to think dh should take the chance to earn extra money no matter how little?

DH is more than likely going to have to go bankrupt, we are waiting for a meeting with a citizen advice debt expert to clarify this.

This could mean losing our house, but until we know for sure we have to pay the mortgage which we are in arrears on.

Saturday night I sat down and worked out a way in which we can start to slowly pay back some of the arrears.

It means we have very little money to live off though and once we done the shop this week, we had only £10 from yesterday to Friday to last us. This will be enough to cover basics like topping up milk and bread so we should be ok.

This morning at work dh was offered the chance to earn £10 to doing an hour of someones elses job. He said no as he didnt think it was worth it.

I was annoyed when he told me as it would have effectively doubled our income for the week, but at work this afternoon I couldn't shake the feeling he is just being bone idle although he says this isn't the case.

Cue an argument when we had put dd down to bed. He's walked out now.

AIBU for thinking he should have done it?

Probably best not to ask ChippingIn Sad

Went through the statements for the past week last night and found out dh is still spending small amounts of money on the card dispite me working out a plan that involved not tounching the money in the bank and only spending the money I had taken out last sunday (ie £20)
He cant explain what he was buying, just gets defensive but I suspect he is smoking again.

This means the next couple of weeks are going to be even tighter as I have to now make up the deficit.

I have taken the bank card off him and told him I'm tempted to change the bloody pin number. Which is probably the worst way to handle it but last night I had so little patience and tolerance left last night.

He slept on the sofa and leaves for work really early so haven't seen or spoke to him today.

Feel like I really can't trust him at the moment and I resent the fact he is making me act like his mother. He is meant to be half of this realtionship and should take half of the responsiblitly. Instead at 30 weeks pregnant I am having to deal with everything.

Hard not to think I wouldnt be better off by myself Sad
