[quote=Anonymous]OP, I grew up in a loving but economically insecure environment, and I also happen to have a lot of generalized anxiety. Although I don’t know if the same is true for your DH, I can see myself doing some the things your husband is doing. Whenever I’m stressed because my life is moving too quickly for me to be able to keep up, my instinct is to assert control over my environment by controlling my household’s spending. Having a week when I didn’t spend any money would be really calming and soothing to me, no matter how wealthy my circumstances. I can also see the sudden increase in your income as being the very thing that’s upset your DH’s equilibrium. Although it’s obviously a happy development for your family, it’s also a lot more ‘stuff’ for someone with anxiety to have to reign in. Does any of this ring true if your DH’s case? [/quote]
