totally agree, set up a private account and seperate money, Also ahve his paychecks go autmatically into a bank account, Then the day he get's paid...set up Autopayments for your credit cards.

Say paid every 2 weeks on friday, Pay some bills automatically on the saturday that follows. I do that for my stuff, makes life easier knowing your bills paid, and he can't spend it.

take his credit cards and cut them up or hide them. I had to do that to my wife, she has 1 now, she was a shopping addict. Still spends it, but I have it controlled.

Bottom line have him get help for his addiction, you need to control the finaces and have your mom or Dad help you out setting it up.

tell your hubby he will lose you and the children if he does not control it.

Best of luck.

Sad part is I LOVE to gamble, but I only do it once or twice a year...I hate losing money more then my love to gamble....I guess that is good.
