So basically alot has happened between me and my h2b. I'm not really sure where we're at anymore.
He lost his job 5 weeks ago and instead of doing anything to ensure that he got himself a job it was all left down to me! I spent my mornings, lunch breaks, night times constantly looking for jobs whilst becos he was "tired" he did nothing!
I ended up finding him a temp job for 4 weeks hours 6am - midday mon - sat. Well this meant that he was even more tired and cudnt do a thing towards looking for a permanent job!
Nxt thing I know hes taking days off for no reason, hes lying to his boss and hes getting into rows.... (one of the reasons he lost his last job - i found out)
So nehoo he finally gets a job interview (becos of me) and started a permanent position yday!
However on wednesday last week he took out a credit card without me knowing. (background info is that we're already in £17k worth of debt) And becos i was allowed into his email acc to email job apps off - on friday i noticed that hed got it!
So i confronted him about it and he blaintenly lied and said no. I said i knew he was lying - and he then said to me "well i applied and i got turned down" I once again said he was lying so he sed "ok so i got it but i havent got the card yet" I wanted to see if he was still lying so i said "well how did u pay for this wen uv got 66p spare?"
And the truth finally comes out!
But thats not the worst of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed over the weekend that he was spending loads.... so i (and i know i shudnt of but i just didnt trust him) checked his online banking and hes racked up £240 worth of debt ALREADY on thsi credit card! AAAAAAND £50 of it was when he withdrew cash!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i thort id give him a chance last night to come clean.......
last night he told me that he had £36 on his credit card but also went OFF IT with me for not trusting him!
So basically my frame of mind atm is that this wedding just aint going to happen, and im really sorry to moan on here, but my dad is my boss and hes very much TEAM h2b!!! and i just have no1 to talk too!!!!!!
:(
Happily Married! :) xxx

Aww hun.... thats cr@ppy :( (((((hugs for you ))))) I think you need to have serious words to be honest - this isn't something thats just gonna go away - especially if you're landeed with more debt as the end result Hope you get it sorted xx

as a side note what did he spend 240.00 on ??
CommentAuthor~*~ Becca ~*~
aww hun dont really know what to say here tbh apart from big hugs to u xxxx
certainly no way you can go into a marriage when he's doing all this lying and spending...me and h2b nearly split up last year because of how bad i am with money and im a grand in debt for a overdraft but im payin it back a little at a time..it will take me a while to pay off but my fault so my responsibility.
phone up citizens advice , any of the debt helplines to give you advice
and a serious word with h2b as to whther he's really serious about this relationship and thre's 2 of u in it..not just him xx

your not going to like what i say but i have to be honest how can even considder marrying this person when hes lying to you,spending money you dont have and basically treating you like shite,,£17,000 in debt!!!! sorry hun but your priorities should be trying to clear that before you even think of tying the knot
how did he even manage to get the card with 17k debt! i have a couple of defaults bout 400quid max and i cant get one for love nor money! u need to get him tocut the card up! how are you suppose to pay for a wedding with that amount of debt you wont be able to hun u need to sort this out x
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
ohhhh sweetie you can moan here as much as you like ......i dont blame you for being soooo cross ,so would i be ., if you cann`t trust him and he is consistantly lying to you....why would you tie your slef to him .... is the 17k of debt in your joint names or is it just his? maybe you dad is the one to talk to ...go to him with the evidence you have and ask him to talk to your h2b..... i know how stressful is is when one losses a job .....mr lala had his contract pulled at the end of july but to his credit he is on the pc everyday applying for jobs even overseas,there is no way we could manage on my wages
i think you have to laythings out for him ...tell him that there is no way you are going to marry someone who lost his job because of his own fault /wont get another....or someone who lies and make little attempt to repay debts . he has to "grow a pair" and be a man
Sorry Hun but I would agree with Tiggs, it's exactly what I was going to say to you!!!
You can't marry someone who doesn't know how to tell the truth. Lying will tear you apart and as you have said above you dont trust him anymore because of the lies. I think you really need to sit down and think about this long and hard!!!
Big hugs xx
CommentAuthorJane
I agree with the comments above - you need to sit him down and talk seriously to him before things get even worse. This is no way to start a marriage, trust is the most important thing you can have and he isnt earning that trust at all :(
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
hes not earning anything is he ....money, trust, love,respect
i just cant' b elieve that he is being the one to get annoyed at you for not "trusting" him
rightly so your not trusting him...with all the rubbish he's doing and behind your back as well
i personally would call off the wedding and concentrate on gettin the debt started to repaid and work on the relationship hun x

