I'm a sensitive and emotional person which I hate as it make life so much harder than it already is. Well, he raised his voice to me earlier in regards to our cat. I took our cat to the vets today and I told him that they told me that it'd cost $670 to get some dental treatment done. He then told me if I paid them and that they're trying to rip us off, ugh!
I saw how bad my cats teeth were earlier! Well, he was to busy lecturing me to listen to me when I said that I set up a care credit plan, but that I didn't pay them that amount. I just told him that we can make monthly payments up to 6 months with no interest. He then kept on asking me if I paid them or not, ugh! I already said no 2 or 3 times, so I was starting to get upset and annoyed. I do get stressed out easily, and he tends to make a bad situation worse with his judgements.
Well, to make things worse, after I picked up my cat, I accidentally got into this woman's car with my cat since I wasn't paying attention. Our cars do look similar, lol. Thankfully she didn't freak out. Then when I came home, he was outside with our other cat with the door open. Before I got inside, the cat that just came back from the vets jumped out of the carrier. It's old and broken, so I'll have to get a new one for sure. I was scared that he'd run outside and run away!
My husband didn't do a thing to help! He blamed me for not putting down the carrier! What? I was startled, and most of us don't react to things right away when something catches us off guard, right? He's like a robot at times, ugh! He then told me that I "freak" out to much and that I need to work on that. He also denied raising his voice to me. So, did I overreact, or is he being an insensitive jerk? Our cat is a house cat btw, and he wouldn't last long on his own outside at all. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding this wether it's good or bad.

Just to add my two cents in here, I do agree that vets overcharge way too much and that they often find things "wrong" with pets just so they can get more money. I have several people in my family who worked at veterinary offices and after hearing the horror stories and the scams and the overcharging and flat out lying to customers about what their pets "need" done, I have to agree with your husband that a lot of times vets do this. $600 for dental care on a cat? I would be pissed too. But if you feel your cat really needs it and if you can afford it, then I guess go ahead with it...just be aware that many vets overcharge and they look for ANYTHING on your pet to charge you multiple hundreds of dollars for, sometimes even saying your animal "needs surgery" or "needs this medication" or "needs this or that" when really they can go without it...just my personal experience with those places.
