He got me all upset and I slept at a friend's house. He's calling me nonstop (and it's getting annoying) or texting me. I'm really mad at him and I rather not talk to him. What do I do?

Or just ignore it and he'll relize that its not working anymore. I get this stuff a lot. These two tips will have him see that he was being very rude and he hurt you. Don't be mean back. Bye-bye!

Sorry my computer clicked the enter key, lol.
Anyway, try it because it will force you both to monitor every aspect of your spending, it actually gets really fun.
I hop this helps.

Communication is the key to all relationship, if you cut it off you kill the relationship especially if you are married or in a serious relationship already. just answe the calls and tell him you need some space for a moment.
Also to be constructive there is a program caqlled Microsoft Money, it is specifically aimed at personal and family finance, it is a fantastic tool, last year i saved over 20 grand and still had a great lifestyle simply because i followed the plan it set out. I

If there saying sorry and regreting what he said (and they mean it) then he might actually be regetting what he said to you. At the moment were all in a resecion (or whatever it's called) so people are trying to be really good at not spending money at making sure they still have there job and seeing as the argument was about money this topic can get people really angry. If he honestly regrets what he has said in that arguement then I would try to talk to him. But if the messages are bad and are saying even more hurtful things then I don't know and I will leave the question open to any other commenters.

Honey, you are married and there are going to be fights. Deal with this problem with your husband. Money is the main thing that married couples argue about, and it's also the main thing that they divorce over.
Running away, name calling, and the silent treatment are all either mean or controlling, and none of them are dealing with your problem like a mature adult.
If you can't talk to each other without overreacting, then get a marriage counselor to lead you both through the steps to a more productive way of dealing with the inevitable conflicts that are going to come up throughout the course of normal married life. You aren't boyfriend and girlfriend anymore, you are supposed to be partners and you took vows to love each other through thick and thin, and if he didn't love you, he wouldn't still be calling. Even if you are angry, you have to talk to him and deal with your money issues together. The next time he calls, answer and sort out your problem together. Good Luck.