CommentAuthorb2bnicola
thats exactly what im thinking it was only sheer luck on my part that i managed to guess his log in for the credit card thing - otherwise i wud have no idea how much hes spending on it!
last night we did have serious words and honestly he brought me to tears with his constant point of "its none of my business what he does with his money"
my point was that it is cos this is a partnership and everything is shared at the end of the day.
basically last year we were paying out too much to laods of diff companies so we got a loan (im the lead name) to collaite it all together and pay off a reasonable amount each month! we've been paying off that and been able to save up enough to get married.
but (and this was the other thing thats really got to me) becos i had 2000 more debt than him and he took it on, he feels hes entitled to 2000! the deal was (before we got engaged) that we'd save up cos he really wanted a lil run around car so we started saving - but he proposed and we both agreed to save up only for the wedding! yet he brought up last night that he still feels entitled too 2000!
basically im waiting for this months bills to be paid (still waiting on a cheque from that temp job) and then im honestly thinking of leaving! i just cant do it nemore! my body is shot cos of all the stress im under - im gettin headaches galore and i dont feel i can go out nemore cos he makes me feel sh*t about it!
thing is tho wen i go out - i save up my personal money for a month or so, so ive got enuff he jst puts his on the credit card!!!

If he's not willing you to help him deal with his problems hun, there's nothing you can really do!!
he has to be the one tht sorts himself out and only then can you 2 move foward!! he has to realise this is denting the r/ship a hell of a lot and he's going to lose you if he keeps going down that road!!
im not the best with money like i said and ive made mistakes but im payin it back little bit at time i acknowledge i been stupid..he has to do tht too but seems to me he's still living in cloud cuckoo and think everything can just go on a card!
get him to speak to someone hun xx

CommentAuthorb2bnicola
the thing is his debt was like unpaid credit cards, unpaid phone bills etc - mine was an actual loan that i took out cos i needed a private operation!
so when I (not him ME) sorted it all out i was the one who made sure all his creditors cleared his name once the debt was paid off! so i was the one who got him back on track!
and hes the one whos just went n dun it all aagin!
hes using it to bet on a gambling website as well - which actually counts as cash - and as u all know cash from a credit card - its interest is astronomical!!!!!!!!!
i dont even wana be in the same room with him atm let alone marry him! xx

CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
Hun sorry getting another loan to pay off debts is a bad idea (i know as i did this and ended off worse) but have you considered these compnys that pay your debts for you?? My ex left me in £11,000 debt and h2b has £5,000, with one of these companys they are paying all the creditors for us (about 6 different ones) and we only pay them £100 a month (we started at 160 a month but now im not working they put it down for us) it will take 6 years to pay off but at least you can still live. If you want the details let me know, they have been brilliant with us.
And im sorry to say i agree with tiggs if you don't trust him and hes treating you like shite why the hell are you still there babe??
Just remember we are all here for you no matter what you decide. Big hugs babe. x

