I don't care if this is unsupportive - I just need to let some steam out.
My O/H has the debts. Today I'm angry with him. Yesterday he got upset when a 'creditors notice' arrived. What does he expect ? We've already talked through what we're going to do and have a plan. Every time a letter comes he says ' it's me with the debts, I'm just saying it's not a pleasant thing, that's all '.
Well it's not pleasant for me either. I've done his P&L's, his Tax Returns, Spoken to the Collector, spoken to the Inspector, written about a dozen times to each of his unsecured creditors, researched the situation via's websites, Nat Debtline, CAB etc. He should be doing this *hi*, not me. But he's no good at it. He's earning and paying the I.R. - that and complaining are his two contributions to the situation.
And he's still reckless with money. It shouldn't be my job to say 'no we can't' , 'we can't afford it' etc. He should KNOW this.
I know he's worried about the debts but I honestly think I'm more worried. I must be stupid.
In my mad moments, I think kicking him out would solve all the problems. Then sanity returns and I know that's not what I want. We are dealing with the debt. He is working. It will get better.
I'm just angry with him today. And I needed to vent in a 'safe' place because I can't say all this to him. He's knackered from work and doing all he can.

Well, at least you're getting it off your chest here. Is it possible that you could make a joint appointment with a money advisor at the CAB? Hearing some sense from a third (unconnected) party might help drum some sense into him?
All the best.0 -
