Bf got ripped off cause of my shopping addiction

I just don't know what to do. My bf had given me his credit card num the other day cause he knows how much I love shopping. So i bought some stuff and every single thing I bought I told him about it. I even showed him the stuff I ordered. Today he tells me someone ripped 400 pounds off his acc and he's so angry and said I broke his trust and all and keeps on having a go at me.

I understand this is serious and that's why I kept quiet and tried everything to calm him down but he's so freaking annoyed and I just dunno what to do cause I know its all because my shopping addiction that he got ripped off on the net. He said I don't care that someone gets his personal details and i'm more concerned about shopping. All I did was shop for a few clothes like everyone does. That's all.

I dunno what im expecting by posting this thread I really just need to rant this all out atm.

Don't do what?

I said your boyfriend should never have given out his credit card details even to his own girlfriend.

I just re read my post and I guess what I wrote may be a little confusing. I didn't spend 400 quid on shopping. He got ripped off on the net.

If I were you boyfriend I'd be pissed too.. were you not buying from reputable sites?I
f he gets this way when something goes wrong I would stop borrowing his card. It's not worth the annoyance for you.

Even if it were a few clothes, it still mounts up in the end.

It's not your fault he got ripped off. It could just as easily have happened if he was shopping online. I don't blame him for being pissed off, but it shouldn't be at you.

Maybe, but that's not the issue here is it? I did not break his trust. He was with me when I did all my shopping online.

Aye, except I'd go further and say 'dont use credit cards on the internet if you don't know how to stay safe there' :biggrin:

on a positive side....he'll get the money back np

nout wrong with lending your card to somebody you trust!

Well if he was with you then I would just reassure him that it wasn't you who wiped out the £400, but I would find out who did take thet £400 out.

Erm... warehouse, additions direct, la redoute...
I did not borrow his card, he's the one who told me to have it cause he said he loves the smile I have on my face when I just bought something I like. I didn't want to initially but then we're gonna get married in a yr or 2 so i thought to myself its ok.

I can understand why he is pissed with you, if I were you Id go back and check the sites you used. In the end whats done is done, and you have to learn from your mistakes, in this case NO more credit card and NO more shopping online!
If your not use to shopping online I can see how you could have been mislead but in the future you need to be more carefull.
It might sound like alot to ask but if you can, try to offer him the £400 back. You just need to give him a little space and some time to cool off about it all. Chances are he will stay miffed for a few days but if you've explained everything to him and been completly honest he will eventually come round.

Well if you are getting married, it don't sound like there is a lot of trust at the moment.

If he reports the theft to his credit card company, he's got a pretty good chance of getting the £400 back (depending what card he has got). A lot of credit cards come with online fraud protection.

My bf is worth a lot more than 400 quid.

Why's that? He didn't say I took the money.
