Not a Happy Woman

Janet, maybe try pointing out to him that keeping the house up to date is also a wise investment?

I'm trying Tink. We did talk for a little bit, but he's not real good at discussing things either, he always gets defensive and I try not to sound accusing. He said he was willing to share, but we'll see. Time will tell.

Janet what Tink mentioned about inheriting property or money belonging to community property in some states. Where I live inhertance money or home belongs soley to the person its left to. Not to the spouse.Every state is different.

I am sorry to hear this Janet, you are married a very long time, your husband should include you in , as to how both should invest or spend this money. Whether the state you live in sees it that way or not. You should be entitled to a say, its not like you just married and will take off with his money. I hope he changes his mind and lets you spend on the things that you need. Good luck.

Hey Janet, you want I should come beat some sense into him for ya?

I'd do it if I thought it would help!
Instead I'm gonna put you on my prayer list... your man needs to open his eyes and see you for the wonderful lady that you are and start treating you accordingly.

I agree

Well said Tink!

Thank you ladies. I don't want you all to think I'm trying to go spend all this money he inherited. I know we need to invest some for our retirement. I just thought a little of it could go toward new carpet in the living room and some kind of wood flooring in the family room. I mean, it's not like I go out and buy the most expensive I can find or anything...and our rooms are not oversized.

I never in my dreams thought you ladies would start talking legalities....LOL I don't like arguing....so I usually depend on "what goes around, comes around."
