Argument with husband who is right?

A guy from the cable company came to the door and was offering a promotion that would add a phone line to our cable and internet already installed but the promotion would save us $30 a month for a year, so I accepted it. Now my husband is furious and says I should have asked him first, what do you think?

    If you have your finances split & you're responsible for phone & cable then you're right. If they're combined and you budget together then he's right. If you normally handle all the finances and he's not involved then you're right. If he does them and you're not involved then he's right. What I'm saying is that every situation is different. Whichever one of you went against the norm for you as a couple is the one that's wrong. Personally, I wouldn't consider it to be something big enough to warrant an argument.

    I think it is good. I switched our phone the cable company and have been saving money ever since. The phone works just as well as ever.

    Yes...but what happens after a year? More often than not there are hidden costs or additional costs tacked on after a year with deals like this.

    Remember, these people aren't in the business to lose money. Especially long term.

    Read that tiny print in the contract. After you sign you may find breaking the contract incurs a penalty fee.

    Your husband is right...

    My husband did this too me several months ago.. I was furious. Because now boxes are breaking down, our line never works, we are always having the cable go out.. It always..always..ends up being more work that it sounds..

    You know that saying right.."If it sounds too good to be true..it probably is".

    Next time you're at the grocery store call and ask him every time you see an item on sale that you need. After about the 5th or 6th time when he gets pissed simply point out you were doing what he asked. If he doesn't get the point he's an idiot and your in for a long haul.

    It's not like you went out and bought a car or a house with out his permission..you did the right thing it is saving you $30.00 a month for a year just stay on top of the date it ends because that's where they get you...He's upset about something else..try talking to him to find out what is really bothering him...good luck

    When my husband gets like that, I involve him in EVERY household, budget, child rearing, and grocery decision that has to be made every day, he usually gets the point. Neither of you are wrong, your just both being insensitive- he wants to be included and you want your decisions respected.

    Your husband has a point. Do you really need a phone line? there are lot's of little details. You should make joint decisions.

    I think you should make these decisions together as marriage is a partnership. Neither one of you should be making decisions like that on your own.

    I am truly confused. Have you asked him "why are you angry that I saved us money"? What is it about the change that is upsetting him? Did you have to change your phone number?
