Hi ladies,
I tend to deal with all our finances, my husband had never been involved. I’m quite careful and seek out all the best deals etc. In April we bought a LayZspa, I can’t blame my husband as it was my idea, a treat for him and the grandchildren ( I can’t use it owing to the fistula on my abdomen ). Anyway, after a month when we had only used it twice ( awful weather) I had an email from my electricity supplier more than doubling my direct debit! I was horrified, it went up from £120 a month ( gas and electric) to ......£260 !!!
These things eat electric, LayZspa misled me as I asked the question and was told £7.50 a week but it’s much much more. I’ve joined a forum and it’s well discussed and seems we need lots more insulation but my point is, my husband doesn’t care, says so what we can afford it ( hardly the point ) and why should he lose out on this because I’m so frugal. Massive argument ensued, he became very very angry and to be honest I was shocked at his reaction. I think it’s unleashed how resentful of me and my illness he actually is.
Am I being unreasonable ? We can’t send it back but we can modify usage and get extra insulation, turn down when not in use etc but he is so obstinate about it all, it’s really upset me. I just know this is going to be a massive bone of contention now yet I just can’t talk to him and he says I’m fussing about nothing 😡😡😡
I cant fight him anymore but AM I being unreasonable? He says quite rightly most ppl spend far more on other things and we do nothing ! ( Holidays, smoking, drinking, drugs ) but hardly the point is it ?
Or is it ?
Honest opinions please. I am medically retired, he works part time by choice, not wealthy ( I wish) , live off pensions .
