I think most of us are in sort of the same postiion Sad_Dad, our OHs just don't get it.

Mine does not like spending money unless it is on beer or his hobby.

The credit card bill came through the other day, (we do pay it off each month) lots of amazon buys I did not recognise. Got him to check, all correct but £60 on books and board/card games was a bit :eek: He pointed out I had spent much more, BS orders (for presents), Ts direct printer inks, Naked wine, Ts wine order with the new customer code. was about double his spend but if I did not make the savings he would not be able to indulge.

The storing of everything until it's used causes a few rumbles but he is gradually getting used to it. Even to my astonishment going to the Ts food evening on his own with the promise of freebies.

We are 2 totally different people than when we first met (it's our 25th wedding anniversary next year) but I think we compliment each other well and have allowed each other to grow into the people we are today having gone in slightly different directions but ending up in the same place. A few struggles on the way but Yin and Yang and all that.

Oh dear that has turned into a bit of a story. But I hope you all know what I mean.

This rang a few bells with me. As many of you on here know i have been on a long journey the last 6 years. OH and I split up in March 2008 due to his drinking. Luckily he is sober now. We were left with a load of debts which are gradually been cleared ( although some of the credit card debts should fall away shortly due to the 6 year rule).
Now OH and I are good friends ( as was displayed last week at DS's wedding) and he is helping his DD with her depression as he suffers from it too.
He likes to spend his money on books and things but it is not my problem anymore and although he spent most of our money on booze I refuse to let it make me bitter. Whenever there is a glitch he is my chauffeur and as we are both skint at the mo with the wedding expenses he is eating out of the freezer to save money. ( I am stil on CD to lose the last 12lbs). DD went away today to Devon with a load of others to a 30th birthday weekend and was pleased to take Free coffee drinks, cheap coke and diet coke, cheap Carlsberg almost free Pizza and free crisps.
Thanks to this thread and site I no longer worry about my bills as i know I will have the money to pay them.
OH and I are looking forward and I help him as he helps me. We were married 32 years last week and although we dont live together I feel we are as close as most married couples.
Going to spend tommorow clearing out spare room to finally put stash in some kind or order.
Love you all. My brothers and sisters and Mum dont treat me well so I am glad i have all of you.

My oh is the same, were in A today and he kept picking things up and putting in trolley, I kept saying to him I need to only get things that would compare and had asked him in advance what we needed so I could check price etc and he had said nothing, he stormed off in the end when I pointed out that the dvd I bought him yesterday was only able to be bought as I had saved money on other things. He just doesn't get it I have decided now to try and not end up in a supermarket with him x

Mine is exactly the same - 25 years later and he still refuses to accept that shopping lists are set in concrete and not one extra item gets added. He also fails to understand how stressed I get and how close to meltdown I get instore - items not in stock, random coupon acceptance - reduced to tears on one occasion.

But on some level he does understand how important all this MOCing, glitch, code and bargain hunting is, how it all adds to our quality of life and the bank balance.
