Luckily for me, his MCP nature has mellowed over the years. It was bad when he was in his 20s. Now mid 30s, he is improving..

if he raises his voice again...i will walk into GUCCI to buy a bag.
not only that, there will be cold war for about 1-2 weeks.

It may be a good thing too.....drag him along regardless of window shopping or grocery shopping even marketing at wet market. The good thing abt him, he doesn't complain much going shopping.... :love:

i drag him to supermarket every sunday when kids have tuition.
we do not go to wet market...the one incident which made him angry was to buy a broccoli...the stall owner charged him $3+ for that pathetic vege (and it wasn't even organic)...from then on, we only buy vege from supermarket.
fresh chicken from a regular stall...pork from supermarket.

We go to the wet market for fish & pork, per trip stock 2 weeks worth of fish as my son is a big fan of fish. Most of the rest of marketing in the NTUC. It's possible for broccoli to cost dat much esp the Australia ones.

He was pissed bcos stall owner couldn’t decide on price of broccoli.


With so many tie-ups between banks and retail, have to remember which card for which place. My Isetan card has been with me for years…find prices of items there reasonable, unlike Robinsons which costs so much more. Isetan private sale when first started was really attractive…bought several prices of Burberry tops…not anymore now.

That fella applies for suppl cards for me when they either are free or enjoy 10 years waiver like Maybank.

I get supplementary cards for every credit card dh applied.

Of course he should apply supplementary cards for me since I couldn't apply my own. Even when we were dating he gave me supplementary cards because I told him it makes sense to consolidate points or rebates :evil:

Anyway I'm the one making payments for all credit cards. Dh doesn't keep track of his bills

Although dh raised his voice sometimes, it had never escalate into a shouting war before. I would immediately clam up & leave the room. Show over in a second.

The previous time dh raised his voice at me, I kept quiet as usual but sent him a sms the next day to tell him how hurt I was. He bought me roses as apology although he still insisted I was being too sensitive. I told him he needs to move to his mum's place if there is a next time. It's not an empty threat, I'm serious. And I left that bouquet of flower in the living room for 9 months as a gentle reminder for him.

[janet88]

That idiot raised his voice and it escalated…it was not difficult ignoring him but the unhappiness was there. But he will never buy roses as apology. He will try to buy food I like. But after buying the Gucci wallet yesterday, it felt really good.
