do u ask or do u take

when u need money do u ask your hubby for money or just take money from his purse without telling him?:slight_smile:

Re: do u ask or do u take

In the first instance he should be the one offering some to you occasionally :snooty:

but if he isnt , dont just take it , always ask him first.. :@:

Re: do u ask or do u take

Solution for men: Keep plastic in your wallet, not cash.

Re: do u ask or do u take

We have a joint account, and i am free to spend as i please :snooty:… though i have my own accounts also which contain my inheritence/savings etc…

If you’re talking about taking from his wallet, then i don’t condone that… i have never taken from my hubby’s wallet, and in any instance; always ask.

Re: do u ask or do u take

yes always ask before taking money from ur husbands wallet. common courtsey shd be observed in marraiges.

Re: do u ask or do u take

yeh i agree, if ur gonna take money from his wallet, let him know cuz otherwise he might go out to buy something thinking he has enough money and he may not and then will get angry at u for going thru his wallet and taking money without asking/letting him know.

and as far as asking goes, u shouldnt have to ask at all, u should have ur own account or joint account set up so theres no need to ask him, u shouldnt have to be dependent on him for everything.

I always tell my husband before i take money from his wallet, so that he knows it. Or if he has his wallet with him, i ask him for money.

Asking money from ur hubby, i dont see that as being dependant on him. Because i know he wont refuse me, but give it right away.
And it makes him feel like a good and caring hubby :)

yes thats what i do coz if at any point in life he learns that i was pulling money out of his wallet he will be hesitant to trust me

Isfahan that is very well said ... I thought I could never explain it in words .. but you did it beautifully... :@:

ok, thank u :slight_smile:
now i feel cool :snooty:
jk

First you take some, and dont tell him. Than you ask him for some money, so that way both people are satisfied. He's satisfied that you asked him and you're satisfied cause you're ballin

Re: do u ask or do u take

uh.. ask him.. what?
what? hamara haq nahi ban ta on his money :mad:

Re: do u ask or do u take

^exactly. The way I see it, it's my money. Why would I ever ask him for my money? I already know he's very caring and loving since he has put my name on as a joint account holder.
And yes if u have to ask him for money then u r dependent on him. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to be dependent on him, as spouses we are dependent on our significant other for many things but I don't think it's wise to always have to ask him for money.

same here:)

Re: do u ask or do u take

He always hands me money himself, never had to ask. We have a joint account - and i spend however I want, and he can just look it up on the website :).. but i usually tell hi myself :)

Re: do u ask or do u take

I kind of enjoy asking for the money , its one of the things that makes me feel protected and looked after … :@:

although both dad and my hubby just hand it over to me when ever they see me .. I have my own credit and debit cards and yet i never use them … I love my hubby for all those times he quietly slips some money into my purse .. :cb:

Re: do u ask or do u take

always always ask.....always always
its not that he or she may mind...its jsut common courtesy.....i would like him to ask me if he ever needs money and not just go through my purse.... dnt be so dependant women..godddd.

well,to whom im gonna marry wont mind things like this for sure.:D

Re: do u ask or do u take

depends- it's a courtesy that drops with time as two people get comfortable around each other. I mean I can't see people that are married for 15 years still asking for permission to take stuff out of a wallet. I think my mom probably used to ask, but if she did now my dad would probably look at her weird if she says 'can I take a 20 out of your wallet?' He'll just say why are you asking- just take it.

I would say, "btw, I took x amount out of your wallet" so they don't get worried someone stole their stuff. It also depends if you are a frivolous spender and finances in the relationship are tight. But I'm pretty responsible w/ money so i would just take it with the "by the way" line. I take $$ from my bro's wallet all the time, and I just tell him I did and he doesn't mind, he does the same with me (although not as often)- we just let each other know so we don't freak out about stolen money. so it depends on the relationship and situation.

Re: do u ask or do u take

we hav a joint account as well so i don't need to ask but whereever i spent i always tell him afterwards.however if i need cash i do ask or inform u can say b4 taking it out of his wallet.
