you don’t need any fancy new features. If he still doesn’t buy it for you, then I guess he never wanted to from the beginning. Don’t know what to tell you, my ex was cheap too and I divorced him! 😉

Why don’t you tell him that there will ALWAYS be some great new feature coming up – but right now you can get a great buy on LAST YEAR’S ‘shiny new thing’ because it’s getting older and it’ll save him lots of $$ compared to buying the latest and greatest… (huggles)

What’s wrong with your present computer? Doesn’t it work?

No, I don’t think you are being unreasonable. I think hubby is being cheap. And I bet he spends every bit of that money on himself.

He’s cheap and controlling and I can feel your frustration. He’s putting you off because he doesn’t want to part with a dime.

I don’t know how you have your money set up. I would think at seventy, you need to stop waiting for things. LOL!
