At the begining of this month my partner was a bonus from work. He will normally take some out of for himself and then get me the rest to put away in case of emergency. He took £300.
We have recently agreed that each month after bills are paid what ever money is left I will split and we can both have money to do what we like with. The only exception is if there is a reason we are short that month or if there are a lot of birthdays all together (For example, July we have 6 birthdays and we are a 1 income family.)
This month we had 3 birthday and mothers day. So when he asked me when his money was being put over I told him i couldn't this month because I had birthdays and mothers day to buy for and he had also had £300 so, he wouldnt miss this month. He suggested that if I gave him some money he would buy all the gifts for his mum and I wouldn't have to worry.
Well two days a go he told me he had forgotten about mothers day and spent the extra money and that he had NOTHING left. He apologised and told me that me and his mum wouldn't be getting anything for mothers.
I am so pissed! I don't care that I won't get a card or gift I'm pissed he said he would do something and he hasn't!
I have now had to dip into our emergency fund/ savings and make sure his mum is sorted.
I don't really think this is a question more of a rant🤣
