I never heard of "oh" -"old husband"? Whatever, whoever. I agree with dunster, but next time there will have to be some discussion about how much of a say
you should have over
oh's personal expenditures. Compromise, unless you're talking about your money vs a joint resource. Financial advice from experts always seems to stress that in a relationship each person should have a bit of the budget for unquestioned personal use. Neither party gets to control
all the money - no matter who gets the paycheck or the bigger paycheck. If you are living with this person and carrying your share of the load in whatever manner, whether mopping, cooking, grocery shopping, dusting, listening to his most annoying complaints and most boring rants, etc. - it all counts. If he doesn't agree, you have bigger problems than whether or not to buy fabric when you feel like it.
