[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your parents were like this, you’re probably subconsciously trying to “please” your parents, even if they’re unaware of whatever you’re doing. You’re probably trying to either gain their approval or gain an understanding of them.

What’s your current situation with them? Are they alive? Are you enmeshed with them? Were you NOT the golden child and this is your way of gaining their approval (even if they’re dead)?

My ILs were and are profoundly cheap, and I’ve known a few other pathologically cheap couples. None of them are in happy marriages, and I think the mindset kind of becomes “Well, if we can’t be happy, at least we can make sure the money is right.”

It’s easier to turn your nose up at spending money at a restaurant when the real issue is that you don’t have anyone with whom to enjoy the restaurant. [/quote]

We have a great relationship currently, it's just they had the not best income so they always tell me things were too expensive so now that I can afford it I still can't buy it.[/quote]
