We don't retaliate shop. I figure it probably all works out in the end.
If DH comes home and 'informs' me he needs to spend money, I am more likely to interogate him into submission. Or alternatively discuss it like adults and make a 'joint' decision (although, he does sometimes try to load the decision on my shoulders, so he has someone to blame if he 'cann't' do/spend whatever - but I refuse to be a party to that, and won't let up until he reaches his own conclusions). Really depends on what mood I am in and how 'reasonable' DH is being.
I did some retaliation shopping on my honeymoon! lol.
XH decided against my better judgement that he would go to the casino and "show me how to play black jack". He lost $75 in 5 minutes, so I went and bought a new pair of jeans
It seems unfair that we scrimp and save and go without only for them to spend without even thinking about it
