[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you have other issues, OP. I can see that this would be annoying, but it is not something that would push me to divorce.

You seem to want your DH to change, and sorry, OP, but that's not going to happen. I have BTDT, and you can beat your head until it's bloody, but it won't change a damn thing. Threatening divorce won't change him either, it will just make your life living hell, much worse than it is now.

You have to make some changes in yourself, not expect your DH to change, if your marriage is going to work. You need to take charge of all the finances and dole out little bits that your DH can handle, nothing more. You thought he could handle booking a flight, but obviously that wasn't something he could do, so you must lower your expectations, even though it seems nuts that an adult can't manage to book a flight. (I'd kill DH if he booked a first class flight, but he's very good with money, so he never would.)

This is the person you married, and it's up to you to figure out whether this issue is the deal-breaker. If you can no longer stand to be married to a man who is so bad with money, then start divorce proceedings. But keep in mind that since you have a child together, you will be dealing with him and finances for a long time. Just divorcing won't change him and will likely compound your financial headaches.

Try counseling, OP. Your DH may not believe in it, but if you are at the bitter end, then he may agree to try before simply submitting to a divorce. [/quote]
