Do you have a joint account with him? What do you do when he runs out of money? Is your family okay with the necessities? Sorry for getting too personal and don't feel you have to answer these.
We have a joint bill paying account but other than that we have separate accounts. He is making his regular contributions to our joint account (which I view pretty much as spousal/child support) so he hasn't gotten so bad that he is skipping those payments. I work full time so we are getting by on what I make, which we used to use for extras and fun stuff. The gas is eating me alive at almost $5.00 a gallon, but we are doing ok. When he runs out of money I guess he goes without or borrows it from OW. This is the first real period for him where he doesn't have money in the bank to gamble away and he has stopped using his credit card for that (thank God!) so I'm not really sure what he will do. I guess we will just have to watch it unfold.
No worries, I pretty much spill my guts on here, so there are very few limits.
Your theory on looking for my approval is interesting. He finds out next week what sex the baby will be...I think I may need a drink that day. Still trying to figure out HOW to tell DD6. This sucks so much.
