It is when B is financially impossible and/or will lead to huge problems later and/or is only motivated by short-term desire which won't be satisfied by a passing whim.
It's not a gendered problem, although of course it looks like it when the other half of the couple is demanding The Thing and you're the one saying "no".
Or vice versa.
Some actions are strategic, and some are whimsical.
Whimsy is welcome and enjoyable when there are no strategic consequences, but not such a good idea when the consequences are obvious, predictable, and negative.
- watwut 6y agoJust because you are the one who said no does not mean the other one is whimsy or buying stupid things. It really depends on whose non essential wishes are getting more funds in familly overall, whether there would be a strategic problem and so on. But if your partner is annoyed so much over how money are spend, something is very wrong. Because regardless of who is right or whether split is fair, you are building long term ressentment problem. The attitude of "I get to have last word them partner not liking it is childish meltdown" destroys relationships.
