[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He spends and has spent a lot on himself. Everything from his golf clubs to his vehicle has to be top of the line. The issue is that he does the same to me, he tells me what he wants for Christmas, [b]his gifts he want will cost probably in excess of $800.[/b]

And no, he didn't tell me that he wanted to go on a trip I did it to surprise him and thought he would enjoy it. He also asked me what I wanted to do and then clearly doesn't want to pay for it.

The frustrating part is I feel like I put in a lot of effort, time, energy and money but it's rarely requited. [/quote]

Op, in light of the further explanation of your finances, the fact he puts this expectation on you for his Christmas gifts is really disturbing.  You have to get real with yourself about your debt and your income, and so does he.

We've all been young and dumb about money.  I hope this is him simply being "young and dumb" as well, but if you intend to be married and share finances, you both need to grow up and figure out what's going on.  Maybe you guys can take a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University course together, and let that be the springboard for the serious conversations you need to be having. [/quote]
