at last

I have come to my senses, I am in loads of debt which my husband is unaware of and i'm sure that he would leave me if he knew. It absolutely kills me inside to keep hiding this. But today I have arranged for payment plans to be made with my overdrafts and from next month will be up to date with mortgage payments, I will hopefully be doing some extra part time work from next month so will be able to eat away at these debts. I am feeling so much more positive about this now.

    good on you. As a lot of people would suggest, post an soa on here and wait for all the wonderful experienced advice.

    I opened up to my hubby a couple of years back and so glad I did. He was fantastic and also blamed himself. I felt much more positive afterwards.

    All the best

    Hi Princess,

    Well done on sorting out your payment plans. It's a step in the right direction. Keep posting on this site and have a good nosey through the threads as there is so much useful information, challenges etc to keep you motivated. Maybe as suggested post an SOA on here and see if the great people on this site can help, good luck.x

  • welcome to MSE princess155. Congratulations of facing up to your debt problems - everyone on this forum is lovely and has some great advice.

    Tell your husband about your debt problems - as after all the problem is his too. I am sure that things wont be as bad as you think if you do tell him and maybe he can offer some help, advice and reassurance to you and you can handle and sort your way out of this mess together.

    Someone else I am sure will be along soon to offer more pratical advice but for now have a cyber hug:grouphug: and make a brew and ask the lovely people on here any questions no matter how stupid they may sound to you - the lovely peeps on here will be glad to help you. Their moto seems to be "no question is a stupid question".
