[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why everyone is so quick to say that it isn't a normal reaction.  Of course it is.  It is the number one thing that couples fight about and the number one cause of divorce, conflict over money.  Late paying of a bill causes big fights in probably thousands of households ever night.  I know that even though my husband and I have a relatively stable and established system that whenever unexpected bills or new items are introduced we have momentary problems and - yes - fights sometimes b/c money and mistakes involving money are just plain stressful.  I do agree that it sounds like you need counseling, together or apart.  I just think its overkill to conclude that the husband is abusive or manipulative b/c the couple had a blow out over a late paid bill or even b/c the couple had different frames of reference as to how much the other has historically contributed to money problems and/or money management over time.  I'm so tired of hearing everything defined as abuse.  The culture that makes everyone an abuser or a victim is so weak and overplayed thanks to Oprah and the others like her.[/quote]

Agreed that money is a big reason for fights but not sure I agree that it is normal to flip out over a bill that is two days late unless there was some penalty attached to that late payment.  Not paying a credit card bill that results in finance charges - ok; not paying the insurance premium and getting a cancellation notice - ok; but a daycare bill that is two days late????[/quote]
