[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our case, one spouse is an excessive spender who's always in financial trouble, and the other is too weak to say no. [/quote] So good plan for not overspending on the house. But have a reality check---staying with someone who is "always in financial trouble" is hard on a marriage. You need to find the way to say no and learn to separate your finances (I fully support combining them and dont' really get the not unless rare circumstances, and this is one case). if you choose to stay, you need to protect yourself[/quote] We file taxes separately and don’t have any joint credit cards. Also it’s only a matter of time until we get a divorce over financial and other issues. When I say no, he throws a tantrum and threatens me. That's how we ended up with a ridiculous mortgage, and that's not even the worst of it. [/quote] So why wait? You deserve better than that! [/quote]
