I have had it! I love FH so so much but when it comes to common sense he is completely lacking in the department. Anyhow, my point is... I just put his car for sale on Craigslist.
How much trouble am I going to be in?
I really dont even care. When we moved in together I took over the finances and let me tell you this kid has alot of debt. Most of MY paycheck goes to his bills and it pisses me off. I make twice as much as him yet I can't spend the money on myself because Im busy paying our mortgage then all of his stupid bills. I love him so I accept it and I made a plan where it will be all paid off in a year or two. Well.. the genius went ahead and borrowed 22k from his uncle about 6 months ago to get a brand new, gas sucking pickup truck and has yet to pay him even 1 cent back!!!! We just dont have the extra money right now with this wedding... Next year after the wedding if I manage to save 22k I want that for a house!! not to pay back his stupid truck. My car right now is about to die and I need a new one and I cant even think about that until his is paid off...
.........so I took it upon myself to put it for sale!!.....Honestly if he didnt have so much debt I wouldn't care. But the fact that he does and he went and borrowed 22k knowing he couldnt pay it back really really bugs me.
ok VENT OVER
**Update: Well I called him and told him and he said 'ok' ..didn't yell at all and we hung up. That was about an hour ago. He just called back and I figured he would be flipping out cause it had time to settle and it was actually the opposite.. He sounded really upset saying how he should have listened to me when I told him not to buy it and he made a mistake and he is sorry and that we should sell it etc.. then he went on and on saying how I probably think he is bad with money and cant take care of me and he doesnt want me to feel that way and that we will make decisions together from now on.. etc... etc...
so basically now he just made me feel like a total witch!! But I guess it had to be done because he wasn't doing anything aout it himself

Re: FH is going to get a nice surprise
By the way I hear you on it, fh wants a new pick up truck, but since my life savings went into the down payment of our house and I am in school full time changing careers I told him NO WAY. Not until I have a real salary and we have paid for our honeymoon and all the changes we are doing to our house.
I really want to know how he reacts, keep us posted.

You are one brave woman, but I guess since you're the one paying the bills, it's ultimately your decision, I just hope he doesn't flip out!!

I think its nice that he respects your feelings and your right it had to be done. Glad it all worked out for you. Good luck selling it, hope you get it sold.
I may know someone (not my fh) looking for a pick up truck. Link the listing on here and I will send it to them.

Re: FH is going to get a nice surprise **Update**
I am learning that it is important to set limits. I am glad that your FH realized that he was not being fair to you. Hopefully he will turn over a new leaf. Do not beat your self up over this...sometimes you have to do something drastic to get the point across.
