Ok so I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I have been with my man for 2.5 years. He owns his own business & has always made much more $ than me. In fact, I've struggled with $ a lot in the past year or so - money has usually been very tight. He goes on shopping sprees, buys Mac computers and all sorts of gadgets, 2 new cars. I scoot by and try to think positive so $ will improve for myself.
Here is the problem. For quite some time now, whenever we go to eat or grocery shopping or to run errands, we will get to the cash register or it's time to pay and he suddenly "forgot" his money at home. This man has enough $ in savings to buy a car but does not bring cash with him. He always is apologetic and asks if I have cash to cover it so he can pay me back for his part, which I did happily at first. Now, I huff and puff some but not too much because he USUALLY pays me back. Sometimes, no, but usually it's on smaller purchases. Am I overreacting or is there something wrong with this? I've even gotten so annoyed that I make a point every time we leave the house to ask: Do you have your keys/wallet/phone/money?
Today it happened again and really irked me because I got a great modeling gig and for once, made a good chunk of $. I plan to use it to pay off some DMV fees so I get my license back in good standing, pay off my boob job and the rest, he said we could make sure to have a good birthday trip for him later this month. Whatever, I don't mind that, we both need a vacation. Well we went to the grocery store and he bought all sorts of things while I got two frozen dinners for a buck each and a water. Surprise! Once they ring everything up, he suddenly forgot his money at home. Can I spot him? I did, with annoyance, and he knew it. As soon as I paid he literally went Oops! And out came a wad of money from his pocket. He told me I always give him a hard time about lending him money. He then proceeded to pay me ALMOST the full amount of what his groceries cost, saying he didn't have the right change. Same thing happened yesterday with lunch. Not that ten bucks is a big deal by any means, but it seems to me that this is some sort of power play and I don't get it?! It's driving me nuts. Any help??
