writes:Spent some of my savings. should i tell him?I am currently saving and in a relationship with someone I have talked about buying a house with, nothing is set in stone but he knows my goals and how much money I have saved. In the past I have had trouble saving and racked up some credit card debt which i have paid off but I never told him as I didn’t want to and it was something personal to me, he ended up finding out and got quite upset. Anyway our relationship became rocky and we split up and i decided since I have been saving for so long not to care and went out on a shopping spree and bought some clothes- ended up costing a bit but I still have savings its not really a drama because it was nice to buy myself something and at the time i thought oh well i wont really need this money so quickly now. However he doesn’t know i went and spent this money and is under the impression with this month’s pay i will have $7000 which in fact I won’t. I will be able to make it up and throw more on my savings to build it up again so i don’t really see howTelling him is going to do any good. It’s just if he asks I don’t want to lie. What would you do? Bearing in mind it is my money not ours in a partnership.34 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer.Additional Detailswe are now back together working things out. the spending happened when we broke up.

 You weren't even together when you spent the money, so technically it isn't really even any of his business. If you're worried that he's going to be upset over it, then you have bigger problems then spending YOUR money.

 Its your money; its upto you how you spent it and when you spent it.
Tell him the truth. He doesnt have ownership of your money.
