Was only a small $5 box of premium chocolates I wanted, I pointed out to a 9 dollar box, she was like no, not a chance, then I pointed to the $5 box and she was cool with it lol.------ This thread is Archived ------

Well yeah if it’s only a small purchase. The bigger things require more planning tho is what I’m saying.------ This thread is Archived ------
Always have your own money and buy whatever you want.

If it's something that I really want, then I would just get it if I could afford it. I'm glad that I'm on my own now and can chose what I want to do. I'm an Ebayer, I will go through everything on there to get the cheapest price for what I actually want at the same quality. I can spend hours on there
That's my "forte" When I was married, it was always a case of going for second best just because it was cheaper. I don't have to do that anymore. thank goodness. If I want something that I can't afford, then I'll wait and save up until I can afford it. The cheapest isn't always the best in the long run....

Same with me. I don't depend on anyone ------ This thread is Archived ------
Yes and the exact same trick works when playing out. What time will you be home from the pub? 3am. But stroll in at 2am and we'll all be winners

No i would not approach my partner. Asking for forgiveness is always easier when appropriate anyways if appropriate. Why do i need to ask someone else how to spend my money in any relationship as long as I meet my obligations? Today most women make way more money than men do anyways.------ This thread is Archived ------
