Well, he doesn't want help in managing money. He tells me we're fine. The more I think about it, the more I think it's a depression problem. He continues to buy things to try to make himself happy, Mercedes, boat, top of the line grill, and he keeps doing these things, knowing his money supply is running low. He had an overdraft protection on his checking but he's gone through that so now he owes back that loan, plus the 37.00 per check he bounced, which last month was 4 and his hole gets deeper and deeper and I feel like he's taking me down with him. Before I confronted him with the house payment, I slept on it as I didn't want to speak in anger. When the time was right, I told him about the mortgage co. calling and asked him if it would be easier if he gave me the mortgage payment each month and I'll take care of it. He said "I can do that". Here it is the 8th, payment due on the 15th, and he hasn't given me any money. He looks like such a whipped puppy every time I bring up finances. The man is depressed, he has no motivation, no drive, he's simply existing. And our sex life, non-existant. I really have had about all I can take. Sometimes, I believe he just hopes that I'll give up. It would lift his burden and his guilt and it would give him yet another chance to start over. I don't know what to do.
