So, now that I've posted about Magical Vaginas, lets dig into the real dirt, shall we?
So, for those of you that aren't "in the know," my boyfriend has spending issues. And, I didn't realize how bad it was until one day I was going through the mail because he asked me to pay a bill (prior to this, I never did this, as it was his mail and really none of my business!). So, I was flipping through the stuff and noticed he had huge ass credit card balances (I have no balances) and even put an equity line of credit on the home. I was pissed. Sure, my name isn't on the home, so I have no legal right to bitch. But, we've lived and maintained the home for the past 3 years, you would think that he would have at *LEAST* mentioned it to me. And, when I asked him what the line of credit was for, he couldn't remember.
wooooohhhhh
You don't even remember what the line of credit was for? Ok, you need financial help.
So, we agreed that he would deposit his check into my account and I would either give him an allowance or money as needed, his choice. We first started to do the money as needed bit but then realized that it was a lot of hassle to run to the ATM super often as I never carry cash on me. I put everything on my credit card and pay it off religiously every month. So, anyways, enough patting on my back.
Everything has been going pretty well except this past week. Referencing the bling that Mike got for me that I talked about in a prior post, I wasn't super happy about the gift when I found out how much it was. The whole package cost a wee over $200. So, I got an email this afternoon, stating that he got me "another Christmas present."
Shit
So, he got me tickets to Kathy Griffin. I was freaking excited as I LOVE KATHY!!!!! I mean, she makes me wet my panties I love her so much.
However, he also sent me copies of the tickets so that I can print them off so that we can take them to the door. They were, total, 80 bucks. So, Christmas for me cost almost 300 this year. And he isn't supposed to be getting me anything this year.
God Damn Him
I'm supposed to be showing him to be responsible with his money and the past week or so he's been fucking irresponsible. And it's not like he's blowing it on gambling, booze, and what not. I tried to tell him that this evening. It's just that he's spending it on unnecessary stuff that we don't need. Yet he's up to his neck in hock and I'm trying my damnedest to help him and I just feel like I can't.
I even made a comment that I was surprised that his credit card hasn't been maxed out, as the one card that I thought he was using was almost maxed out; the one I'm trying to pay off. And he said that he had another credit card, the one that I PAID OFF RECENTLY, and put it on there.
I...I almost freaked out. I'm just really pissed at the moment; I'm so fed up with it.
I'm half tempted just to tell him that he's responsible for his debt again. I'll pay for a good chunk of the bills but I think that, since he's 46 and I'm 26, he should be able to control his spending habits. It's stupid that, being 20 years his junior, that I'm trying to help his spending.
And *then* I asked him as he was laying down to go to bed if he spoke with his brother about rescheduling coming over to our place this Saturday. Now, this is the same date that the Sullivan Family Gathering thingy is. And Mike knew that we were having this on Saturday. He's known for months. However, he told his brother it was fine to come over and fix these odds and ends around the house. Unacceptable. So, I asked Mike if he spoke with his brother, he said no he hasn't. And then he said that his brother won't be able to do it the next weekend 'cause Mike will be out of town on business. So, what about next weekend? "I think I'm doing something." Well what about the weekend after that? My point behind this is that he's never met that part of my family and I've had several people on that side ask about him and wanted to meet him. I think it's pretty shitty to be sitting around and making plans on a date where he knew he would be doing something with me and meeting my family that he's never met before and *then* being reluctant about rescheduling his plans. I understand that you can forget about something that's planned so far in advance. But you need to rectify the situation as soon as you find out; that's what really pisses me off.
It just pisses me off and it makes me wanna jump up and down like a bunny and scream.
Stupid men.
I think in my next life I'll be a lesbian. Sans Flannel Shirts. I'll be one of those fancy Lipstick Lesbians. I'll be a hot one that does hot lesbian porn. *licks lips*
