It worked. I just made the payment this morning. I know gr8 and Starskey will probably give me a beat-down and tell me I should have let her car get repossessed and I should make her walk. But I just couldn't do that. My W needs her car to attend class, take the kids to various places when I'm not available, and do the food shopping, and she is currently unemployed with no income. I realize she also uses her car to go out to bars and sporting events and other WAW pursuits, but I have no control over that.
Apparently, you do, and you just exercised it (by making her payment).
I suggest you study up on "enabling," bboom. I know you think you are being "nice," but -- like the enabler who covers for their spouse's drinking, or gambling -- you are NOT doing your wife (nor yourself) any favors by rescuing her from the consequences of her own poor decisions.
Oh, and I don't think it's funny at all. In fact, your kids are watching, and are now entering those years that will form the basis for how they interact relationally and financially for the rest of their adult lives.
