Dave Says: There’s No Fun in Dysfunctional

Dave Ramsey

Dear Dave,
My husband and I are both 25. We’ve been married just over a year. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and we have one baby. Because I’m home with our son and my husband works outside the home, he believes he gets to make all the financial decisions. He eats out and buys whatever he feels like but tells me I can’t do the same. He says getting to be at home all day and having things like television, electricity and air conditioning are my luxuries. I try to be understanding because he works hard, but this is causing real tension between us. Do you have any advice?

Dear Christina,
There’s just no other way to say this: You married a child in a man’s body. He’s treating you like a second-class citizen, and I’m truly sorry you’re finding out the hard way that your husband’s a twit. This is just about the most dysfunctional thing I’ve ever heard.
