Having a pre-paid debit card to hide food spending from my partner

[jadeyxox]

So DH and I have a joint account for all our money (he earns more than me, but money has never been an issue with us) so we can obviously see what's being spent on the account.

I'll be the first to admit that my relationship with food isn't the healthiest, and I've always had an issue with DH knowing exactly what/how much I eat etc. Things like getting breakfast from McDonalds most mornings after taking the kids to nursery/school, or takeaways in the evening when he's working or out, or at the bakery.

I always got around that by buying a lot of stuff with cash, but with takeaway apps, and the pandemic with places going card only, I got a prepaid debit card from the Post Office that you can top up with cash, and then use that to pay at places or on apps.

I mentioned in passing to a friend the other day that I do this, and she seemed to think it was a really strange thing to do, and it's really been playing on my mind!

Thanks xx

That's exactly what I was like, especially as I had to wait for a little bit. I wanted to be sick when I had to get on the scales.

So happy for you! You should be really proud of yourself and I'm sure I speak for lots of us when I say we are proud of you too. Well done and keep us updated if you can and want to. Wishing you all the best xx

Well done OP! I'm glad you have a marriage where you tell each other the important things! Good luck for coming out with it to your DH. XX
