So, for various reasons me and my husband have different bank accounts. He makes much much more than I do, so I just pay whatever bills I have the money for. I normally do not have hardly any money left for myself though.
Well, we've been having a lot of problems lately because of his excessive drinking and have been fighting a lot. My best friend wanted to take me to this nice store that's pretty much a grocery store for snacks to cheer me up. This was a couple nights after me and him had a big fight. When I told him I was going to go snack shopping he told me to take his card. I let him know I was planning on splurging because this place is fairly far away and theres alot of stuff I'd like to try and he said it was fine.
Well when I got there, there was wayyy more stuff that I wanted to get than I thought. I knew if I was using my money I wouldn't be able to get much, but he had a good amount left after bills, so I figured I could get some extra stuff. So I called him for a couple of the things I wanted to make sure it was okay, since some of them were fairly pricey, and after like the 4th time I called he told me to not worry about it, I don't need to call him to ask, just get whatever I want and that it's his way of apologizing for being so mean to me lately. So I did exactly that and got everything I really wanted. For the record it wasn't actually a ton of stuff, it's just that most stuff there is pricey. When I got home and he asked how much I spent, I told him about $250 and he flipped out on me, saying that he didn't mean I could go that crazy and if I was planning on spending that much I should of told him. I didn't know it was going to be that much until I checked out though, it was only a few bags of stuff, its just everything is expensive there. I told him sorry but I did tell him I was splurging and called him about the more expensive items ($40 cake, $15 jar of jam, $25 cheese), and that he spends way more than that on his booze each week anyways, but now hes pissed at me. I talked to some of my friends about it and they said I shouldn't of spent so much just because it was his money and not mine, but he said to get what I want. AITA here?
Edit: since it's been mentioned a lot and I was asked to add it to the post, it wasn't what people normally consider snacks. I got stuff like vegetables (pearl onions, small colored potatoes, etc), some exotic fruits, spices and fresh herbs to cook with, a nice bag of coffee beans, and other non essential groceries to make meals or snacks with.

Ignoring the whole story, who the fuck can justify 10$ on a loaf of bread. You have to be crazy to think that's okay.

Have you ever had brioche bread before? I bought a giant freshly baked one for $10 befor and it was the best bread I’ve ever had.
I made panini pressed grilled cheese with it and it crisped up with a light sweet shell.
The woman in that post is insufferable tho lol.

Rather just buy 2 pizzas. Or a bunch of frozen pizzas.

I agree with both opinions.

$80 on the expensive items to $250 total. This was nothing more than a great big "fuck you" on her part. Yet she plays it soooo innocent. She doesn't say a word about putting items back when she heard the total bill.

"It isn't the fifties anymore. It isn't -his- money, it is -shared- money!"
Oh, okay. Thanks for reminding me why getting married is fucking stupid.

I seriously can't believe how she equates, 'while I don't bring in as much money as he does, I cook the food for both of our bellies'. As if that is worth the 5k difference a month..

He let her use his credit card and told her not to worry.
He knew she is a woman.
So he is a fucking idiot with no right to complain.
Case closed.
[–]fortuitous-bold0 points1 point2 points (0 children) | Copy Link
He specifically said not to worry and should have gotten suspicious after the 3rd call.
I’m not saying spending $250 on some bull5#!+ is right, I’m saying he has to hold himself accountable for it.

If what she says is entirely true - and we only have that to go on so let's do so - then no, she's not the asshole. He is a bit of an idiot for just saying 'spend whatever' to a woman though.
You can't say 'Spend whatever' then whine "I didn't mean spend whatever". Well say what you mean then, especially to a woman as they have selective hearing at the best of times.
MGTOW all the way but I'm not siding with the idiot.

I don’t know but I could feel my blood boiling. Entitled is all I saw on this post.

Hmmm bit a toughie that. Personally, I think there's been a shipping error and now I'm currently overstocked on wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubemen, and that now I could pass the savings on to you

This wife cant seem to see that her husband might need some cheering up? Not her?
[–]hakoonamatata90 points1 point2 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Some of those comments make me wanna throw up. Isnt that what the fucking feminists wanted? Disgusting filth.
That whole fucking comment section is basically just a "heres why you shouldn't get married."

"I hope he has a lot saved because if he drinks this much he can kiss his liver adios
That way she can have some money when he kicks the bucket."
I kid you not, this was one of the comments...
Who cares about his health? As long as the whamen has more money because of it he can die for all I care! /s
