Today, I gave my husband an expensive watch. The first words out of his mouth were, "You didn't use our joint bank account for this, right?" He then asked if I still had the receipt. FML

Sounds to me like you don't know your husband very well. You deserve it for not only being completely oblivious as to your husband's preference when it comes to spending money, but also for thinking that spending however much money amounts to "an expensive watch" was a good idea in the first place.

You'd think appreciation would be his first thought..

5, I don't understand you're point. The moron spent a bunch of money on the watch to begin with.. I'd say she's the one who thinks that spending a lot of money proves something. If they are struggling or even remotely right and she's out spending big money on a gift for her husband, then she's a moron. I would have to assume that, in this day and age, they probably are struggling.

Somebody scoop up Pentium 4. He's wise AND funny/sarcastic. Reminds me of my husband, girls! Stand-up guy.

Time to take The 5 Love Languages test. Sounds like you show love through gifts while he prefers to receive love another way.

He's ungrateful that she bought him a gift with his own money? If I took $100 from you and then bought you a gift with it, should you be grateful?

Hey, times are rough with gas sky high, the economy to shit, and although I'm black, presidents don't give a damn. They just wanna be in the White House.

Um...the government just gives incentives, but businesses can act independently if they want. The question is, why aren't the businesses working together to rebuild the economy? They have the power to hire people. A lot of companies are revenue positive but wont hire. The gov't/pres can only do so much about that. People/businesses with money are just hoarding money for whatever reason.

She never admitted to using money from the joint bank account.

paying with joint account means he has paid a part. I wouldn't want to put MY money on an expensive watch cause someone wanted to pay the other part as a gift

Even if I was rich, I would still be pissed if my significant other bought me something unnecessarily expensive that I didn't even want. Specially because if we are in such a relationship, I'd expect them to know that I would be pissed if they did. It's the kind of thing you learn way before marriage if you're paying any attention at all to the other person. YDI for not knowing anything about the man you married.
