Husband says no to everything

Fed up... no to chickens, no to buying a family tent, no to a trampoline, no to a digital photo frame.

I have Christmas, inheritance and birthday money saved up...

I just wish my husband would be positive. I don't want to go ahead with any of the above ideas if he's going to moan, or work against me.

I should enjoy buying one of those things with the money I've saved but now I just feel anxious that he'll berate my choice or be really negative about it and make me regret it.

What do you think?

You should have got one and gone cycling with your mates. It’s good fun and good exercise.

Women get too enmeshed in their families you can do stuff yourself and without reference to them. Otherwise when kids go you will be lost.

I don’t have any friends of my own. DH is my best friend (been together since school). We have couple friends and we all do things together, but I’ve never been on a girly holiday; been out with just a group of girls or been on a girls spa day. DH has never been on a boys holiday and went on a stag do once, only to return home around 9pm after an hour or so, as he wasn’t feeling it and they were off to a strip club.

Before people think I’ve been forced into this position, this is not the case. Both DH and I are more than able to arrange our own nights out or events if we please...e.g. a works do....but we have a better time with each other, so often choose not to.

On the other hand I calorie count, so an hour in front of the TV on the exercise bike is very useful, but I agree, not all that much fun.
