I am not sure what to do.


I have been with my husband for 7 years, married for nearly 5 of those 7.

Welcome to the board jbjchome,


Wow. I am sorry this is happening to you right before you c-section. My first reaction was to tell you to leave him. I personally couldn't be with someone that lied to be about when they were fired and that had amassed a large about of unsecured debt. Trust and finances are two very important things to me.


Due to the timing of everything, I would first tell your husband to cancel those credit cards and to stop gambling altogether. Ask him to go to gamblers annoyomous. Second that he get a job. Any job who cares if he likes it, to start paying off that debt. I would also suggest marriage counseling.
