im that way.. but in retrospect you can't do that all the time.. you have to take her out sometimes and waste money.. thats part of a relationship.. otherwise your being a bit too selfish.. like im 19.. i had 50 bucks on me.. we were at the store.. i bought her some roses, chocolates, and a card.. the smile on her face was well worth it.. realize its just paper man.. and that the person you love is another human being

my husband is also like that and it took getting used.but that doesnt make me happy at all. the funny thing is he spends a lot of money on himself and and very stingy when it comes to me and his son. he is slowly changing but it hasnt happened overnight.when it comes to buying clothes for me and his son he refuses to give me money for that when he buys himself stuff he buys the most expensive.eg i once asked for 100 bucks to buy some clothes for our son and i and he said he didnt have any to spare.then he went on to buy himself a 100 $ pair of shoes a 50 $ shirt and 50$ perfume.what is the. that is the most selfish thing i have ever seen. the problem is i am a hsewife and it really got to a point i felt i should get a job and leave him. its like we are two different families a poor one and him the rich one.anyways i am now actively looking for a job that way i know i will be able to provide my son with all the luxuries i want him to have.its just not a satisfying relationship and he doesnt seem to realise that

Personally, as long as he's not ultra stingy...yes, I can be happy, especially if he's saving up for something big...like buying a house for example.
In my marriage, my husband is the bigger spender of us two and this is the reason why we have our own separate accounts, plus one joint acct. We both work so my husband not spending on me is NOT an issue with me, although any kind of frivolous spending is just ridiculous anyway.

yes she can be happy if her husband is her emotional strength.money is just materialistic and a wise women will understand why her husband is so keen on savings.i mean savings are done to preserve wealth and security for those bad times and it is mainly thought of in a family b'coz the needs keeps increasing day by day.so i think ur husband is a practical guy..and i feel u should understand him.

i'am the same way first thing yall should do is have a joint account to pay the bils any leftover money from each of your checks is yours to keep or split if there is only 1 bread winner in the house with that said you cant always save or always spend there must be a balance i usually pick my times to splurge

yes you can because my husband is very money conscious also, but it takes a bit of time to get used to it, you should have your own money maybe from your own job/work so that you do not have to depend on him for all your needs, is there a reason that he is so worried about money? is he frightened of being poor or loseing his home or something like that? you should ask him what makes him be that way, maybe it is the way his family is.

That is a tough one. Psychology experts often agree that a person that is really tight with money is the same when it comes to affections. Money is up there with sex as a false God. Sounds like he is a slave to money and needs professional help.

Well, at first you will try hard to understand his nature but, human is still human, there will be times where you will want to break free from all those "dont buy-save more" situation.
My advice is: Go and earn some money. He cant control your money, can he?

I can be. I am a practical person and would consider getting what I need than my wants. If I married him and knew him to be like that in the first place, then I have accepted him. He will definitely get soething for you when he knows it very much needed.
