Tricky situation

Hi everyone,
Hope you can help. How do I approach this situation, a couple of years ago, DW got into debt (as well as me), we had creditors ringing day & night, so I cashed in ISA & savings and paid off DW's debts, then I took over the finances. We both get "pocket money" each week for ourselves, and have both said that we will save up for anything we want in the future. Well post arrived today, and I opened one of the letters, not realising it was for DW, we both bank in the same place. Inside was a PIN number for a credit card. Any advice how I can handle this one without it getting out of hand? :o

    I personally think that you have to confront her about it, you've cashed in savings etc to clear her debts in the past, she cannot expect you to do it again.

    Tread carefully here

    My OH had a new atm card come through, thought nothing of it, couple of days later, new PIN arrived, because of that, as the present card was not due to expire my OH called the bank, who stated they had issued a new card & PIN as they noticed suspicious transactions being tried on the a/c.
