Should I push for truth or just leave it?

DP has a credit card. He used to tell me what he'd spent on it but then I found out £50 had been spent that I didn't know about. I didn't really care to be honest, not my debt but his reaction intrigued me. He first tried to make out that it was a mistake on their part and then told me an outright lie that it was my christmas present. I left it but still don't know what it was spent on and he seems happy that I've "forgotten".

WWYD?

No it's definately nothing for me and as far as I've seen, he's not bought anything new lately either.
Its the lying that has got me suspicious and the fact that if I bring it up he tries to change the subject.

Without knowing where it was spent its hard to say. Maybe its something he's embarassed about for some reason.

What was the name of the place where it was spent ?

Consequence · 05/12/2010 22:28

No idea, he won't even tell me that.

Well how do you know he's spent the money, if you haven't seen a statement or the goods purchased? How do you know this far before Christmas, that it wasn't a gift for you?

What is it you suspect, deep down? If it's what I think you fear, are there any other clues?

scarletbegonia · 05/12/2010 22:34

How did you find out about it?

Seems odd that he would mention it and then refuse to tell you what its for. Was it exactly £50, could it have been an emergency cash withdrawl, I never have round sum amounts on my card, it does seem a little suspicious.

He was showing me a text he'd got from the bank saying they'd upgraded his credit limit. What he didn't mean to show me however was the part that said how much he'd spent on it which was roughly £50 more than he'd told me. (not sure if it was exact). He ummed and arred and then made a big performance out of saying he'd remembered but couldn't tell me what it was, it was a suprise Hmm made out that it was a crimbo present and then dropped himself in it later asking what I wanted for christmas. Its NOT an extra present, he doesn't DO suprises or extra presents, I can guarantee it.
No more clues other then the fact that he changed his bank password. Not sure if that was to keep me out or to for genuine security purposes.

Unless he has previous form for gambling, drug/alcohol addiction or another expensive hobby he has promised to spend less on, or for breaches of monogamy, you do need to butt out of his business.
Do you have form for snooping, controlling and monogamist paranoia?

That's a pretty strong reaction to a perfectly reasonable question by the OP - why shouldn't she wonder about it if her dh has previously been open with her. Even more so as he's been evasive when questioned, I don't think insults are called for.

clearly it's something embarrassing for him him.. but probably not something earthshattering. If it was an OW, and just £50, he would have paid cash.

i'd suspect something more like: fell asleep on the train and copped a £50 taxi fare home.. bought himself new games for xbox...
