[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone dealt with this? Spouse and I have been together for a very long time. We have young kids. And this is the second time he’s come clean about lying about debt. He’s not a great saver but has never even come close to having a severe spending problem or lying about his. 
Last year he came clean that he took out a 10k loan against his 401k to try and start a side hustle that failed. He paid off the loan a few months ago.

Now he tells me he has a spending problem and thinks it’s a mental health issue because he can’t stop and has racked up 15k in credit card debt in the past few months. Our combined income is 250k.

How do you come back from this? I feel like the trust is lost. What’s going to happen next. I don’t want to have to babysit his finances forever. Am I overreacting? How would you handle paying off the debt? Take over it or let him figure it out himself?[/quote]

What else is he hiding?
Not a reason to end this marriage but this is bad. [/quote]
