I feel like I suck... A lot

[BettyBookWorm]

Edited to add Monday: So naturally after he leaves I go to search my car again and I find it. Oh well.

I feel like the biggest, feather-brained idiot. I somehow managed to misplace the credit card that links to our joint account. This wouldn't be so much of a big deal except H is getting ready to be gone for two weeks and needs to use that account. So, normally we would just close the number on the card and get another, but we can't do that. So we are just going to keep the same number and watch the account to make sure there are no suspicious charges.

I understand why he is pissed, but in all likelihood its somewhere in the house or lost in the depths of my car. I went through the starbucks drive thru (first time in forever) and wanted to get myself something as a treat. So instead of actually putting my card back into my wallet like I knew I should have-- I just set it in my purse. Well, I'm sure my purse got dumped out at some point during the drive. Fuck me.

Naturally I have to fuck up right before he leaves. He is not as pissed at me as I am. I just hate it when I do stupid shit.

/end rant.

I want to know why you're the only one with that credit card. Shit happens, you're human...and if HE was really so together, don't you think he'd think to have another credit card in his possession? This whole story actually shows to me that he's the dumbass, not you. He's pissed bc he left himself in a situation where he'd be fucked if something happened to that card.

We have two cards. He just didn't want to have to worry about the possibility of it have fallen out & someone find/use my card. If there was only one then that would suck even more.

Life happens... He'll deal. I'm sure a few weeks from now, he'll fuck something up.

Is this a credit/debit for a joint bank account? Or is it an actual credit card?

My & H's cards for out joint account have different numbers, so I think we'd be able to just cancel one and wait for a replacement. You can use a checkbook or go into the bank for cash until your replacement comes.

Unless your car looks like something out of Hoarders I don't see why finding it should be a problem. Call your bank tomorrow (if you can't find your card) and see if they can just re-issue yours. Honestly, neither of you should be upset over this. Shit happens, you know? Obviously keep an eye on your account, but I bet its right where you left it.

If it's a debit card they shouldn't have to cancel your H's card to reissue yours. We've done this before.

Ugh that sucks. I hate when I do something like that without thinking (setting the card on top of the purse) and then it comes back to bite me in the ass later. I'm sure it's somewhere in the depths of your purse or stuck under the seat in the car. You'll find it!

This is no big deal. A pain in the ass, but no one should be made at each other or themselves. Calm down.
