Well you certainly have your hands full. If kids are in the picture you are not going to be able to provide the best for them. If you stay in this relationship  and his spending increases or even stays the same perhaps you should get familiar with some good second hand stores and thrift agencies. If the debt continues, you will not be able to provide for your kids. Going to McDonald's will be out of your budget because to feed 3 people you're spending over 20.00 for meals and a few hours later be hungry........ Hearing "would you like fries with that?" will be a distant memory.  If you need a car.....your credit will be so damaged that it would be impossible to get a car loan. Make sure you live in the city where you can take public transport.......but then again a monthy pass is expensive too! Being dishonest about spending your own money is one thing, but spending someone elses to the point of debt, loans, and creditor calls is stressful, depressing, and causes anxiety. My heart goes out to you. I hope that he will change his habits......other wise you are going to be in for a long, hard, bumpy road. I'm not trying to be mean in any way so please don't take this the wrong way, but in all seriousness please be careful and I strongly urge you to talk and discuss things in a civil manner with your husband, the one you fell in love with enough to marry.
