Please help me out here as I'm confused,wanted a horse for ages now, I had them growing up and always said to my husband that I'd like another one, I've been looking at horse and pony ads with his knowledge and started buying bits and bobs, we went to a rescue centre and he encouraged me to ask about rehoming a horse from there, he's just told me we can't really have one, he said money's not the problem, he just doesn't want to be tied, he's encouraged me for over a year now and I feel that he's lied to me and it's hurt me and made me feel stupid as he's even let me tell friends about it, I got upset and started to cry, I have some money coming to me so he doesn't actually have to put his hand in his own pocket, we don't have a joint bank account and I get five pounds a week pocket money, he goes abroad twice a year with his friends, I've been upset all day, I just can't get around the fact that he's led me on and then let me down and he can't see why I'm upset, I feel so stupid and pathetic, he lied to me and it's as though it's nothing and it doesn't matter, we've had arguments before and he always blames me and will not apologise for anything, I know it's not the end of the world but I'm so hurt, he says I'm too old for all this but I'm only fifty six, I feel such a pathetic loser.
