I gave my BF my debit card to purchase some stuff for the house. He went in the morning to visit his friend so they both went to the hardware store together. I guess his friend drove, they purchased the stuff then went out for lunch on my money.
When I was looking at the transactions I noticed and extra $32.00 was spent. So I looked into it and asked him through a text message "what cost 32.98?" He said "lunch." He also said he didn't think it was a big deal. "So if it was not a big deal why didn't you mention it to me" again his respond was "I didn't think it was a big deal" He did apologize and said he would leave the money on the table for when I came home.
I was kinda pissed that he would spend my money on lunch for him and his friend.
Did I over react? I just don't want to be taken advantage of.
I know he went and got this stuff for me when he didn't have to and did install the plug ins for me. But he does occasionally lives at my house for nothing.
Input please thanks

He's paying you back, I don't think this is a big deal. But, you seem very sensitive when it comes to him and your money. Something is obviously wrong, you should talk to him about it and set some boundaries. This probably won't be the last time money is an issue between you two unless something changes.

pretty expensive lunch :):) this time i would let it go. he was, after all, doing you a favor. he had his friend with him, decided to be the big spender guy and buy lunch for the both of them. yes, he should have mentioned it and repaid you without being asked. but us guys sometimes never think of the proper things to do. this is one of those times. of course if it happens again, well, buying lunch for a friend will be the least of his problems :)

i think of you're overreacting. In none of those circumstances did he ever ask you for funds. every time you ask him to pay you decrease back, he does. Do i think of you're overspending? definite, yet how is that his fault? He does not ask for it, you merely supply it to him. presents are unconditional; merely because you supply somebody some thing, you will no longer be able to assume them to grant some thing of equivalent value decrease back, that beats the entire objective of present giving. and you will possibly be able to't quite be mad concerning to the shirt, because you rather asked if he needed some thing. this is like asking somebody in the event that they're thirsty, then getting mad while they ask for a coke. i think of the real subject right this is which you're fearful that he does not such as you as much as you like him. you paintings that if he did such as you, he'd be spending extra on you. yet funds has no longer something to do with that. If funds is tight at his homestead, then how is he going to spend one hundred$ on a birthday present for you? If it bothers you that plenty, flow decrease back to going dutch. do no longer tell him 'i'm no longer procuring you anymore', merely verify you ask on your value ticket decrease back every time. and end getting him costly stuff. A birthday present can merely as plenty be some thing self made or stupid. You call him egocentric, yet watching for human beings to purchase you stuff because you do a similar for them, this is almost egocentric as properly. exceedingly if funds is tight in his family individuals.

i am 50/50 on this



did the friend spend gas money etc to run him around?

i think he should have treated himself and the friend to lunch, but on his OWN money

i think you handled it correctly, but, in future, give him the money for anything he is buying for your house, not your card

Eh I mean it wasn't right by doing that without your permission, but he DID do everything for you AND he's paying you back. Maybe he learned his lesson?