This is just getting worse and worse , obviously it's your choice if you carry on like this and do marry him , and i'm sure all the girls here would support you if that what you chose BUT I personally wouldn't put up with that cr@p. I'd be out that door asap ... I really hope you figure out whats best for YOU xxx
CommentAuthorb2bnicola
no no the loan i had was with the company i had my operation with. i got a loan with my bank with a MUCH better interest rate - so it was the right idea at the time!
my ex left me in a lot of debt too - u wud think i wud of learned!
(btw ne1 on fb plz dont say owt)
but yeah hails i may need that info if we do split up!!!!!!!
thanks girlies i know ur all here for me! ive been talking about it more n more to my mum - whos been amazing! she thinks that i shud bite my tongue until this months bills are paid (no point leaving myself in a worser position that if i left it a week) then once thats dun, i shud just sit him down tell him everything - that i dont trust him etc etc and say that right now i dont think its working between us. and if he wants to go and not work at it then so be it!
but if he does then i guess im going to have too work out whether i can forgive all this and move forward.
atm i cant really see that happening! i cant get over how my fiance can lie to my face!!!!!!!!!!

dont take this nasty or nethin hun but does he actually care about this relationship???
cause to me it sounds like he doesnt think he's done nothing wrong and he thinks everything is fine and basically he's burying his head in the sand...but yet he cant' see why your upset etc
no man, no matter how much you love them, is worth any stress or tears..esp one that seems to be living in a fantasy land hun!
talk to him again but make it clear that your not willing to stay put if he carries on the way he is xx

I had this problem with an ex. I was trying to get him out of debt and he just kept getting back into it again. In the end he dragged me down with him. I was just lucky that I could sell my house to clear it all. He lost me 30k in the end. Money isn't everything but trust is. I would sit down and have a think of what is important to you and how you can either rebuild the trust or move on.
I don't want to worry you but you will be getting charged the higher level of interest on the money he withdrew and that won't clear until you clear the whole of the balance. I find out that the hard way. In the mean time go to the CAB and get some advise. They could be able to help you clear your debts sooner than you think and they will give you some really sound advise.

I'm with XjoX. I also had a similar problem with my ex. In the end I left becuase I just couldn't trust him. After we split I found that not only had he run up a HUGE phone bill on the mobile he had (that was in my name!!) but he had loans & cards that I wasn't even aware of & was having the bills sent to his mum or sisters houses & just claiming to the companies that he'd never had any bills off them.
You definitely want to contact the Citizen's advice Beurau too!! They give really good information!!
My best advice would be to leave him. It'll be hard & it'll hurt, but you don't need someone in your life that will blatently lie to you like that! Trust me, there are far better men out there & you deserve someone that will be upfront and honest with you!!
I hope it all works out ok for you hun! x x x
CommentAuthorb2bnicola
Yeah me parents will take me in, but that will only be a temp thing reckon id go insane living bk there! All my mates keep saying to be "ull find sum1 better etc" but in all honesty my exs have went from bad to worse! obv its not a reason for staying with him im just saying i find it hard to believe!
im going to come clean with him next week (once bills r paid) that i know about his credit card and he'll go off it but i did it becos i dont trust him and that alone shows me that i shudnt be with him!
unf we have to give 2 months notice on our rented house so no doubt ill have to pay those bills - but i think the wedding fund so far will cover them!

You know you sound just like I did a few years back only now I have the best man in the world. He hates debt. (all of our wedding is being paid for in cash from the money he has saved over the years) He loves me for me and supports me through everything. He is my rock and for once in my life I have an equal rather than me having to babysit them! Things do get better. You just have to start by working out what you want from life and the things that make you happy. Once you sort that out the rest will fall into place. You can stop things like this from happening again by having self respect and not taking second best. If they don't live up to what you want then you move on until you find what you are looking for. If you ever want a chat then I'm always here to listen. x x
CommentAuthorMrs Turps (Nicpep)
Ah hun, been there. I got to agree with Tiggs and I really dont want to be harsh but he is taking the p*ss out of you.
The way he treats the money situation is stupid, and I would ask if he is grown up enough to be in a serious relationship. Although with some serious talking and a plan of action that can be easily fixed. What concerns me is the lying and generally the way he seems to treat you hun. You deserve to be treated like a princess and all you seem to get in this relationship is stress stress and more stress. Do you want that for the rest of your life? I wouldnt tell anyone to leave their other half, because its just not that easy, but look at the long term and whether you see things ever changing. But you need to trust him before you get married and I dont think you do xx
