Again, it's about control, also it's about not being accountable. | I remember the would no problem with me spending over 200 hundred dollars on a single date night with food and drinks (mostly her mixed drinks) but if I spent 200 dollars on replacing my three year old cell phone I was accussed of "pissing money away" on junk.
It all about control.
