Today, my boyfriend told me on the phone that he thought we were too poor for value-pack bacon. When I got home, I found he had gone to work leaving two lights and the TV on, and that the shower was running. He said, "Turning things on and off takes too much time! Who cares about money?" FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML

Today, I treated my boyfriend to an expensive dinner using the last of my paycheck. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom a few minutes in. I came back to find my plate empty. His excuse was, "I didn't want the food to get cold." FML

Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML

Today, I burned dinner because my girlfriend was yelling for me to help with a trivial problem. To salvage things, I ordered pizza. She spent the rest of the evening moaning that I ruined dinner, that we don't eat healthy, and that I "make us" waste money on food. FML

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML

Today, my boyfriend keeps mentioning how well his new job pays, while I don’t have any income. He then got upset when I expected him to pay for the groceries I got on my way to his new place. What I bought was stuff I needed so I could cook for him, and for me to eat while I’m there, cleaning and fixing stuff for him. FML

Wow, I am surprised he would put turning off lights before bacon. I mean, come on! BACON!

Tell him that maybe you wouldn't be as poor and you could afford more stuff if he took the minute it takes to turn off all those. Hypocrites are annoying.

doesn't even take a minute to turn those things off. I am blown away. Leaving a light on is one thing, BUT THE SHOWER? That is so wastefull, I can't even.

Exactly. I understand leaving the light on, even the tv for security reasons, but the shower?!? That doesn't even make sense.

After reading this through again, I think your husband was trying to prove a point and was being sarcastic when he said "who cares about money." I think he was upset about the bacon thing (and possibly op's spending habits) and decided he'd try and prove his point by leaving the lights, tv, and shower on, knowing you'd come home to find the house like that. It's really the only semi-logical explanation as I have a hard time believing anyone is that dumb to leave the shower on while they're not home.
