[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP who has the same problem. I have attempted to talk with my husband about it. Since we got married, 20 years ago, it has never been a "good time" to talk about our credit card debt or finances. I tried in the car. I tried at home. I tried after a drink. I tried over dinner. I tried on the weekend. NO time was OK. I asked if I needed to spend less. I suggested money saving options. Nothing. He'd always say "Now is not a good time" ... and he meant now in terms of what bills we had and now in terms of he didn't want to talk it about it right then.

And before you go crazy, I'm very conservative, money wise. I work full time, and I make maybe 80% of what DH does. I worked part time for over 10 years while our kids were young. I'm not a spendthrift.

But at some point I had to either have the talk about it or just say F it all, and let it go. So, being the avoider that I am, I've stopped trying. I have no idea if we have any credit card debt any more. I just don't know. I don't want to talk with him about it. I want to sweep it under the rug, and he can deal with it (which he apparently does).[/quote]

As the sister of someone exactly like you, I strongly urge you get a handle on your finances. My sister ignored as you do and divorce and then no money for retirement has been extremely difficult.[/quote]
