I don’t think I could stay in a marriage if my partner spoke to me the way you describe. Talk to a lawyer first. You may get more alimony without a job. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I'm also a SAHM and am supported by my husband. The amount we spend is by mutual agreement. If I was to buy a gas guzzler, he'd sure have something to say about it and I would compromise - just as if he started spending a large amount of money on other things which I view as non essential, I'd be having something to say and he'd listen. Thing is, while he may be the income earner, our joint goal is to fiscally sensible to set us up for a solid retirement. I realise that this is probably just one of a heap of issues you both have. But this business of refusal to compromise on both your parts is selfish and toxic to the marriage. You don't NEED a gas guzzler. But nor does he NEED you to have a Tesla. These are just wants on both your parts which could easily be compromised...but you both refuse to do so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Every day I come across electrical SUV. You can even get an enormous long 4X4 SUV Cadillac! They even make Electrical Hummer! If that old paid off gas SUV of yours cost $500 of gas a month, why not put that toward an electrical SUV? Link to post Share on other sites
