We have a little baby. I am having a hard time figuring out what to do.
1) immediately separate your bank accounts so that he doesn't have access to your money
2) do you work? If so, start saving all of your money because you'll need it
3) educate yourself on your liability as it relates to that debt that he created. You guys are married, so it COULD be partly your responsibility
4) he is likely lying about more than his over-spending. The over-spending is merely a symptom of the larger, actual problem. As a condition of you sticking around, he needs to get into intensive therapy ASAP. He has an addiction. Those are hard to beat, so get ready for an uphill battle
5) don't make any more babies with him
