can someone please help/advise me?
I feel I'll at the thought of telling my husband I have run up a credit card debt of 3,265!!!
He is going to be so disappointed and angry withme which is why I've kept it a secret til now. I am a sahm and cannot afford to be paying it back with the little money dhgives me as housekeeping.

He is very good with money and am surecould find a solution to it, even though we are already in debt, I just don't want to burden him. He has no idea. I do all banking on line, get all the post( in case there is correspondence)-including always getting up early on Saturdays to get the post.

I know there will be a massive row and I will feel like shit and like a stupid child. I just don't want the row as we're getting on great and I feel so pathetic dumping this on him. Can't stand the thought of the disappointment and rows.
On the other hand, I feel so sick caught up in it all.

Please help me!

He'll find out eventually. If he knew would you have the funds to pay it off rather than you just scrimp on the housekeeping and pretend? Is his name on the card too ? You would perhaps be best arranging an appointment with CAB, for example, before you tell him then ask him to come along, to look at your household incomings and outgoings to find a way to pay it off then at least you wil be able to demonstrate that you are taking responsibility and want to resolve the problem. You also need to look at why you spent it and on what, and cut up the card so you aren't tempted.

btw this thread has no title so it will be hard for others to respond. can you post you message again and put a title .
