I am in a long distance relationship and I only see her weekends and stuff, she has no access to my accounts or anything, but should I tell her that ive just spent £800 on a new computer for myself??

I didnt think what ramifications it could possibly have until just now!? oops :p

what ya reckon? :D
 
jesus, some people on this forum..

MAN UP

why should she know? joint bank accounts? i'm guessing no
 
If you haven't been going out long enough for your finances to be intertwined, then why the hell should you care? Spend your money on what you want.
 
I'm planning on doing it saved up £400 so far and planning on a purchase for myself but it will be cash and totally untraceable!
 
Dude its your money, does she tell you what she spends all her cash on I dont think so. If its your money and something you want then spend the money. Tell her you spent the money but more in the way of talking about how cool your new computer is not asking for permission or making sure its ok.... :p:p:p really why ask lol
 
its your money mate, spend it on what you like, but I would tell her in a matter-of-fact way how much it cost, get into the habit of being assertive (even is she is a bit annoyed) before its too late
 
She will get moody cos you haven't saved the money towards seing her, or yours and hers future (house etc)

She most likley will start calling you selfish for buying it, in the end you will feel so guilty you will be saying sorry for weeks.

Or maybe thats just my experience with long distance :p

Like everyone says, you work for that money, spend it on what the hell you want. It's no ones business but yours.

:D

Grow some balls indeed. My other half just accepts it and realises if she tries to tell me how to spend my money then I would go ballistic at her, as she wastes enough money on useless purchase:

'Smoking'

* Cough cough *
 
Keeping secrets is not the way to a succesful relationship. If she goes nuts about it for no good reason then I would question if she is the right kind of person for you.
 
how the hell is that keeping it a secret.

Oh, i just had 2 sugars in my tea instead of the 1.
I'm not going to tell my girlfriend.



Is that keeping a secret?
