[quote=Anonymous]I still plan to keep my premarital savings in my separate bank account so it’s only in my name. I agree it isn’t a good idea to pool all our money together at this point...and honestly I plan to always maintain and continue to grow my own savings account with a chunk of change in case anything happens. But starting a joint account will be good for transparency and accountability, and I think it’s better to both be pulling money from that account for joint expenses that align with our budget rather than pulling from separate savings when I have no visibility into it. My husband automatically forwarded email confirmations of any purchases he makes on his own credit card, which is good. (He agreed no purchase this week until we finalize the budget.)

We both did research and believe my husband has compulsive spending disorder which is probably what led to this debt. Based on my reading it also comes with lying about purchase and money in general. I wonder if anyone here has experience with this? I asked my husband if we could attend some debtors anonymous meetings and he reached out to a few folks and seems excited to go. I really hope we are on the right track. My biggest concern is the lying but I hope that it’s a symptom of the disorder and not something more fundamental to his character (I don’t think it is but I’m not sure), and that we can work on it together at DA.
