Puppy - The only joint account left is for mortgage payments as she is still paying half, although not living here. Her parents are wealthy, but she is in debt as she keeps telling me. She has never been good with finances, would eat at restaurants even when overdrawn. Buys, buys, buys lots of clothes. Seriously concerned about ageing, diets, runs all the time. She gets angry very quickly, both with me and the boys. She can switch within hours and would be as nice as pie. She is very gullible and she often says that she knows she is off the wall! She has serious self-esteem issues - she does not think that she is pretty.
Karen 43 - I know exactly what you mean. Your husband sounds irrational. You are doing the right thing by becoming totally indifferent to him. He will probably start moaning about how broke he is. You should divorce him. He sounds like a liability.
