[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. How do I respond when DH is angry that I hired someone to fix the shower? There is no way he will say thanks or even say nothing. He will definitely be annoyed.

And to the PP who asked if I am a money waster, no I am not. DH and I definitely disagree on what is a worthwhile use of money and what is not, but [b]at the end of every discussion, he has the final say.[/b] I have conditioned myself to be very frugal over the years in response to his behavior.

I replied above at 13:17 before seeing this.

Oh my. The bold is your big, overarching problem here, then. He has conditioned you, over the years, to respond to what is controlling behavior over money.

If this is eating at you like it would eat at me -- I'd get a third party involved. A couple, actually. A financial adviser who creates a budget (so DH can''t say you're trying to skew the budget or overspend) and a marriage counselor to help you both deal with his need for control. [/quote]
