Nightout costing £250

[redandwhite1]

Why do men think this is ok? We are struggling at the moment and he's gone out and spanked £250

Really??

Internet banking shows pending payments which unless the club/ pub sells drugs at the bar means it's unlikely to be drugs

Could he have paid for a meal or drinks for everyone with his credit card, but his friends have given him cash for their share? I paid a similar amount for a meal last night but have got £200 in cash in my bag.

Sorry now see that's already been theorised!

It's more than possible to burn 250 quid on a night out with mates, particularly if you get into rounds and someone in the group isn't divvying in properly.

Plus, once he'd got properly hammered it's easy to be taken advantage of - it's not unknown for staff to start adding to the tab if it's card payments or he may have got generous and told them to take a tip.

Whatever the circumstances, I wouldn't blow 250 on alcohol - that's a couple of weeks shopping (3 if we're careful and the kids don't act like they've never seen food before!)

If you ever find yourself single again, try to remember that it's not men who think this is OK, it's some people.

You could, if you wished, have "shares my opinions on money^ as one of your top criteria for a partner.

Of course with every addition to your list of top criteria, you increases the chances of not meeting someone who matches up, but I'd rather be alone than with someone whose financial values were very different to mine.

How's it gone this morning OP?

Ha ha ha, I very much doubt Lloyds Bar are selling drugs or dabbling in strippers. It's a lot of money but as others have said cocktails for a group of people could come to that.

Did you log in to the internet banking just to see how much he was spending?

If he knows you can't afford it, then it's definitely not on! I'm a big believer of living within your means and that was something I made sure my boyfriend agreed on!
I'd be telling him he needs to make the money back, overtime if possible or he needs to get some of his stuff on eBay.

People saying is not possible though, it's so easily done. My max on a night out as been £200, I'm not a big drinker either and I'm up north! My boyfriend and his mates will have easily had higher.
Not all in the same bar though, that sounds like a boring night!!

Is he awake yet op? Have you screamed at had words with him ?

Sorry all!

So yesterday he apologised and said he never intended to spend that much. Rounds of shots, bottles of prosecco etc sounds like what happened. Also turned out to be about 10 of them

It's done, he knows he did wrong so got to deal with it I guess

As I said in my previous post. Sell his shit on eBay!

And demand a bottle of prosecco to yourself

I know he's acting like a child but that doesn't mean you have to treat him like one. If you are watching the pennies then he needs to have a plan to recoup the money he's frittered away being Mr popular. You having the face on obviously isn't enough of a deterrent, him selling his shit might be though.
