Husband bought car without telling me!

A car is a huge purchase and he shouldn't have committed to it without discussing it with you first. Was he in on the thought of buying a bigger house this spring? Did he really think he could pay off a new car before spring or think that you could buy a new car now and still have enough credit to qualify for a mortgage in the spring? Men are silly creatures who don't often think things through before doing. Mine deposited one of those checks that you get in the mail. He didn't read the fine print where it said the interest was 33%. He ended up owing more than he borrowed by the time he told me about it. I had to use my pension fund to rescue him. I hope your husband and mine have learned their lessons. Good luck.

I think it is okay if he pays it in cash. If the act will cost as much as causing the family financial difficulty, I will definitely talk it out with him endlessly. Yes, a fight is bound to ensue, but what do I care? I fully sympathize with you and you are right, if I were in your shoes, we are already divorced by now. The most undesirable thing about divorce is the fact that children suffer from it in a manner which is way beyond description. I believe this is the main cause why some couples choose to remain together until the partnership has reached unbearable limits. Try talking to your husband coolly on the matter so he will not do it again in the future. Ask him to consult you always on important matters. It is unfair to the family if he decides to undertake anything which undermines the family.

Oh dear. this is very not good. Obviously, you are not a community property state or he could not have purchased it without your knowledge. Having said that, you both need to go to counseling. Your husband needs to find out why he buys things without telling you when you both have plans. If it is he is just truly selfish and does not care about your mutual plans, then you need to ask yourself, are you better off with him or without him? Good luck.

It is never ok to purchase a car without discussing with you in the first place. I think the parents should exercise a greater degree of care and caution once there are children in the family. A car is not a trifle thing, it is a big purchase, he should have consulted you. And why is he taking all the decisions by himself without consulting you. I think you should have a serious talk with him as to what is his problem.

I'd never think of buying any big ticket item without my wife being involved...He's wrong

I think he should had talked to you 1st about this. This is a big purchase and would affect not only you but the kids too! I am so your hubby did a stupid thing. I wish you and your family the best Stacy
