Today, my husband asked to borrow money. He couldn't pay his half of the rent or utilities this month, but he did manage to buy a $1,700 radio. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband said he wouldn't be talking to me for weeks, because I didn't buy him weed. Yeah, I paid all the bills and the rent this month. FML
Today, my husband used our last $2000 to buy himself a motorcycle. It's supposed to "save us a lot on gas money." FML
Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Today, my dad asked me to lend him some money to buy his medication, since he's all but broke right now. He returned with nothing but a bottle of tequila. FML
Today, after spending money on all the furniture and decor in our apartment, paying rent every month from my bank account, paying for all the groceries, and paying for all the dog supplies, my fiance asked why I don't keep saving thousands of dollars every month, while he pays for none of it. 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 proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML
Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford to pay my share of the rent this month. I couldn't afford to, because I had to pay for repairs to my car after my roommate got drunk, stole my keys, and crashed it into a street light. 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, my roommate expected me to help them buy them car, or loan them some money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Problem 1: Why are you splitting bills and money up if you're married? Maybe that's why he feels like he can do whatever he wants with "his" money. Gotta share it all in a marriage.

Hopefully, for $1700, the radio has one of those cranks to generate power. Then, you guys can listen to cool tunes when you’re homeless.

Your answer here is part of the reason the divorce rate is so high! Oh there's a problem? DIVORCE! What ever happened to trying to work things out, talk things over etc. In a situation like this, a little budget coaching is really what is needed, not a divorce yet! Seems to me the main thing lost in this world is people simply can't talk anymore. Whether its marriage, politics, anything at all, people don't talk anymore and try and honestly change or fix things.

I totally agree! It seems most people these days just give up rather than trying to fix their issues, expecting them to just disappear, I'm pretty sure the couple who have been married "all their life" has had their fair share of issues but worked it out rather than just quit.

I'm not going to say divorce usually it's not a good idea in most cases however in this case his financial spending is putting them in jeopardy and it's not being responsible. Also he put that expense over rent. I would say that's an excellent case for divorce it's not something that usually changes especially when it's that much of an expense

I see why you don't have joint accounts

Many couples spilt the bills and keep money separate. It stops the fighting about money. In this case OP needs to get rid of him.

Exactly. She deserved it for splitting money with him and using it against him.

Ew, no. Keep it separate. Besides, combining their money wouldn't fix the underlying problem of him spending money on stupid shit before getting all the bills paid. Would only make it worse, if anything.

Is the husband someone you'd want to have access to your money in a joint account?

He probably didn't BUY a radio. He probably put it on credit or other "payment plan". I'm gonna assume he probably only paid like 50-100 bucks upfront. Also, why the hell does this site log me out every day even though I have "Keep me signed in" clicked?

I hear you! I read a comment that I want to give a thumbs up to, and I have to look at some black guy waving his fingers at me and some bullshit about logging in being gluten free, so I log in AGAIN, and it sends me to the main page, and I have to find the comment AGAIN, just to press thumbs up.

... Why bother splitting the bill in the first place? You two ARE married, right?

Tell him this month's rent is his Christmas present.

First of all, $1700 is a ridiculous price for "a radio" unless he is a ham radio operator and you are talking about a TWO WAY base station. If this is the case, YDI for marrying one of our kind, lol.
