DH Has treated himself to a gift as a treat for a special birthday he has coming up. However we have the following to pay out for:
*friends' wedding- travel, gift
*friends' birthday- fair distance away so travel and gifts
*a close relative's birthday (his side)
*various pet bills- grooming and vaccinations
*house repair- mostly just unsightly but fairly urgent as involves live wire
*various baby bits
It is my birthday too soon. Not a big one but we are foregoing a meal out now to pay for some of the other things. That's fine as I have found a deal for very nice place for his birthday and intend to get a very nice gift but feel that I could've got the item he bought if that's what he wanted.
I'll be on maternity leave very shortly so a little worried about making money stretch.
He 'gives' money to go into savings/pay for increased bills after house move but it just seems that half of it goes back out again and I end up stressing about spending anything including things I've gone months without like haircuts and new clothes (every item of clothing I have bought in last few months has been sale, charity or from gift cards)He has asked his parents to put his birthday money towards some baby items which were the ones I wanted (but head was ruling heart and I felt they were frivolous things).
My aibu is im getting stressed. Should I just relax more and live for the day?
