Vent: Guilted into something

Smuches4u

I'm really getting mad at someone for guilting me into a corner.  I feel like I'm being pushed toward a purchase and I'm getting the impression there's resentment on the other end if I don't.

There's a valid reason why I don't often buy myself treats and when I do they are clearance items or with a coupon or GC.  There's a valid reason why I scour craigslist for things my family needs.  Sure the thrill of a good deal is exciting, but if I had a choice I wouldn't be doing it.

I want to be supportive, but I'm about to snap.  I'm sure this person is only seeing a skewed viewpoint of my excuses because of several recent events that on the surface may seem like we could spare a few, but in reality, those things were planned out far in advance with careful budgeting.

Uhg... that doesn't sound good.  Anyway way you could suggest/offer something else?

I've tried sharing the information, but no one else is biting, which is why they keep pecking at me trying for a glimmer of hope.

I think for now the point has been taken, but I'm really upset by it.
