My dh has been depressed for the last few years since the sudden death of his mother and prior to that the suicide of his father. It has been a very difficult time for us all, and our relationship has been tested to the limits. I thought we were turning a corner and his mood is definitely improving but over the last few months he has brought us to the brink of financial ruin with his crazy spending.
He has spent thousands, amassing an enormous overdraft with his bank. He has spent it on frivolous crap like DVD's, weed, technology etc etc so we have nothing real to show for it. Money is tight and its been really hard. He has apologised so many times and has still gone on to spend more. I found out this week that he is now £3000 overdrawn and we have no way of paying it back without it having a massive impact on our lives.
I feel so angry and dissapointed. I feel like a fool. don't trust him with money now and I am not sure I ever will. What do I do?
He has made appointment with bank next week, he is now having wages paid into my bank and I am going to control finances. I don't want to, but I can see no other option.
