This is an issue that one married woman found herself dealing with after her husband insisted that she provide him with the down payment for a new truck. The couple had been discussing buying one after issues with her husband's car led to him driving hers, but she felt that this particular choice that he wanted to make was financially irresponsible, so she refused. This led to an argument, and she wondered if she was being unfair.
