LostGal. The shopping did drop. About 1.5 years ago I said I did not want to live with her if the shopping and some other things did not change. At first BB resisted and kept her addiction going. Then a little at a time, she bought a little less and less. No switch like on to off. It has taken this long for her to get her spending to reasonable levels. She still looks and checks things out but talks to me before buying most big ticket items.
It took about 6 months of not watching QVC regurally for BB to admit she had a shopping adiction. Now she redially admits she was out of control.
BB still wants things but they are things for the house that add value to it.
Sorry you have to buy things that are a substitute for human contact. Huggs to you.
