No way in hell. I don’t care if you didn’t have kids and still sit at home and didn’t contribute financially. You are married it’s a team effort. And if you don’t have a “real job” you need to start keeping track of your hours and bill him. He’ll change his attitude quick.

Nope nope nope nope NOPE!!! I’m so happy my husband doesn’t have this mentality!!! I believe a deep and long conversation needs to happen and he needs to try and be open minded about your feelings in this situation.

People are soo quick to say this man has bad credit, he can pay off 5 by the time he pays it off, etc. It irks my nerve that people don’t take into account he might be opting to pay it off in more than half the time some of these hypocrites can.
I know my loan was for 5 years (to heighten credit score), my husband paid for his truck in full. Some people can do it.
This man can be making that a week, every few days, or he can be digging them into financial ruin. But she gives little information and its like she wants everyone to be upset at him.
He might have just paid off a pos truck that was on its last leg and the financial institution got him into brand new one that he’ll again, drive until the wheels fall off.
We don’t know

I will just say i am a sahm and.my husband would NEVER do that. He doesn’t even spend more than like $50 without talking to me first. I have never asked him to do that either. Actually sometimes i think its silly the stuff he asks me if i mind about but i absolutely love that he respects my opinion that much. Your husband is wrong. Y’all are supposed to be as one so he shouldn’t make those kinds of decisions alone.

He is wrong. The money he brings in is for your family. That is a big ticket item! Return the truck!!! He still needs full coverage insurance $$$ it will be well over a grand a month!! Seems very selfish of him to buy that. That money could be used to buy a home, pay down debt, send you to school, investments, but no he bought a truck?? WTH I would be pissed!!!

With my boyfriend I tell him to do whatever, as long as Bill’s are paid, food is on the table, our kids have everything they need, and all basic needs are met, i don’t have an issue with it. As for the “not having a real job” part. It IS a real job. Being a SAHM is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. He doesn’t get it because he’s never done it. Maybe he should stay home with the babies for awhile to see how hard it really is.

10k down AND 900$ a month payments? Plus the insurance? Wtf?! NOOOOO. How?! Like seriously, I would be fuming. And I don’t think there is a truck out there that is worth that much. That’s damn ridiculous!
You need to set down and jot down your work load as a stay at home mom…. Than look up what you would be making an hr per job (dish washer, maid, laundress, cook, nanny (in home 24/7)etc! Nanny, alone can be worth big $$ and the employers is suppose to pay taxes just like any other employer). Darl’n you are worth more $ staying at home caring for YOUR children than your man can afford to pay in one year… unless he is working in a high skilled dangerous job and makes great money! Still he should feel the money sting on his pockets if he had to pay you or someone else to do the job you do! Look into it! Put it in black and white and let him study it for a while!
Go drive it into a ditch or of a cliff lol

If the only reason your upset is he did without telling you you can express your feelings that you would have liked to been included but if he can afford a new truck without it affecting your budget then maybe he a new truck is a good thing dependable transportation is important and maybe he didn’t think you would have been open to the idea. But is it worth fighting about really in the big scheme of things you have a man that works hard count your blessings and enjoy seeing the man have something he works hard for and be grateful.

I’ll play devils advocate here. To be fair, he makes the money. If he knows he can afford it then that’s his right. Yes, just because you’re a stay at home mom doesn’t mean he should not say anything beforehand, but at the end of the day it’s his money and as long as he knows what he’s doing responsibly then he has a right to buy himself something nice… But that’s my opinion. I don’t see what the deal is long as Bill’s are still paid and everything is fine.

The audacity. No, you should always have solid communication about everything, even the little things. But to have bought a whole ass new ride without even thinking about asking for your input seems really inconsiderate. Reguardless of whether you make the money or not your a grown ass woman and should always be included.
Red flag. He should have discussed the buy with you earlier. He feels that you’re not his equal since he is the earner.

