Urggh I could post about so many things but I'll start with this one thing as it is happening right now. Married 21 years, 2 DD (teenagers) and DH is almost another child. He works hard, earns reasonably good money but is absolutely crap at admin/money/basically being responsible. I gave up work (part time) at the start of the year as my mum went to pieces (also has dementia) post my dad's death last summer; I've been travelling back & forth to other end of the UK to support her (she's now in a home near me - nearly had a nervous breakdown with all it ensued as she hates me for suggesting move). As the bread winner he is totally sh*t with money - drinks too much, loves a night out with the 'boys' and we are always overdrawn ... a huge bug bear is he spends ££ on work expenses and fails to claim them back - he is probably owned around £600 at the moment. When I ask about it, he blows up and walks off .. I just don't get it. I'm looking for work again but nothing has materialised as yet.
Any advice on how to tackle this?? (I've offered to do the paperwork etc. but he flatly refuses to take me up on the offer). The irony is he wants a new car -penis extension- but can't even get round to discussing a budget!!
