My DP and I have very little money. My Gran recently inherrited allot of money and sent us all £1000 of it which we are spending on French doors. My partner would have preferred to save it (he hates spending money) but I said I wanted to spend the money on something we could enjoy and we do have some savings already.
This weekend, my Gran also offered to send us some money so we could have a few days by the seasside. Not much, just enough for petrol and a nights accomodation and some left over etc. I haven't been to the sea-side for years and have been dreaming of us going with our 15 month old so he can run around on the beach and see the sea for the first time. My DP basically didn't want to go because he feels to proud to spend her money. He would therefore have a horrible time. He got very angry and upset about it and after accusations of 'hen-pecking/emotional blackmail' I eventually I gave in and said that we wouldn't go. I phoned my gran to tell her not to send the cheque. I'm gutted and could bearly look at him this weekend I was so upset. Have since apologised for this but I still feel upset.
Am I being a total child about this? Should I just let it go and keep the peace? Opinions please...