Doesn’t deserve your time consideration or effort because he damn sure ain’t showing you none. That mofo be cleaning his own clothes washing his own dishes and cooking his own meals all on his damn self because he don’t wanna give you none of the perks of stay at home mum so he don’t get none of the perks of go to work dad. Do they not realise this is the trade off when the get with a women. It’s not our job to do anything for them but raise there baby because if we didn’t who would. Nothing is for free and you just spent our paycheck by your God damn self. Fuck that guy he is everything wrong with toxic masculinity. For going to work and providi g for the family you helped create while she literally grows it and makes it makes it a functioning member of society with out anything but a few good times from you. I could literally count the amount of times I was allowed a sleep in because “I just worked 6 days straight!” “Try two years with no sleep you inconsiderate walking knobhead!”
Noone deserves it… you don’t. He sucks.
He’s definitely not a team player. The fact that he thinks he can just do whatever and make big purchases and not talk to you about it cause you don’t work is a big issue. Sounds like this relationship needs a lot of work.

In my opinion, if you guys can afford it and all of your bills are taken care of then so be it. He earns the money, he has a right to spend it. maybe he didn’t want his other vehicle to lose more value before trade in and was worried about mechanical issues and wear on it.
But if everything else is taken care of, I dont see an issue

That is totally unfair! It is a partnership! If he thinks what you do has no value, let him stay with the kids and keep house for a couple of weeks! Better yet, call around and find out what all the services you provide would cost him if he had to hire someone to do them. Then go out and buy yourself a brand new outfit, and get your hair and nails done without telling him. It would cost a fraction of what he spent, and would make you feel a whole lot better! You deserve nice things too, and if he didn’t have to ask, neither do you!

It is a bit rude for him to not talk to you about it, but he is the bread winner, he is paying the bills so it is ultimately up to him.
First off, being a mom IS a “real job” whether you make money working or you stay home with the kids.
Next, absolutely you have the right to be upset with a purchase like this! If he’s “allowing” you to do things for yourself with no questions asked (hair, spa day, shopping, whatever it may be), then MAYBE I could see where buying smaller stuff like tools or electronics or whatever without talking first would be okay… but not a big purchase that requires a large monthly payment.
I always try to put myself in someone else’s shoes so I can see it from their point of view. I don’t know your situation or the condition of the other vehicle but maybe he thought doing this was okay because the new truck would be more comfortable or something… hopefully that helps?

It’s disrespectful as fuck to not have that discussion as a couple before doing it. He was obviously thinking about it, nobody drivers by the dealership and make a purchase randomly unless they have an issue.
10k down and $900 a month seems like he got screwed or his credit is shit…I would never and have never paid that for a new car or truck and my husband would never do that either. With that being said knowing my husband wouldn’t pay that much for a new truck if he did come home with a new one I wouldn’t be too upset because he deserves to have something he enjoys and loves. But my husband would also never go behind my back and just make a huge purchase like that either…im sorry ypu are going through this…I was a stay at home mom for 4 years and I know how frustrating it can be when things are said like that…
The man has to have transportation. He’s paying for it,so it should be his decision…

I think under No circumstances should anybody come home with a brand new $900 a month truck!! Plus $10k dropped on it without first discussing it with their spouse. On top of all that, just got one paid off!! Wooooo weee!!
Well I’d be more concerned that as the homemaker, he thinks you have no worth. Get out and get a job, and when he complains about the childcare and maid cost, remind him of how worthless he told you you were. Paying those bills will be a blunt reminder of what you could make caring for someone else’s children and cleaning their house.

Bill him for your jobs as a nanny, cook, cleaner, driver, teacher, and nurse and see how quick his tune changes. You DO have a say in large purchases like that because you are his wife, his life partner. If he didn’t want a partner, he shouldn’t have gotten married. He is now, though, and should respect you by talking to you about these major decisions. My boyfriend and I aren’t even living together, let alone married and he’s talked to me about getting a new car. He respects and values my opinion, advice and experience. Your husband needs to show more respect and appreciation for you.
