agree /w mama, since you guys are married, you can get screwed too, so I dont' see why you can't ask, not paying the house is a biggie. I don't know how you guys do finances, I guess you each contribute and have your accts. separate (we have ours joint so we both know what goes in and out).
Tell him that perhaps you could be in charge of mailing out the payments for the bills (home,etc) if that would make things easier for him, something doesn't seem right.
Good luck hon, even if you have to step his toes having checks bounced isnt' a good sign at all and a sign that can't be ignored.
