I don't know what to do

Recently we had a huge amout of home repair that had to be done. My husband's idea to do. All of this had to come out of our pocket. We had planned to have the repairs covered but not for the workman to keep his checks and cash them all at one time. This came to almost $10,000.00 out of our checking in one month. After our automatic deductions were covered by the bank we were overdrawn about $500.00. I told him we need to stay home a few days and not spend money we don't have. This made the baby come out I guess. He still insists on going out "just driving around" and gets upset when I suggest that we just stay home and watch some tv or play on the computers. I love my husband and he loves me but when I ask him to stay home until the 1st of the month he acts like I'm locking him in a cell. I try to get him everything he wants. I know I'm not perfect and might not show him every second of the day how much I love him, but sometimes I don't know what to do about having to tell him no. He gave up so much to be with me and I feel sorry for him. I know he could leave me and go back to his family and be happy. Please....does anybody else know how i feel?

I honestly think there is a bigger problem. Did you not set the checks down in your register when you wrote them? It doesn't matter when the recipient deposits the checks. The money is not yours once the check is written. My estranged husband, after nearly 30 years, still does that. All the bouncing checks are beyond annoying.

In the future, to eliminate petty fights, you need to keep your check register balanced and follow a budget. A budget works best if you and your husband make it together and agree on how money will be spent.
