Help Debts

Posts Tagged ‘computer component’

My husband loves computers. He likes to talk about them, help people with their problems (say on forums and such) and keep up with the best technology.

Then thing is, once you buy a computer component, it literally is 1/2 it’s worth when it arrives at your door-step. New and better things come out all the time.

My problem is, he lies as to how much he paid for an item. I’ve never given him reason to feel he needs to lie. I’ve never told him that he CAN’T buy it, but he also knows we can’t afford it either right now.

So, after a few weeks of new packages at our door stop and new components being installed, I finally get the bill… it’s OVER 0! WTF! He knows we can’t afford that… even if it’s on credit accounts [paypal buyers credit, and newegg.com credit (which I cannot close – because they are in his name).

I don’t know what to do, besides blowing my top off. We’re trying to pay off debt, and he just keeps adding more!
why would he hide and lie like that to me? When he knows I’m gonna see the bill later? I’ve never given him reason to feel he needs to lie or hide… and have never jumped on him for buying stuff… but I don’t like he feels he needs to lie! What can I do?
no, he’s not cheating on me… or hiding other bills. It’s just a matter of him lying to me… then even trying to lie again when I ask him why he lied… It makes me feel like he can’t trust me, or respect our financial situation. We’re not rich… and I am trying HARD to pay off 2 credit cards and medical bills. I just find it rude.. mostly since I’m his wife!
