is he stingy or am i fazool karch?

how do you know? i always want to buy stuff, either for me, or family, or him, or even his family i always think of things to send. he however, doesnt. either for himself or anyone. ok so its someones bday he will, he will and can be generous at times, but i dont know why i feel guilty everytime i want to buy my own mother something, i feel like i need to explain. i shouldnt feel bad, neiother does he say no, but he does kyun leri ho, kis liye, all the time, he never has happily said yeh go buy ur mum whatever, i did say once when we were living with them, that we should also do grocery shopping, he said do it then…however he didnt openly say we should do it, i feel as if he doesnt want to and im making him. he never says to melets buy ur sis/mum/dad/bro etc this unless its a bday..

my dad has all the latest gadgets, machinery gym eqipt, he never uses it, however for his bday i wanted to get a foot spa, i know he wont use it, but when my husband said kyun leri ho, he wont use itand instead pointed to something that was £30, i felt like he was looking a get out clause for buying anything expensive,

i dont know, i could be someone who likes spending, maybe im a typcial woman, however i feel like i need to explain purchases or explain things to him, albeit he never asks for one, or even insists hes joking.

mountain out of a molehill?

is he stingy? or im wrong?

sirf us ko qadr hoti hai paisey ki jo kamaata hai .. thas what my elders told us .. so maybe .. its the same case in your sittuation :hmmm:

Hey may not be stingy....he could be just more careful about how money is spent (especially if he's the only one who's working). And that can a be a positive quality....after all....there is an upcoming baby to think about. Just because he doesn't take the "initiative or lead" in suggesting what you should get for your family/you/your friends/his family........doesn't necessarily mean he's a tightwad. Could be he trusts you in handling these matters. And the only reason you have doubts...is because you assume that you should give him an explanation when he never asks for one in the first place. That said...it could even be your own fear. We don't live with you....hard to say who is wrong or right. Easier said than done but pick your battles and learn to let some things slide.

Re: is he stingy or am i fazool karch?

you're fazool kharch.

still holds true.

Re: is he stingy or am i fazool karch?

I would never buy my dad something he wouldn't use.
And yes, you value money only when you work hard to earn it..... I'm not stingy with money but I spend it only on useful things, rather than get something I/my family doesn't need.
Secondly, apni chaadar dekh kar paaon phailaanay chahiyein, I've even bought $10 stuff from Walmart when we couldn't afford much.... its the thought that counts, not the price of the gift.

I don't blame him, you'd hit the roof if he was buying stuff for his mother that she never used.

Re: is he stingy or am i fazool karch?

There is no point in buying gifts the person won't use, and when it's for a family member you should know better.

If this is a concern, why not talk to him about a monthly budget for these kinds of things?

This ^ The good thing is one of you is a saver and the other is a spender. Trouble is when you get two of either one. Working out a budget is probably best. And you should probably talk this out as it might fester and just turn into a huge fight later on.

According to how I spend my money, I'd say you over spend.

When you're always buying stuff for people, you are not giving him a chance to think about buying stuff for other people, because you're already doing it. You can't blame him for not telling you to buy stuff for them.

I can understand your feeling to have to explain, even if he doesn't ask for it. You are probably aware that he is not a fan of you buying stuff all the time, without him ever saying that explicitly. That is what makes you conscious whenever you buy stuff and so feel the need to explain.

I can't say if your husband is stingy because I don't have enough info there. But it doesn't sound stingy to me.

Re: is he stingy or am i fazool karch?

wow.

I thought I had real problems.

Oh wait.

LMAO!!
