Just to answer a few questions...

I work part time due to having a little girl to look after and studying a degree with the OU, and he is self employed.

We had a joint account for household expenses,... Mortgage, bills I paid £750 into this a month and husband £600....

I work on a Saturday and thats when he does the weekly shop and pays cash,... (or so I thought) ...

I know he's hidden this to 'protect' me, and he just wants to make me happy,... I just wish he'd have known that I don't need protecting and I could have handled his debt 10 years ago when we were dating...

Again to my 'haters' it really wasn't my intension to offend or jump on the comp bandwagon.... It really is one element that crossed my mind.... Amongst my initial anger towards my husband, I was also angry, I guess with the way the financial world works....
Of course I'm reviewing our finances, trying to get more hours at work, getting him to face reality, cut what little luxury we had in our lives, put my small Christmas fund into paying some outstanding bills, etc... I'm not stupid.... I know we both need to wake up and small the coffee/ roses, whatever....

And if this forum posting hasn't put me off MSE for life (lol) then maybe you'll see me on debt free wannabes!

I am not trying be rude, because some post were going on about divoce I wanted to make it known that look into the whole thing before thinking about it. As long as he is not leaving double like I am sure two of you can work it out and have a happy life together. At the end both of you are part of this debt.

Hi Darkangel, so sorry to hear of the terrible shock that you have received. I think that you and OH need to have all the cards on the table about finances because possibly he is not making as much money as you thought he was. If he is, where is it going?
I also reccomend you get onto the debt free wannabe board as it is more appropriate.
