How would you feel?  

Well they say one of the things couples fight the most about is money. I would not let this bother you too much unless that was all you had money wise. I would express to him that you did ask him to wait and next time please consider your feelings about making a bigger purchase. I know it makes you feel like he did not consider your thoughts but you know when we see something we really want we tend to want to go for it. I hope this helps and happy mylotting to you.

I think I would feel the same way you do. Not mad, but wishing he'd done it differently. He might have had second thoughts about it if he'd waited. What's done is done, though, and he will probably enjoy his new moped!

I think that if he had bought the moped without the intention of replacing the money once the truck was sold then I would be a little cross.
As he will replace the money I think I would be less cross but still a little bit unhappy as he didn't take the time to think it over as you suggested.
My opinion is that I wouldn't make too much of a big deal over it but maybe mention the fact that you would have liked to be involved before he actually bought the moped.

The other thing is that as a motorcyclist myself I do know that they are far more economical fuel wise than cars/trucks :-))

From what you described, it sounds like you didn't really make it clear that you wanted him to wait through the weekend. He probably heard you say you were okay with it, but that you were waiting to see if it was meant to be. Being as excited as he was to have it, he was probably worried it wouldn't still be there today. Since you didn't really state your position clearly, you can't really take it as him not listening. He could not have realized why you wanted him to wait. When my husband and I have a conversation like this, I give him a clear yes or no. If we can afford it I usually say yes. If we can't then I say no. If it were a matter of not having the money until another vehicle was sold then I'd say to wait until that point so it wouldn't hurt us financially. He'd understand and would listen.

well it depends the way u see it. if u feel disrespected cause small things in life matter most then u would feel depressed. but again, wasn't it a combined decision to get the vehicle in the first place :)

I know my man and if he puts his mind to it then you know it is as good as it being here or happening. By asking , it just makes look like being given a heads up of what he intended to do. I would be upset because our financial situation, well is not there whatsoever. At least his goal is to get rid of an item and put the money back so I would not be as mad provided the vehicle sold in a timely manner. I understand that the moped may not have been there either to purchase after the weekend. So I see why he went and bought it. As for your feelings, I would look at the big picture, Does he do this often? Or is it an opportunity that he could not let go by? Another question I have is the other one too much for repairs? Or may be he thought the two of you could mopeding together? I would not worry about it too much. He may also want to sell the other one. I understand that there are two people in a relationship and both of you need to have an understanding when it comes to spending money. Money is the root of all evil. Relax and take care. I would make sure the othe r stuff went up for sale on Craigslist, or another for sale place that is free..

if i was in your situation i would have been very much devastated .. also you have right t o argue bnecause a bike is very dangerous you can catch bugs in your mouth whats the luxury with it?

If you are like me, you will just let it slide. When my husband finds something he wants, nothing will do, but he jumps right into it if it will not put us in debt. I am sure he will like it.

I'm thinking he had figured it was okay..and since you were selling the truck he probably thought he wouldn't find another deal like that again?
Hmm, not sure what to say here. I think I'd be a little upset if it was me..but he did buy a form of transportation and not some unnecessary thing so it's a hard call-I'd think that he should've called you on a big purchase though-to get an okay or whatever.

It's not the end of the world and it could have been a lot worse! But I would still be a little upset. However, it kind of frees you up next time you want to make a purchase! You don't have to obey the "wait on it" disclaimer any more!
