I understand your frustration. My husband is the same way. He rather i make the financial decisions. We talk about it but the ultimate dceision when coming down to paying for it is me. When he wants something...he uses the line "i wish we had some money"...and he says it in such a way that I know hes wanting it real bad. I answer..."how much money do you wish we had"...he would give me a figure and what it is he wants. I just tried to accomodate he wishes. It works with us. Just communicate. Right now our monies is good but it was very stressful when it wasn't so good.
