OK guys. Nuts and bolts question for everyone today. Trying to protect myself financially. In the past month, I've found out that W has opened up 2 credit cards I didn't know about (1 in my name), fallen 3 months behind on the house payment, received a repossession notice on our van, and let our homeowners insurance lapse. Along with these, I found collection notices for 3 different medical bills. These were all legit, but were very small. One was under $15 for X-ray. W has always just handled bills, her choice.

Question is: How do I lovingly approach taking this over to protect myself without sounding like a parent?

I know it has to be done. I've started grabbing every piece of mail I find and paying it myself, but W beats me home every day to collect it usually.

No surprise here either, but as I left this morning I saw over $150 worth of anti aging face cream newly purchased on her nightstand.
