Back to 600 calories today. The boyfriend is a bad influence on food, and I need to get stricter with him. Also since I got a good tax return he keeps wanting me to spend money here and there and it adds up. I think I spent $100 this weekend. Had a mini freak out on him last night about it. We've moving in a few months. I need to keep the money so we can pay some deposits. His solution was for me to get a higher paying job. LOL, like that is going to happen in this city. I'm a student without a degree, no place here pays higher than minimum to students other than call centers and they don't work for my schedule.
Have to finish 2 essays by Wednesday. One is weeks overdue, but I hope to get it done today. I started it last night, but didn't care enough to finish it.
Its so tough being the "responsible one" about money in a relationship. I'm the UNresponsible one in mine. My family was SO bad with money and instant gratification. It has taken years (married 13 years) of a good influence (husband and his fam) to soak into me and have some results. And I'm still easily influenced to make the wrong choice. If you're moving in together, I would advise you have a talk about your money values and get on the same page before hand. Money is the worst fight causer in most relationships I swear.

omg is he paying for things? cuz he should be... >:(
ReplyDeleteWe normally split who pays for what 50/50 but he was out of a job for a few months and is catching up on bills so I've been paying for most things, and it's starting to break me finanically, as fuck he eats a lot. And smokes a lot. I freaked out on him a few weeks ago and he got it.
ReplyDeleteI plan on sitting him down tonight and telling him he needs to get his fiances in order like I am trying to. He said he's not the best but he's not to worried. I need him to worry, and plan. And understand that cigarettes can't be bought 6 times a week, nor can we have supper then order in another one. It just won't work if I'm the only one worried about money.
Wow it sounds like he just doesn't get it with money. It's good that you're sitting him down to talk to him about this. He needs to understand the stress is puts on you! Stay strong hun I hope it all works out!
ReplyDeleteI know that girl who's in that thinspo, jesus so weird.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you just need to take a deep breath and chill out.
Remember, its your money, you work for it, not him.
