Today I found out partner lied to me about buying a gym membership. He's been mentioning he wants to join the gym. He has a habit of going through fads and spending money on something and then not bothering with it again. One example, he decided he wanted to do hillwalking. He started researching, picked a location, set a date and bought him and DS some hiking boots. Unknowingly he'd booked it on a day that the dog was at the vets so he decided not to go because he wanted to go with the dog. He is still to arrange another day, the boots are gathering dust in the box and this was 8 months ago. As with many families money is tight and I am not keen on wasting money on unnecessary things like this.
He went to get some information at the gym, he'd already looked online and seen that you can pay monthly on a 12 month contract or pay and go with no contract involved. Knowing how he is with new interests I asked him not to sign up because he can pay and go for a while before he makes a decision to commit. He agreed and went. When he returned he said he had booked an induction for a few days time. Then he mentioned that he had been given a card to get in which I thought was strange but didn't think further. Fast forward a couple of days I noticed some paper on the floor that I thought was for recycling, it was in fact a contract for a years gym membership.
He's at work so I text him about it. He said he's sorry, he didn't want me to worry. I'm really upset he lied about it. He's always been really truthful in the past and that was something I really valued. He asked me if I was angry and I said I was upset and that I always valued that he was an honest person. He now asked if I think i'm blowing it out of proportion. I don't think I am but I could be...?
