My partner doesn’t understand it when I tell his that I can’t afford something.
She calls me cheap and tells me that I just don’t want to buy it for her.
Then he will pout for a while until I finally give in. The last couple of weeks he had been complaining about the oil furnace in the house. I knew that the two of us needed a new oil furnace and I was waiting to find one that the two of us could afford. She told me that he didn’t want just any kind of oil furnace, however he wanted radiant heating for the house. I looked into radiant heating when I first started looking for new heating for the house. I knew there was no way the two of us were going to be able to afford to purchase this style of heating. After 2 weeks of hearing his constant nagging about radiant heating, I broke. I told his that the two of us couldn’t afford it on just my salary. I left my partner think that if he was willing to get out of the home and get a task, the two of us may be able to afford radiant heating. I knew he was angry at me because he walked away separate from saying a word. My partner was a college grad and he had his master’s in teaching. I understood his wanting to be beach home when the twins were pre-school, but now they were in hour grade. Two weeks later, he told me that he had gotten a task teaching in the same school our boys were in. At the moment it was substitute, however he was pretty much guaranteed steady work since none of the instructors had had any personal time off in more than 3 years.
