[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 737347, member: 1550"] I am embarassed to admit this now, but when I was married to ex he was beyond frugal. He was cheap. I had to go to a family event and the rest of his family dressed to the nines I didnt care about dressing to the nines but for once I didnt want a $20 Walmart dress that his well off family probably.laughed at later. So, with total intention, I bought a nice dress at Carsons (I think thats where) and told him I had bought it at Walmart. By that time I worked nights and no longer let him see my money or bank account, but he still yelled at me if he thought I spent too much. Fortunately since he wore clothes that were ten years old (no exaggeration) he had no idea what clothes were nice or from Walmart so he just nodded and i wore it and even got a few compliments on it. The next day I packed it up with the receipt and took it back to Carsons because I felt guilty and I got my money back. He never never asked about it or probably even noticed it was gone. I do t know if it gets any worse than what I did. I tend to have a guilty conscience so this haunted me for a while. I felt like a shoplifter lol. [/QUOTE]
