[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut off his access to the money. Divorce him.[/quote]

OP - we already have separate checkbooks.  He doesn't understand the concept of a bank balance not including deductions for checks that did not clear.[/quote]

My husband is like that too.   We have been married 15 years and luckily I discovered that VERY early in our marriage.   What it has basically come down to is I handle ALL the money.   It's sad really, whenever he wants to buy something, he has to ask me first.

[b]If I were in your shoes, OP I would probably find out exactly how much extra first class was vs. coach vs. driving to the vacation destination (if possible, you don't say where it is so maybe it is overseas or something).    Then I would deduct the difference from his spending money.   For example, maybe the difference was $500, and he likes to golf.   Well, the next time the opportunity for some special golf outing with his buddies comes up, he'll just have to sit it out.   And the next one.   And however many it takes until he has forfeited at least $500 of fun[/b].[/quote]

WTF? You would do this to a grown man?  A man you thought well-enough of (at one point) to marry??  Shit, that's wrong. [/quote]

The money difference would need to come from somewhere!   Where should it come from?   Should we stop paying the mortgage for a month to make up the difference?   Tell the kids "Hey sorry guys--but we're cutting you back to one meal a day!   Daddy wants to go golfing with his buddies as much as he wants and since we must treat him like a "grown man" that means his fun takes priority over you needs!"

Maybe that's how things work in your house, but not mine.[/quote]
