Harmonious relationships in the family depend on many parameters and sometimes, in order to maintain peace, one has to make an effort.
All girls and women dream of meeting their prince, who will be their support and encouragement.
However, as often happens, after the start of living together, some character traits emerge that were not noticeable before.
The most difficult situation is with a greedy spouse. Here you can observe various manifestations of stinginess: from unwillingness to pay for any purchase, to counting not only your salary, but also the money in your wife's pocket.
Scandals and showdowns begin, which, ultimately, can lead to divorce.
Therefore, if your husband turns out to be greedy, you need to immediately begin to fight this before his actions become accepted as the norm.
How to understand that your husband is greedy
It is difficult to understand right away that your husband is a miser, but it is possible. The most important thing is to carefully monitor his behavior, actions and attitude towards you and your loved ones.
• First of all, such a man will give gifts, but only to himself.
• In a restaurant or cafe, without waiting for a choice, he starts joking about prices, putting his companion in an awkward position.
• All purchased items and gifts belong to the cheapest category or were sold at a discount.
• There is not a single conversation where he does not touch on the topic of excessive spending.
• Refuses to exchange large bills in any situation.
• Does not like to attend interesting events or cinemas, preferring to stay at home in the evening.
If at the beginning of the relationship there is hope that marriage will be able to change such a man in the future, then over the years it becomes clear that greed only increases and increases. Therefore, you should not delay with this issue and begin to gradually change the situation for the better.
How to Move a Stone: Retraining a Greedy Person
A greedy and stingy husband will not change overnight by a magical wish; in order to change something, you will have to act cunningly and use all your feminine ingenuity.
Every time he does something, even if it is insignificant, when he gives you something, you should definitely praise him. If you show him how grateful you are, exalt his nobility and generosity, then soon he will like it, and he will want to repeat his gesture and give you something else.
Show your husband that you are not a rare spendthrift and can manage the family budget wisely and judiciously. All this will calm your spouse, give him a sense of confidence and he will not have to worry about the family's money. Accordingly, the feeling of greed will gradually disappear.
When your husband constantly scolds you for big expenses, just stop dealing with the family's financial concerns. Let him take everything upon himself for at least a month and see how much his thriftiness lasts when it's time to pay utility bills, loans, fines, and buy his favorite food.
If the process of change is slow, then resort to a woman's trick for a while: do not tell the real cost of the things you have purchased, do not reveal the true size of your salary.
