How Do You Handle A Cheap Partner?

He spends money on himself on the things he wants and pays no attention to even the little things I like and want.

Update:

It's not about wanting stuff. I have a good job and make my own money. I just wish he were generous and thoughtful with little things.

    First of all, the money in a marriage is supposed to be both of yours. Tell him that if he can not share his money with you, then you can not share your body with him. If you are not good enough to buy things for, what makes him think that you are good enough to sleep with?

    He is just being self-centered!!!

    If you are married tell him about this. If you are just living together, then it is his money so he can spend it as he wishes. So get yourself another partner or a good job and you can do the same.

    Have you expressed your feelings to him. My wife and I have all our money joint, and while I make the biggest part we always sit down to see who needs what so we can do a budget for that month.

    Well, dear...there is one way a woman can always make a point with a skinflint. And I need not mention to you your native power as a woman and how you can use that power.
