He's loaded but very mean with money. He wont go out for a meal or spend a bit more so we can do something different at weekend. Meantime my husband is trying to send me flowers and gifts to win me back. I am not a material girl but life with this man is really boring as he just likes to keep money. Sometimes I really want to go back to my husband. Please advise.

 I don't know why yall split up, but what your husband has been doing sounds very romantic. Maybe you should go back to him.
As I've said before, I don't know why you split up, only you know that answer, if it was because of something major I wouldn't go back.
But only you can determine yourself whether it was major or not.

 Hi,
I was just wondering if you have a job yourself? Are you not able to spend your own money and show your new partner how money is actually meant to be spent not hoarded?
I'm afraid you most likely won't be able to change his spending habits. People who are scrooges would rather have their arm chewed off than spend a few quid. It's sad but true. Maybe your ex isn't looking so bad now??

Whether you go back to your husband is up to you - only the two of you know why you split up in the first place and whether the relationship stands any chance of being salvaged, so I'm unable to comment further on that issue.
