Im pissed off my husband bought a corvette?

I would be really pissed off if my husband made a big purchase, like a car, without consulting me. He would be pissed at me if I did the same. Especially since he's saying that it's for your kid - surely he should have talked to you about this first. You should decide together whether or not a car is appropriate for your kid, and whether you gift it to them, get them to save and contribute, what kind of car etc.

Sounds to me like your husband bought himself a car and has made up a lame excuse that it's for your kid because he thinks then you won't bitch about it. You should definitely bitch about this.

That car is obviously not for your child and you have every right to be annoyed at him for making a large purchase without consulting you, especially as he insists on you being careful with your spending.

I would be mad too.

Completely normal for you to be upset, especially when he is always onto you about buying yourself small things that don't cost a lot, then turns around and blows $10k on a car that might not even be worth that depending on the overall condition and work it needs. It's also very irresponsible on his part since it sounds like you guys don't have that kind of disposable income.

This sounds more like a financial gripe than a Corvette problem. Depending on your financial situation 10g can be a lot or pennies. Did he spend his, your, or our money on the car? If you can't answer that question then that's part of the problem. Even in low income households I always encourage a little from each paycheck go to a personal fund so you don't have to ask permission to buy something you really want. Our values are different and he may see little value in clothes, if they cover your body then he may not care if they're new or in style. I bet he did tell you, if he's like most car guys I've known he's been talking about getting His Car, in this case a Corvette, for the last twenty years or so. How much have you spent on clothes or things he sees little purpose in for the last twenty years. If you don't have personal savings/money I would suggest you start. You both need some room to make a purchase you want when you really want it. That said if it's going to affect paying the rent or power bill then it is wrong.

I would be pissed off too. This is what I would describe as middle age crisis.

You have the rights to be annoyed.

Have sex in the corvette

A suggestion: My wife & I have an agreement that we cannot spend more than several hundred dollars on anything without consulting each other, unless its an urgent issue or emergency.

Such situations might be if I'm away from the house and she needs to call a plumber, or are traveling and flights get canceled and one of us needs to buy a new airplane ticket, etc. to keep a critical schedule or for safety (Her brother & I once evacuated her from the edge of an active and expanding war zone 2 days before her scheduled flight out - as if the war moved her direction there would be no flights out and she would be trapped).

We each maintain our own cars - so we do what's necessary on our own there.

But, for the family budget - we must discuss anything over a few hundred dollars.

House decorations...? I can’t imagine how much money you’ve spent over the years to make yourself happy and he buys a dope ass whip that will actually have resale value if taken care of and you’re mad? You can’t sell your TJMAX bs to a blind person. I’m pretty sure though there’s a few blind car collectors.

new or used? be more specific

he coulda spent 80 grand for a new one or 3 grand for a shitty anemic 70s version

That’s a sexy car, your son or husband is gonna get mad bitches in that thing

How much did he spend?

He should have talked to you about it even if he's making the money since marriage is a partnership.

You didn't respond, do you both have your own money? You seem to be obsessed with clothes, I could go to the thrift shop and get a whole new wardrobe for $250 yet it is not hard to spend that same amount on one outfit. I can also remember my brother getting up set when I bought my first car with cash because I had saved a little at a time, he had the same opportunity but elected to spend his money as he earned it. Did your man take it out of your pocket or did he save his money and use it? Lots of questions or information you don't include. My ex used to spend their entire paycheck before they got it, I ended up spending mine on rent, utilities, and groceries. However I would put a little away each check and yes refuse to buy things or spend money for something's they wanted. They never stopped wanting. When I bought a big screen TV out of my savings they had a fit. So devil's in the details. Are you the real spender?

Its fucked up that he has issues with you buying things like clothes, but...im not a big fan of corvettes, however, I do like to drive fast. I worked in a transmission shop with my boyfriend and I got to test drive a 90 something 6 speed manual transmission corvette, and holy shit, that thing was a beast. I was up to 60 mph in about 2 seconds and in 3rd gear. Im surprised I didn't get pulled over for speeding. Thats my story. 😁

It does sound like a midlife crisis type thing with your husband though.

I'm split on this one. I think it's perfectly normal for you to be pissed off, however I think none of us really know whether it's justified or not without being personally involved in this situation.

I think the reasons you give may well be resonable to be justly pissed off, but perhaps he really did buy it for your kid, and perhaps he's had conversations with your kid about it and thinks he deserves a reward. Alternatively you may well be right and he's just bought it for himself.

you jelouse of a sports car?, is not like your man is going have an afair with it...have sex with it...
