He offered to buy me a car. He just thinks I need a big *** SUV and I don't feel the need for one....
I currently have a car, we're just getting a new one.

Hey, if its your money, spend it on whatever. Tell him if he doesnt let you buy a car, you'll divorce him, sell your half of the stuff, and use that money to buy a car. That'll set him straight.

Its not very sad. In a collision with a car, people in a Big @ss suv usally are injured less then the guy in the car. Your husband prefers that u drive a suv so you will be protected by its superior mass in an accident. A man wanting to buy you a new suv is a problem that many people would like to have.

Pretty common.But it takes 2 to tango (argue). If it gets serious try to help each other out. Pretty sad though. It may be a financial thing that has your spouse concerned. However if your spouse just went and bought a car, would u approve? If so, well hey go for it. It might help if you bought a car that had features you both like. Good Luck.

That sucks.......arguments involving money are usually the number 1 reason couples fight. In most cases its because you each have different spending styles and neither one of you wants to meet that neutral ground. You need to calmly discuss how you both think about money and spending without interrupting the other and see if you can find a plan that you are both comfortable with. If you can't do this on your own then you need to get professional assistance since this can escalate into the area where you no longer discuss it and eventually resentment and divorce. My husband and I used to have very different money styles and fortunately we where able to discuss it and come up with a plan that we could both live with, and sometimes one of us will feel that the plan we have in place needs to be revisited and modified based on new goals, incomes, or needs. Good luck, and I wish you well.

Whose money would be purchasing the car? Not enough information in your question. Maybe your spouse is worried about repayments or the like. Keep saving.

Learn how to discuss things with your spouse, we are trying to buy a car. No arguments yet. Learn to give a little/take a little and you wont have major fights and agruments

That is really sad. It would be great if you could both come up with a way to calmly work things out. This does not stand well for a long term relationship. Good Luck.

Tell him you need the car, & agree to the spending limit & features you both want, together.
