You sound very upset and betrayed by this, Doh2007. I hope you will be able to understand why and eventually talk with your H about it. But that doesn't make it easier now. (((hugs)))

Was the pact you made with your H about spending money without checking with each other? If so, it does sound like you didn't feel your H "checked" with you sufficiently before making his decision to buy concert tickets for 2 days in a row. I can see it would make your own efforts to be frugal seem invalid. Money is the source of a lot of problems in marriages. Communication can help. If it were my H and he came to me and said, "my favorite band is coming to town--you know how much I love them. I know we're trying to save money right now, but this is really important to me and I really want to see them twice in a row. I'm going to try to help make up for it by not going out to lunch for the next month," I wouldn't feel bad at all. But when that communication piece is missing, we can feel betrayed and walked on.
