He won’t even replace things in the house that are worn out, broken and very unsightly.
My husband and I are both in our late 60s. We’ve been married about six years and we both have very decent retirement funds, with him actuallyfinancially secure with lots of money put back. We split the bills and groceries, including eating out about three times a month, and we take a small trip a few times each year.
It would be nice if he reciprocated or even offered to spring for the next time we eat out, but he rarely does. When we were dating, he didn’t seem so tight, but that certainly changed. I love him very much and know he loves me, but I am very frustrated and feel so let down. I don’t want to give any ultimatums. Any advice for my situation? -- Stingy HusbandSit down with your husband and express your feelings openly. Mention that you appreciate his financial savvy, but also explain that you are feeling undervalued. It’s important he knows that this isn’t just about the money but about shared responsibility and mutual generosity.
