Ha.
I thought I would just answer all of the questions, as well as update what has been said since our talk about the financial situation.
So, he gave this big schpeil that night about accruing debt and what not, mostly because I want to buy couches. I want them for myself, because I can afford them. I'm not talking about spending 3 grand. MAYBE 1500...at the most. Really, I only want to pay like $1000. So anyway, after all that business....
HE BOUGHT A FREAKING MOTORCYCLE.
Not just any motorcycle, but a Harley.
When I finally saw him, after sitting around waiting on him all night long, I just pretty much told him that it was his money, and if it makes him happy, I'm happy for him. Only truly upsetting thing to me, is that it isn't a 2 seat bike...just one seat. Boo. So I was a little bitter that I can't enjoy the ride with him, but whatever.
THEN, I launched into him about the whole credit report thing. I told him, in no certain order that:
---go ahead and pull the report. I would rather him go ahead and cut me loose now due to the mistakes that might be on my report from 5 or more years ago, than have me sitting here 3 or 4 months from now, a hell of a lot more involved, and heartbroken because he feels like my "credit" is not up to par for him
---the whole conversation was based on me telling him that I want to buy a new couch. Never once did I ask for his help, simply stated that I wanted to get them. Not, "Honey will you finance my trip to XXX furniture store? Im\'m going to use your credit to get a ridiculously over priced living room set..." Psh. I want to do it, with MY money.
---THEN after all that big talk about acquiring debt when you really need to pay off other things, he had the nerve to run out and but a motorcycle? Scuse me? I don't have 3 unpaid credit cards to the tune of 13 G. Not to say that he doesn't make phenomenal $$, because he does. Most of his credit cards are from buying this house and the appliances/the work that was done rennovating. BUT STILL. Do not preach to me and then be a hypocrite.
There were a few other choice things said, but they aren't as relevant as those points.
His response?
"Go buy your couch, babe. I'm sorry I tried to dictate your money and what you should do with it. I do want to look at your credit, just to see what I am getting myself into, or to see what we need to pay off for you...because if we get married we accrue each other's credit. But I trust you. Go buy your couch, I'm sure you won't be stupid about it...and I have been treating you like you are foolish.
And now I see why guys like to make you mad...you're absolutely adorable when you argue."
and he kissed me.
So anyway, I've been looking at couches all day, he's been riding his motorcycle (when he wasn't framing out my closet.) Love it.
Oh Salsa...we've only been dating about a month.
