Should he have told me ?

[coldday82]

Not getting on with my boyf at the mo
He's very down and low over recent job loss
He's taken a job he hates and he's not told me stuff over money in the past.
Lately I've just found out he's deposited £500 on bitcoin
I don't get bitcoin but he seems to however he always has been drawn to get rich quick ideas and nothings ever got him any money !

Hard work and saving with no secrecy is all I'm asking
Am I wrong to be upset he hasn't told me ?
We live together saving for a house so where's the line if he should of told me or not?
I think he should have - I wouldn't do anything where moneys left my account without telling him but I think that's down to respect but I'm on here to get your views peeps

I warned against Bitcoin on another thread. It's a Ponzi scam. And falling fast. Whether he gets out now and loses a few hundred pounds is up to him. But if he learns his lesson well that's something.

Very similar.

Then I’ll tell you the same thing I told that person - your partner is a selfish wanker. Get rid and don’t have kids with him. And kiss that £500 goodbye.

The problem is your asking the wrong guy.

Sounds very similar to my situation but no that wasn't mine

Sounds like you and types like you.

However the advice as always is - if this isn't working why flog a dead horse. Just fucking end this relationship.

There are other reasons why he doesn’t sound like a catch but I’m not on the same page as most of the other pps on this. I think it depends on how you arrange your finances. If you’ve got a joint account and you’ve preagreed no spending over £x then I think you’ve got a right to be angry about this. If you’ve never discussed finances (over and above saving £x per month towards a house) and he’s paid his share of the bills then I don’t think it’s your business how he spends his spare money. I’d be furious if my DP told me how I can or can’t spend the money I’ve earned.
