Today, my husband asked to borrow money. He couldn't pay his half of the rent or utilities this month, but he did manage to buy a $1,700 radio. FML

Problem 1: Why are you splitting bills and money up if you're married? Maybe that's why he feels like he can do whatever he wants with "his" money. Gotta share it all in a marriage.

Hopefully, for $1700, the radio has one of those cranks to generate power. Then, you guys can listen to cool tunes when you’re homeless.

-face palm- Uh, people, just because you married someone doesn't mean that you should necessarily make everything jointly owned- if the marriage fails, it makes it a bitch to decide who gets what. Plus, with some disorders that affect impulse control- or with people who simply have a history of poor impulse control or spending sprees- it's actually suggested by medical professional and finance professionals to keep accounts separate so that the spender can't get a hold of ALL of the households money and leave it without money for daily needs. The type of person who goes out and buys a $1700 radio on a lark, BEFORE paying mandatory bills is an excellent example of the type of person to do this precaution with.

Wait....you're married and he has to borrow from you? wtf? I thought marriage was supposed to be a partnership. ydi
