[quote=Anonymous]These are not huge items but they add up. When I raise the topic, dh gets very defensive and insists these are ‘necessities’ and important for his ‘health’. It is really getting to me as I’m shouldering all the major expenses, and I don’t buy these things for myself. Since being laid off, dh is ‘consulting’ but makes very little. We have one dc left at home and he now follows dh’s spending patterns. Examples: Almost daily smoothies that are $12+ Starbucks Organic everything - milk, cream, meat, fruit. Gym membership at pricey gym Take out - and always with a large drink or two that they end up tossing New clothing items that they deem ‘necessary’ - eg, new pricey athletic shoes once a season, new boots, etc. [/quote]
