My partner and I are in our 30s (no children). We have been together about 4 years and live together/engaged. Throughout our relationship he has had his fair share of struggles with addiction/mental-health. Up until recently he was without employment for about 8 months. He was terminated from a decent paying role due to performance issues and he didn't have a lot of motivation to find employment sooner. I'm now the breadwinner and was carrying us on my single income throughout those 8 months. I was so stressed and we had to cancel our wedding. Anyway, I paid off my older vehicle years ago and it broke down a few months ago. My partner was letting me take his vehicle to work while he was home not doing much of job-search/chores etc. His vehicle is less than 5 years old and in perfect condition. Now we need two vehicles bc we will be going to opposite sides of town during the same hours. Since my vehicle is older and out of service, I wanted to trade it in and get something economical. He now also wants to trade in his vehicle (he wants a vehicle priced at $40K) which means we would have two car payments plus insurance/maintenance. I'm not supportive of this. He had close to 9 months off and has now taken a big pay-cut. I'm not comfortable having two car payments considering we live in a super expensive city (also his idea that took me so much convincing. we moved prior to him being termed from his last role). He's upset that I'm not supportive of him getting a new vehicle and says we can afford it (not without crazy sacrifice IMO). Can someone provide some advice? I don't know if I'm being too bossy or unreasonable here. thank you in advance truly.
