[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTDT OP. I can offer you a lot of advice, but it only works if he admits he has a problem. Getting one's car repoed is a serious problem (you have to miss many payments). Did he just not pay the car payment and left the money in the accout? Or did he spend the money in the acc't and then played games with himself about getting the money? Two different problems. One is or organization and one is a little more problematic.

My dh had the latter problem and it is a nightmare to untangle. It needs to be addressed with counseling and with hardcore pragmatic strategies such as he gets an allowance, you have total control of the money, etc. He then earns back responsibility bit by bit. But be forewarned: this is a lifelong problem he will have. And, most especially, he has to acknowledge the problem and the extent to which it will ruin your life and your relationship if he doesn't address the problem.[/quote]

You are better than me PP because I would never agree to this. I have 3 kids, I'm not going to parent my dh as well. Giving your dh an allowance? No f-ing way. [/quote]
