Is this stealing? What do you think?

I took $1 from my fiance's piggy bank this morning so I could get coffee on my way to work. I had no intentions on telling him or paying him back. Now I'm feeling a little guilty about it. What should I do? Thanks.

Put a dollar back. But he shouldn't care about a dollar anyways. He's your fiance so you will soon be sharing everything you have.

Put a dollar back. :)

Not only is it stealing, but you stole money so you could buy something you didn't even need. You can do without coffee, no matter how bad you want it, you don't need it.

Better give him back his dollar, and say "I'm sorry" with a BJ

you cant pay him back $1?

if you feel guilty put it back.

Yes it is stealing plus real dishonest, because you had no intention of telling him. Thing of it is that he would more than likely wouldd have gave the money for coffee, but you choose to take the money without telling him.

Stealing is taking something that didn't belong to you. The value doesn't matter. The purpose doesn't matter. Bringing a paper clip home from work is stealing. Using it to get a baby out of a burning car doesn't stop it from being a theft.

But, if the two of you are close enough for it to matter to your heart you should:
1. Pay him back a dollar. In person.
2. Apologize for just taking it.
3. Hope he forgives you and blows it off. (He probably will.)
4. Don't do it again since it bothers you so much.

if you guys are getting married it shouldnt evn be an issue. just tell him " sweety i took a buck for coffee". its all going to be both of urs anyway and chances are that he will be taking from ur piggy more often than u.

lol jus put the money bk in that you borrowed and dont tell him then u wont feel guilty and wont have to worry about him its not alot of money so its not a big deal :)


Kalkail
Tell him. if it is making you feel bad or guilty then it is best just to get it off your chest. Bring him something nice home in exchange after telling him. Plus if he dismisses it then that is less negativity in your relationship. You could also just replace the money and inform him.

No, just buy him a coffee next time you are out together, and come clean. He will just laugh it off, probably admitting to doing the same to you.

Just be honest, and give him a dollar back. I doubt he'll care about it, it's only a dollar


Mickjam
Pay him back if you think he will care. If you don't think he will care that much, buy him a treat for a dollar and that should clear up your mind.
Now be honest, it was only a buck?


scarletm
oh whatevs he would probably give you the dollar if you asked him. just tell him you needed coffee and give him a dollar sometime. bigger fish to fry. bye!


Dew
well I would say that is dishonest.I would put the 1.00 back so it gets off your Mind.

The dollar, even though it isn't a huge amount, didn't belong to you, so taking it was stealing.
I think you should return the dollar.


JACKIE
are you serious!! i do that all the time the difference is i get caught, who cares it's change lol


kyui45
pay $ 1 back


ba
Just slip in $1 the next time you have a chance.

Yes, it's stealing if you aren't going to pay him back or tell him. If you don't share finances you don't have any right to his money (no matter how little you may have taken.) Tell him you borrowed a buck and pay him back.
