Husband stealing again

I checked my bank account today and there were lots of small purchases that I didn't make. I told my husband and mentioned that I would have to ring my bank about it. He then admitted he had taken my cash card and used it. This is the second time he has done this. Around Christmas time he made quite a large purchase (over £100) using my card without telling me. This led to me going over my overdraft. At the time it resulted in us splitting up for a week or so. I took him back as he promised never to do it again etc. I just feel so disappointed in him. He has terrible spending habits (the reason we have separate bank accounts) and just can't seem to comprehend what he has done wrong. I have told him to move out for good this time but he is arguing that it's me being unreasonable. I need some perspective on this. Please be gentle.

He stole, he lied, and now he's saying it's no big deal and you are being unreasonable?

The thing is, he knows it's a big deal because you kicked him out over it last time and he promised never to do it again. Now he's minimising and messing with your head.

Stick to your guns, he is the one in the wrong here and if you let him get away with it, he has carte blanche to continue.

Like pp, I'm curious as to what he's spending it on - is this symptomatic of a bigger problem e.g. gambling? Whatever the reason, it's not likely to get better. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." You're doing the right thing.

Please get out now. This is a form of abuse.
