My husband isn't expensive. He rarely buys anything, and if he needs something I buy it. Now, my kid... he's expensive.

Way to hit OP while she’s down.

Back off.

It was a perfectly reasonable response. Sorry I’m not going to encourage OP’s blatant self indulgence.

Sounds like OP touched on a sensitive subject for you. How many lbs overweight are you?

DP - I agree with the PP you're quoting.

and FTR, I'm 47 years old, 5'11", 178 lbs, 4 visible abs (working on the last two), very athletic and in shape, full head of black hair though graying slightly, salt and pepper beard (neatly trimmed - wife loves it). Happy to share more if you have any additional questions....

You sound like a walking midlife crisis

I would have noticed it while married.

I'm separated and it is the best feeling to open up the online banking or the credit card and not have a bunch of surprises! I have always maintained a spreadsheet to reconcile the bank account and project spending several months out, and now I don't have to re-adjust constantly. My only stress right now is whether STBX will actually continue contributing to the shared debts/obligations or make good on the threats to leave those to me to cover on my own.

What a dumb thread

How much did he spend on makeup, beauty products, and getting his hair done?

Yes, men tend to be bigger than women on average, and consume more calories per day on average. Thus, higher food costs.

My point is that men in general spend more money on food. And I am not one of those women who spend $$ on bags or shoes. I suppose iI have realized that it is nice to have control over what is being spent.

Divorced for a year and I never realized before how much my DH spent or cost, particularly when it came to food. He always ate out for lunch $$, ate 3x what I do and always wanted meat, had to have the pricey cable package, etc. I am trying to find the bright side to this divorce and not spending so much is definitely a plus.
