My OH does similar things One Day, so I can empathize with how you feel. I wish he would join this forum and make an effort but he won't. You can't make someone deal with their debts unless they want to themselves but this can be frustrating as it has an impact on you too. You are right in focusing on sorting yourself out as he needs have is own lightbulb moment. I use 'gentle' persuasion with my OH!
