Would your marriage survive?

Question

If one of you runied you credit rating and put you in debit by overspending, mostly br irreasposable credit card use?

Answer 1

Of course you can get past this. You just have to work TOGETHER and figure out a plan. I was in MASSIVE credit card debt, and just recently got rid of ALLLL of my credit cards!!! It was a pretty amazing feeling have a zero balance on everything!!

If you love your partner, you will stand by them and help them through this problem.....because it's not hard to get 'addicted' more or less to your credit cards. It's a problem, and it's REALLY REALLY HARD to get out of the mess....but helping someone you love should be incredibly rewarding.

Answer 2

Most marriages don't survive after Three years do to Financle problems. It is never discussed through the court- ship becouse Passion and Lust clouds Jugment. It is'nt untill (after the Move In) when the One you put above all others becomes Humanized. Everything becomes an issue after the Romance settles and the Intence embraces end. Back to reality. The marriages that built a foundation with only physical Wants and Desires will fail.
Money issues can be resolved, as every thing in life, it takes hard work and Devotion.

Answer 3

It is hard to say as I have not been in that situation. I know I would be very angry about it and would take over ALL the finances and would cut up all the credit cards.

Money is a big issue in all marriages and has been the cause of some divorces.

Answer 4

My husband did this. We had no hydro, no phone, no gas, and very little food. The only thing i had to eat for months was pasta and sauce. It didnt end us, but it changed everything. I took all of his access to the money away, gave him a small allowance every week and once that was gone, sorry about your luck. 3 years later we are finally seeing the light of day, there is money in the bank again, which he just found out about and is having a fit that i knew it was there. Hes dying to spend it, Which after the last episode is not going to happen. You have to be strong and only purchase what you need when you need it. I did with out a lot of things, when my car broke down i walked for months until i had the money to repair it, no meat in the house because of the price, no new clothes make up shoes, it is hard, but you can make it. Good luck to you both, and if you do what i did be prepared for a huge battle.

Answer 5

Honestly... the fact that you ask the question leads me to believe that your marriage is a little unstable to begin with. I think most people here would agree that is no reason to terminate a marriage. It's a bump on the road that should be worked out, and most importantly a lesson to be learned for the future.

Good luck and God Bless!

Answer 6

Yes, but there would need to be some changes in how the family money is spent and the credit cards need to disappear forever and not be used again!

Answer 7

Cut up the credit cards and sit down and talk

Answer 8

Only if BOTH partners are willing to work very hard to put it back together. But undoubtedly require counseling to understand the reasons for the spending...and assistance in living within a budget

Answer 9

mine didn't. my (now) ex ran up all 5 of my credit cards, bought vehicles & traded them in 1 yr later. totally ruined my credit. he didn't work much throughout the year & still expected me to take care of his needs, cook, clean, take care of the bills, & our son. we've been divorced almost 1 1/2 yrs now.

Answer 10

yes i think it would survive, but the damage would be done and you would have to face the consequences. it isnt just your credit but your spuses as well. work out a payment plan where you pay twice a month and pay it off as quick as possible.
