I don’t think he deserves a birthday gift ever again from me

I bought a bottle of Prada cologne for my husband for his birthday. It was about $150. He opens it up, looks at it, and says cool. The very next day while we’re in the car he tells me the cologne I got him was “mid grade” and he really wishes I got him the Gucci one instead. Then he proceeds to tell me about how his best friend’s wife always buys his best friend the super duper expensive ones (I’m talking $200-$300). Oh and it gets better. He also called me cheap because I bought my brand new Nike Dunks for 40 bucks instead of paying the regular $150 for them. So you’re criticizing me for saving money 🧐🧐🧐🧐

Am I being money shamed? 🤔

I’m pretty sure I need to throw the whole husband away at this point 😐

Throw the whole thing away, or be petty and spend what he expects you too(if you can afford too) so he can see what it actually costs. Im just petty though😅

UH. WHAT. Gross vibes.
Also, personally. Gucci is flashy I wanna flaunt my shit, while Prada is old money, quiet luxury. Like oh tell me more about yourself sir, ew. He sounds financially immature and insecure.

Ewwww wtf. And what is wrong with saving money?! How weird!

Is he 12? Petty behaviour

It’s giving sassy princess

He seems so ungrateful and immature.

Ewww why is he so focused on money and what someone else buys her husband? So what if the Gucci one costs double! There are some scents that cost mega bucks but the fragrance is rank! The cost of an item doesn’t always equate quality!

I would get that Prada back off him, sell it and buy YOURSELF something nice with the money.

His values and morals are in the bin. I would dash him in there too, so he can keep them company.

Mid grade indeed! Especially in this cost of living crisis! He’s damn lucky he’s got an expensive gift in the first place, some people are having to choose to eat or pay bills! What an ungrateful man. 😤

Oh, he is one of those brand snobs. Ick, there are more important things in life.

Questions

Hi so I’m a ftm and will be giving birth very soon. I just moved to New Orleans from Ohio so my family and my partners family does not live in Nola so they will be traveling. I’ve never experienced postpartum or even pushing a baby out so I don’t really know what to expect. I honestly don’t want have any visitors the first couple of weeks. But for the sake of not starting a fight I’m going to have them. When my baby gets here I feel like if you’re going to be here you should be helping with whatever I feel like I need and me and my partner shouldn’t have to pay for anyone’s expenses when they get here? My partners mom is the type to get here, says she’s going to help and then expects someone else to pay for it. She does things to the praise of things and not actually out of the kindness of her heart. I’m not trying to sound rude at all. Please help

genuine question…

Not sure if this is allowed, but I’m curious…

As a mum, have you found it difficult to make friends or find community outside of your existing circle?

Over the last few months I’ve realised how many women seem to be looking for connection, hobbies and opportunities to meet people, especially after motherhood.

No sales pitch here, I genuinely want to know whether other mums feel the same way.

Has making friends as an adult been easy or difficult for you?

I am in search of a job that pays like 18-20+ preferably a work from home job I’m currently employed at a restaurant and it’s one of the highest paying jobs I’ve ever worked I just want to be able to work soon after birth and not have to rely on some kind of childcare my first day is soon I’m very new to the area I lived in Florence until I was 18 I don’t have a computer at the moment but I can fix that I have no experience in the WFH field but I am very smart and catch on fast if anyone has any suggestions I am completely open to them!

Im 8+3, when did people tell work?

I feel so anxious about telling work. I didn't want to until further down the line, but due to my job I may have to, due to them doing certain risks assesments. I dont feel my Director will be understanding, as we are a new company and I am the service manager. We are just starting out and he is panicking about money. I have been in the role over a year.

Also ontop, I don't know how to tell him.
