Having been in this position don't be shy about using coupons that get sent in the mail or in your local paper. Sometimes you can go to a nice place and they will have a special discount on their entrees. \n\nIf you need to get out of town and want to go somewhere check Motel6. They are not the finest in accommodations but they are clean and well maintained.\n\nThe most important thing is that you two are still together and he needs to remember it's not about the money. If he is good to you and is a wonderful husband, that is the best gift he can ever give you.

Perhaps it's in his nature to be obstinate. Tell him if he doesn't stop this behaviour, you're going to dump him. If he appreciates you enough, he'll stop.

Well thank you for being the more Christlike person in trying to do it all yourself and not giving up because your brother doesn't want to do the work.  But it does need to change because your brother should be helping too.  Tell him that charity is a virtue and that charity brings happiness.  I believe he would be more happy if he helped those around him . . . and himself.  Maybe reward him for helping out with something sometimes.  Give him incentives to do better.

I would give him money its much cheaper, besides give him what you think he deserves according to how he trets you

Sounds like he is using you now.  Before you cut him out of your life, get your money and ipod back!

He clearly knows that you are the one that is responsible and will pay him back.  Did you make any commitments to paying him.  Even though you didn't use his money?  Just a guess as to why he is asking only you.  Ask him to take payments, say 40$ a week

Sometimes when you are always the person that has to give an give and give and never gets anything back directly, it's almost just a needy way of being with someone and was almost a waste of time. If you helped someone out and even if it didn't work and you two still are friends, well I'd say congratulations. One of the few that had to give everything and still felt like they won in the end. That's pretty mature really.

He's probably just wating for a reaction from you before he decides to "invest" himself more to you.

you are involved with a very selfish individual. He is putting his pleasures and self before you. Get out now.

Well, waiting for him to offer money first would be your best bet.  If you ask before he offers, he might think you are a gold digger.  Hint to him you are broke and you need a jump start until you can get on your feet.  Or maybe borrowing the money would make you look more responsible.

I don't think I would complain about it.  Show your appreciation by saying thank you.  If you REALLY don't like them doing things for you, then stop it before they start it.  That is the bottom line.  Some women have it like that.  I think I would personally feel bad... but if they are good men send them my way, I have plenty for them to do for me.  But... I don't need their money.  They can fix my car, do some handy work around the house, take me to see Charlie Murphy LOL

He thinks that he's showing his loyalty to you.  Just tell him to knock it off.

Try to do something nice for someone else without being rewarded in return.

he's expecting something in return each time he agnolishes you.When he does something and you don't do anything except for smile,he regrets it but tries to play mr.cool,i know exactly what he's doing.He wants you to fall in love with him,or sleep with him or kiss him,he wants something more than just a smile.

Since you probably don't have a ton of money yourself, why don't you just take him out to see a movie or find out some activity that he really likes to do.  Another little thing that is always nice is when a girl brings you something like homemade cookies or brownies.

You are right and I totally agree with you. Maybe you can tell him exactly whats on your mind. Tell him that you pay your bills and he shouldn't be down playing the hard work you have been doing for you to afford nice things. He should be proud of you and letting people know he is with a real woman instead of making it sound like you are materialistic and distorting the fact. On the other hand he is probably little jealous too and he doesn't want you to get all that attention so when people compliment you, he wants to sabotage it a little. Just talk to him and make him understand that its not really fair. Good luck!

ALWAYS!!!! The way I see it...I got my arms full of goodies and this person has nothing.  I'm blessed to have what i have (which isn't much), what good is it to have it if you can't share it.  I cannot tell you how many times I've given whatever was in my pocket to someone sitting on the side of the street.  DC almost broke me.  There was at least 2-3 ppl on each city block.  It was heartbreaking.\nNow grant it, there may be shammers, alcoholics, druggies, etc out there, but who am i to judge anyone?  Even if they take the few bucks i give them and go grab a beer when I'm outta sight...it still makes me feel better about myself to give.\nI'm a strong believer in Charma too.  There's been many times, I've been down on my luck and there were ppl in my life to help me out.  I remember how humbled I was to have to accept their help but sometimes you have to tuck your pride away to survive.  I share my gratitude of those that helped me by trying to help others.  "what goes around, comes around" is such a true cliche'.\nSome of my "friends" scold me for giving money or food or whatever i have, saying things like "they're faking it" or "they probably got a mansion somewhere", etc...but again, like i said, giving to them makes me feel better as a person, so i do what I feel is right, regardless of what others say or think.\nThat is what i suggest to you....do what you feel is right in your heart.\nmarjenl72
