The Difference in your husband and my husband Sharra is he doesn't tell me 'SOB" stories nor does he want to "make me sad" by telling me his problems. So he doesn't "hint" for money as I am assuming you are saying your husband did by telling you his "SOB" stories. My husband is working 13 hrs a day 6 days a week and bringing home about $400 a month to try and live on. To him, it means a lot to feel good about himself even though he is working hours for 2-3 people. Its not much is it Sharra and expenses there are not much cheaper than USA. I bring home $650 every week and work 40 hrs. Sharra compared to these women on here spending THOUSANDS and sending expensive gifts on a regular basis, I have done VERY LITTLE for sending my husband only $200 total over 2 years and he didn't ask or want to accept it then and it was partly for me too. Its really none of your business Sharra just so you can turn it into something negative...., but it was for an internet/phone bill. Sharra, if your husband was out of state and needed money and you had it, would you let him do without cause you feel he should be paying you? It sounds like you and I are two different people. I don't expect men to pay for everything for me. Im very independent and don't care to be lavished with gifts myself....Im not materialistic as it sounds like you may be by thinking it was wrong for me to send him $200 over a two year period.
