To be angry with my DP over this?

A year ago, Dp and I agreed to to start seriously saving money each month, to put towards a deposit with a view to buy a property at the end of this year.

We both earn fairly good money, easily cover rent/bills/travel, and we pay equal amounts towards these things. We are both left with the same amount each month, and both agreed to put x amount each month aside. We each have our own account (although we both put money into a joint account for rent/bills etc)

He admitted to me yesterday that he has saved nothing. Not a penny.

When I asked why, he just said that his money disappears and he has no idea what he spends on it. He said he is trying to sort his money out and that he didn`t tell me before, because he knew I would just get cross about it.

I would have been a lot less cross if he`d just told me in the first place!

Weve been together for 8 years but only living together for 2. He has no debts that Im aware off.

Am I being unreasonable to be so bloody angry? At the moment I just feel like getting my own place!

So for a year he has saved nothing while you have saved lots? What exactly is he spending all this money on and why did he hide it form you for so long?

He should have a savings account that a SO goes into each month, as soon as he is paid. That can be his savings. Then he can spend the rest.

So how has he kept this from you for a year?
