My dh is not great with money. I sort all finances out for the house. we both pay into a joint account for bills etc and leave ourselves the same amount of money for spends. He recently got a large pay rise but didn't increase what he transferred by that much. I am now dipping into savings as we have a lot of outgoings at the moment with childcare etc.
A couple of years ago I found a very large credit card bill in his name and was quite upset. For one because I dont like to be in debt, and secondly I didn't know anything about it. My dh said it was for his brother who was having money trouble at the time and his mum was helping him pay etc.
He's also in the past run up a large catalogue bill and had lots of late payment fines as he's so rubbish.
I just had an inclining that something was going on and I've done an online credit check and discovered he's around 10k in debt. I'm absolutely gutted. We are comfortabley off. I feel like we shouldn't be getting into debt with what we earn. I'm pissed off he hasn't told me about this. He's so generous with his money, he's just spent loads on my birthday but I'd rather he didn't if we can't afford it!
Sorry I'm just rambling on but I'm really upset. I guess I'm asking how you would approach it. Obviously it's not great that I've gone behind his back to find out but now I know I can't ignore it.
