DP is a financial nightmare, add to that he managed to acquire a massive amount of gambling debt. The gambling has been stopped for a while (allegedly) and I've been helping him with a monthly plan for paying down his debt and going through his bank statements together. Each payday we sit and do his YNAB.

This month he clearly didn't want to do it and has kept putting it off all weekend until eventually when he couldn't delay it any longer and shouted at me that "it's all got to be on your terms doesn't it?!".

Whining that "I just want to sit down for a bit". And I want to shout in his bloody face that this is part and parcel of being a fucking GROWN UP and unfortunately we have do things that are bloody uncomfortable sometimes.

I'm not stupid, he's probably gambling again. And if not then he's just behaving like a massive fucking man child not wanting to actually face his finances head on and take back some control. I'm so fucking sick of his financial diarrhoea getting in the way of all the things I wanted us to be doing with our lives. Sad

By staying with him you are being your own worst enemy. You know who he is, and that's an addict. All he will do is drown you right along with him. Get out before even more damage is down.
