Am i being unfair?

[HelenEmjay]

Dp wants to buy himself the new XBOX - its £300! Our house needs quite alot of work doing to it and i have been working in a half finished kitchen with plaster hanging of the walls for almost 2 years now through lack of cash to finish it! we are in the process of getting a loan which once all debts are sorted will leave a few hundred - now he has TOLD me he is getting the new XBOX!!! would this make you cross too or am i being a miserable cow!

lol thats a good idea munz - power cut! i like it! i think i must be stupid or something as he makes me feel really guilty about these things but its not until you right it all down that you realise whats what!

hon my DH tries it - and (this is gonna make me sound like a right cowanne) but he'll clean upstairs in the house/I do down stairs, then he goes off for a hour as a 'reward' and plays on either the PC or PS2 and will then come back down, but i'm quite firm on the whole console in the front room thing - like u I have no intrest in it. on the absolute rare occassion (severly rare) he's playing downstairs/watching somehting I don't want to I read a book, then when the programmes finished say well u've had urs I want x on for me. seems to work for us.

Helen..sounds thoroughly selfish.
Give him a boot up the arse and tell him it's with love from me..all the way from Turkey.

(What the hell is an X box anyway? Some computer game thingy??)

No your nor being unreasonable its the other way around he's the one out of order.
Compromise maybe and say once all the definate work is done in the house then you won't bat an eyelid if he gets one

What is it with men and game consoles with mine its the playstation he won't even let the kids near it. Wouldn't be surprised if its boobytrapped.

LOL moondog will gladly boot dp up the bum for you! - will give him a kick for everyone here! XBOX is just like playstation or gamecube.
SLG - i wish i knew, my dp also goes nuts if the kids go near his toys! - theyre like oversized kids!!!

well helen, even my DP agrees that your DP is out of line! he says it's silly to have all those old games and consoles sat there, they are money wasted.

Thankyou LB and your dp! im glad its not me!!

why doesnt he sell the consoles that he doesnt use and put the money towards the new xbox?

why do men NEVER grow up?

How would he feel if you took £300 and bought a handbag or a dress with it? Or had a spa day?

I'd throw that out, just to see his reaction.

Oooh what a great idea expatinscotland! i could do with a beauty day thats for sure, hmmm think dp would have such a strop he'd wet himself!
