Ok so my fiance has the day off today, so she said that while I was at work today, she was going to go and use her free training session that we got for joining the gym. I told her to have fun and to learn everything she could. So she calls me after she is done to tell me she signed up for a year of personal training. She sees the guy once a week, for an entire year, and its $100 bucks a month. (Which of course is $1200 a year.) Well I was a little surprised. She asked me if I was mad, and I told her I was a little upset that she made a $1200 decision without at least talking to me first. She started to get upset and said she felt terrible and that she was going to call and cancel it. I told her not to do that, and that we would just talk about it when I got home.
Well here's my dilemna. On one hand, she really should have talked to me before she signed up for a $1200 deal. We are living together, and our income goes toward the same bills and expenses. We have student loans, car payments, rent, etc. Granted $1200 isn't too terrible considering she gets 52 sessions, but it is also $1200 that we could save, considering we are fresh out of college.
On the other hand, she makes 50% of the money. (Granted that will change before long when I start my other job, but as of right now she does.) And we aren't officially married. So if this is something she really wants to do, then maybe I have no room to say anything. I'm sure the guy is more knowlegable than me when it comes to training, especially training women.
I really don't know how to act. I'm thinking about suggesting that she call and ask the guy if she could train with him on a monthly basis instead of weekly. Perhaps this could be more affordable and be a good compromise. Thanks for any advice.
(And guys, I know I joke around a lot, and some of you might not take me seriously. But I would really prefer not to take a lot of shit for this post. For example, answers from ladies telling me, "stop being sexist a woman can make her own decisions, you need to stop being an asshole", and the guys telling me, "Fuck that, get that bitch in line and tell her to stop wasting money", really won't help me. Thanks everyone.)
