I had 9 dollars on a debit card of mine in which i entrusted to my boyfriend, well he went to the store to buy ice cream and he asked me how much was on the card and i told him i wasn't going to tell him because i wanted to save it and well he went and spent a part of it after the fact that i had told him that he wasn't to spend it and that he didn't need to know how much was on the card. So because i wouldn't tell him he went and bought gum to find out how much i had on the card. I found out and i asked him if he spent any money and he said yea and i got upset and he proceeded to aruge with me about it. Would you be upset over this incident? Personally i wasn't so much mad at the amount he spent but the principle of it he went against what i had told him. and so he broke my trust.

Welcome to myLot rocko5150! I agree that what your boyfriend did was wrong. If you asked him not to use it to buy anything than he should have respected that and not gone against your wishes. However, why did you give him your card in the first place? If you don't want him using it, then there's absolutely no reason for him to have it.

Well i gave him the card because one day i thought i had lost it and he felt that him having it in his wallet would solve the problem of me losing it. Needless to say i have it back and i am not about to give it back to him. I thought that we had an understanding and trust and well i was wrong which i thought wouldn't happen cause i trusted him but now a little bit of that is gone and he now has to work to regain my trust again if that is possible for him to do.

that's basically the reason why i dont want to have a joint account with my bf. as in NEVER. well, its because of the fact that we both saved the money but he apparently spend most of it... sucks!
he feels i dont trust him with money, which i admittedly said i don't. i dont want to hurt him but that's just how i feel and unless, he respects my perspective on money and how i deal with it, then maybe, just maybe, he can get my trust back!
