[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this isn't a troll, I'll bite. I am a SAHM with much more modest hhi and DH gives me $$ to do with what I want each month. This is not for regular items like clothes, but more for things like frivolous purses or spa days or travel with friends. I actually put a decent amount of it away into a savings account. NBD if I decided to give that $ to my brother -- it's already gone in DH's eyes.[/quote]

OP here. I just brought up getting a set dollar amount per month. I said 5k. I did not bring up my family. I said I want to be able to save it or buy a purse or treat my friend on a trip.

It does not cause fights but I have a childhood friend who is recently divorced. I wanted to travel with her and DH did not want to cover her plane ticket. He was fine with paying for my hotel and my friend stay with me. When she first moved into an empty apartment with tears. I would have loved to gift her a couch or something. DH said no.

I think I am just more generous with others. DH will take turns treating friends to drinks or dinner but that is the extent of it. [/quote]

I'm sorry but your expectations for "generosity" are insane.  I wouldn't buy my DH's best friend a couch.  She's divorced, presumably she's getting alimony?  Half the stuff from her house?  OMG.[/quote]
