Classis "all or nothing" thinking. COGal, it's just a truck. It's obvious that he doesn't care what happens to it as he has made no effort to make the payment. If he wants a vehicle, let him go out and find one. There are lots of daily drivers out there for just a few bucks. Not to throw gas on the fire, but I can see him laughing to his hockey buds about his fine ride that his "old lady" is paying for.
A friend of mine used to own a Used Car lot called "Beets Walkin'" with a picture of walking beets on the sign. He sold junkers that he fixed up himself so they were dependable and sturdy, if not the pretties of cars/trucks. They may not have been the best lookin' cars, but it sure beats walkin' to own one. Let him drive one of those.
It will not end your marriage. Your marriage is either already over, or headed that way. Strap on some ovaries and get the job done, sweetheart!
