I have a good job, make decent money and have a wife and three kids. The problem i am having is my wife is a compulsive shopper. I cant let her have any money or she spends it like crazy. We are three months behind in rent and are being threatened with eviction, three months behind on our car payment, and i have to hide from the repo guys. I am sick of this shit! I am loosing ground fast here and she isnt helping!

If you can't put up with her shit then divorce her .. she isn't doing any good for you if she is a compulsive shopper

well obviously dont divorce her if you love her. just talk about it and say your spending to much and need to cut back

You must take control of all the money in order for the two of you to survive. You should pay the car payment, rent, utilities and don't trust her to do it. Open up a seperate bank account somewhere that she knows nothing about, have all the statements go to a PO box, you pay all the bills and let her know that its necessary for the two of you not to be homeless.

If she can't accept that then yes, it may be time to take the kids and leave her. Its like the two of you are in a boat and she keeps poking holes in it, while you're trying to plug up the holes. Its not going to work and eventually you'll sink unless you get on the same page. Unfortunately there are many marriages that end over this issue.

I had a friend in your identical situation. He loved his wife too much, he said, to ever try to reign her in. Shopping is a sickness when it gets to be a compulsion. Your wife needs help, and there are support groups for that. However, you need to come to terms with the fact that your wife may not change. Ask yourself what your life will look like if she continues on this path. Then imagine your life with everything under control - your control, which may or may not include her. Which life do you want?
You know what you need to do. Take action. Go to support group meetings. Change the way you act, because you cannot change her. (Only she can do that.) Then gain the life you want to live, before it is too late.
Oh. What happened to my friend? Within a year after finding out that his wife had a compulsive problem, he got cancer, refused treatment, and died, leaving behind his young son to wonder, "what happened?"

Tough love, take control of the money, open your own account, pay the bills, do not give her any money. Do all the shopping. Find some help for her, the bottom line is she has to do it. You cannot do it for her. You got to think of the childern. Talk to a lawyer, because you need to know what to do about the credit cards. I do know get your name off of them. If you any joint cards close them, and pay them off. The cards in her name she will have to pay for. Good luck, Ask God for help he will help you if you let him.
