[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I just told my husband I will buy us side tables. He looked incredulous," with MY money?"

I said, "with OUR money."

He says that [b]he just took me on a big trip abroad[/b] and he does not want to spend any money. I told him I am happy to use "MY" money.

He gets angry and says "everyone knows you like to spend and spend!"

I said, "that is not accurate, I am buying side tables with my money."

He rolls his eyes and says, "do whatever you want!" sighs and walks out.

There's a key to your dynamic in here.   If you took the trip together, how is it that he sees it as him "taking you" on a trip abroad?   Does he think he's responsible for all the finances in your relationship?  Do you guys have a very high hhi?[/quote]

My DH makes about double what I do. He would never dream of saying that he "took me on vacation" b.c it's our combined money. We also don't fight like teens by saying things like "everyone knows you spend and spend." That's extremely immature.

You don't have a furniture problem in your relationship- you have a power struggle and control issue problem. Put on your big person pants and look at the forest not the trees.[/quote]
