You are not a wuss! And don't let anyone tell you you are. I'm sure someone has mentioned financial abuse and controlling behavior to you previously if you've posted about this before, the reason it's abuse and controlling is that it works. Not being able to walk away is a symptom of what's going on, not a sign of weakness.

I don't know what else to say. I feel for you. You mentioned september weekend, we may be local if you'd like a coffee sometime?

Our TiVo, hd, multiroom, sports and broadband deal I'm going to get reduced soon as I'm on mat allowance now but at the moment it costs £98 per month. That's not too mention the setup and box costs.

He's taking the absolute piss tell him you want equal access to finances or he should fuck off so you get excess benefits. Do you know his salary? What job is he in?

*to not too misspell in anger for you!

If you spend all day out and it's your DCs and friends you cite as making you happy then where does your DH come into the "nice" part of your life or is he just contributing to the nit nice bits?

If you boot him then you still get to go out, see friends, have your DCs and with the settlement/maintenance you might just be able able to make your home nice too.

I agree with punk and you are not a wuss!

this is financial abuse

If you can't control your money, you can't control your life.

He'd be swapping a vital organ for the TiVo box.
