He has had advice - he doesn't need your random rubbish comment.

Don't be to tough on him, he is a Daily Mail reader.

Problem is that unless he does what I suggested, he will never act on any of the advice given.

No point, just trying to give some background.

And posting 'Grow a pair' is really going to make him see your side of sense and turn his life around.

I'm out of this discussion - you're as small minded as your daily paper's readership.

I repeat: Grow up.

You must admit that it the strangest SOA, probably 90% of the population would swap places with him/her tomorrow.

You never know, sometimes people need a blunt wake up call. I would suggest that getting himself into more debt just to please his wife is definately not going to improve matters.

We appear to agree on something, not sure I would want the wife though.

OP you have to take control of your budget

so

I would suggest you remove (from your wife) all ways she is spending money ie close/cut up store cards/credit cards.

Decide on a fixed allowance (for food/clothes etc)

give her THAT amount in cash (which will be less than you're paying now)

Don't think she's going to go though - because she isn't going to find another high earner to keep her in the manner she appears to expect to be kept (she says, tinged green with envy;)) and she MIGHT just start to respect you if you take control - you never know!
