  • People divorce over money all the time.
    If I where you I would take your parents and in-laws advice.
    Leave, go get a job.
    He sounds depressed.

  • It doesn' t sound like he's just bad about money. That would be forgetting to put a check he wrote into the register and overdrafted. He is flat out not talking care of you and your child, after telling you to quit your job and go back to work when the child starts school. If even his parents are saying to divorce him, it's serious. You have to be the strong one.

  • am the one who wrote in hubby not paying bills. i do not have any family who lives by me they all live 5hr's away. i do not have any friends. hubby will not let me have any friends. you guys are my friends. he told me that friends just put ideas in your head and make you do things that are not write. he has lots of frinds. i use to be so strong when i was working now all i do is depend on him & i hate it. he went on this big motorcycle trip he made sure he work enought hr's that he could to pay for this trip. i could not go because i could not find a babysitter so he went with two other couples. the only bill that he paid was the rent nothing else got paid. i had to get moeny from my parents to get food for me & the kids. i have to stand in food lines to get food and go to food pantries. somtimes there just is no money. i buy all the clothes for the kids and myself at rummage sales. do not drink or smoke with kids 24/7

  • Loving you is taking care of responsibilities. Love is found in the actions of a person. If he isn't paying bills that need to be paid. he is not loving you the right way. He can find money to buy him things that are non-essentials, but find no money to help pay things that need to be paid? That is selfish and inconsiderate. You need to get back to work ASAP and tell him he needs to let you on his account so that you can help manage the money.

  • Cut up the credit cards and shred the checkbooks.

    You give your husband cash to spend and that's it.

  • This is a great way to make a good income! Support yourself and children!

    HI,
    I'm happily engaged and we are about to buy our first home. We live in a small town where it is really hard to find a decent job, so I've been searching for a way to work at home. I recently found a home-based opportunity with no large investments and no risk! I work in the comfort of my own home with an international, 24 year old, Inc 500 company. All I do is set up customer accounts and do some online marketing. I work around my own schedule, with a group of amazing team members. I never even have to leave my own home to be successful!

    If this is something you'd be interested in, please visit my website.

    I think that once you hear more information about the company, you'll love it just as much as I do!

    I hope to hear from you soon :)

  • This isn't just "not being good with money" this is considered neglecting your family! He is failing to provide a stable home life for his wife and child(ren)!
