[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went and read you old post. You don't want to lose the man you love, but honestly, it doesn't look like he loves you. He has all the decision making in the family? Sounds weird. He isn't a compromising sort of guy -- so you do all the compromising, correct? that isn't a good way to live.

You can abandon him to his small boat. Divorce divorce divorce you will without a doubt find a better partner. And if you don't? No worries at all!! No worse off, actually much better off, than you are now.[/quote]
+1  He expects you to support his dreams, but how is he supporting yours?

Grow a backbone, OP.  He seems to be using you.  Are you afraid to be alone at your age?  I mean... I can understand that.. I'm 51.  But, I would also not tolerate my DH using me for my money. FWIW, he is several years older than I am, and he is going to retire very soon before he hits 60, probably.  I will keep working for another couple of years (maybe retire at 55) just to pad our retirement, but if he were to    say he wanted to buy something really expensive for a hobby, I'd throw a fit, and tell him to go back to work to pay for it.

Actually, this kind of thing happened many years ago.  We were remodeling the kitchen, and he wanted high end this and high end that, and other stuff we didn't need to do. All of this was going over our budget, and he wanted to retire early back then, too.  We fought. So, I told him, "That's fine.. you go work more hours/get another job and make the money to cover the additional cost".   Guess who won.[/quote]
