Today, my friend joked to my co-workers that my kitty-cat of a husband was going to beat me for spending $200 on shoes. Later on, my rather large dog was so excited to see me when I walked in the door, he split my lip. Somehow, I don't think they'll believe me when I get to the office tomorrow. FML

Do better training with your dog and people will stop thinking your husband beats you.

If money is the leading cause for divorce in America now-a-days, why would you spend $200 on a pair of shoes when it will probably start a fight? It's called communicating with your spouse, you should try it.

33- Exactly. As I mentioned in another post, my husband and I discuss any purchases that are over $100 with each other first. If OP was 'allowed' to spend $200 on shoes without her husband being upset, I doubt the co workers would've joked about him being angry.

Key word in your sentence is "America". And at the moment I hear your economy is in a recession something chronic. Especially after Sandy. So money is going to be a cause for arguement. Before you start hurling shoes and calling me a dumb aussie, ive been dragged out to the shops several times by my missus and $200 is nothing. Ive seen pairs for $400-$500 in the lower class areas of Western Sydney. Everything here is so expensive. Everyones circumstances are different. She may be able to afford the extra $200 at the end of the week. Whats good for one is not always good for another.

68, yes, but for once no one was hating America. XD It's pretty much a fact that our economy sucks.

Kitty-cat of a husband? That doesn't sound vicious at all. It sounds rather cute! :D

My sympathies. Boy when Murphy bites, he bites hard. I've been in your spot. I was playing with my 70lb dog & he wound up accidentally head butting me in the face & gave me a fat lip & a bloody nose. Hopefully your co workers know your husband well enough to know better. Better yet, hopefully they've met/seen your dog.

Take it a step further and bring the culprit in to work with you.

Not a bad idea. My co workers didn't give me much grief because they had all met my knuckle head dog.

I would make sure to have the dog leashed so it doesn't attack her boss.Actually that's a funny mental image.

If you're living past your means, than you should know better. . . However, I really don't think $200 on shoes (plural) is that big of a deal if you use them vs them staying untouched in your closet. I'm not a shoe person but understand that if you work hard, you should reward yourself with something that will make you feel good about yourself. ie --weapons collection. :P

Exactly - I work freaking hard and commute 4 hours a day. I deserve to spend my money how I wish!

Hey guys - just a quick response: I bought 2 pairs of work shoes because I needed them and live in Australia where the economy is not dire. My slush/fun fund is quite high because Hubby and I are very good with our money. As for being wasteful - I'd say the $300 hubby spent on the SSF4 fightstick on Saturday arvo might be more wasteful than my purchase lol.

$300 for a SSF4 fightstick? What one was it? The only ones I know of are like $100-200 tops...

We're in country Australia - everything is expensive. I did exaggerate though. It was $300 including another game and a pie.

Glad to see there's a few of us who've been accidentally wounded by our beloved canines. I felt like a dumbass for days when mine head butted me in the face! Lol

I hear you. My American Bulldog has punched me in the face a few times and bloodied my lip. I work 12 hour shifts so sometimes he's just too happy to properly contain himself.

Kitty cat of a husband? If that's suppose to imply he's calm then you haven't met the same cats as me! They can be ferocious!

Probably implies that he's gentle.
