I'm just concerned that his debts will reflect badly on my credit - we're married. His credit is my credit. The more $$ I give to him (even if it is to pay debt) the less I have to cover everything else.
Maybe I'm justifying my controlling behavior, I don't know. We are just strapped financially. Things are tight. Tight. I want him to sell some of his toys, but he's resisting. (He's got his own XBox & games, scads of CDs, books, etc.) I'm not sure how hard to push. The extra money would be helpful (pay down debt) but I'm so wary of trying to control him. Gah!
