Depression

[fracster]

I am shocking with money. No if buts or maybes.
Wife is better, still a bit forgetful but since all bills are paid weekly by direct debit Its better.
As I mentioned in the other threads I needed to stop avoiding the situation.
Am I happy the wife found out? Not really. But I am sorta glad she did.

2014 is a new year.

Good man, now you two sort it out fella.Together, that is all that counts, she will help if you ask her.

Mate that last point you make about the wife , it is the dest thing thatn she knows. She sounds like one bloody good woman and she will be your closet support in this for you.

Talk to her and tell her your problems and together you will get through this mate. I have been with mine for over 20 year and in that time she has been my rock in some pretty shitty situations. Not saying it is easy or that telling someone your weaknesses is what you really want to do as I know for past experiences you feel pretty vulnerable.

You have some serious balls to openly say it here which I think is a massive credit to your commitment to address your problem and from the replies you have the mates here to also lend an ear over a beer.

Know you will beat this one with determination and am happy to chat anytime.

You'll be right Kallen it wont take too long for you to turn things around.
Maybe a place like budget busters on tv can set you on the right path,
Chin up mate I have faith that you and your wife will put this behind you.
Get a day job and use your business for as extra income for family projects.
Anyway PM anytime its a whole new year soon

Had some friends go to "My Budget" a couple of years ago to get them back on track. They were very impressed and thankful for the experience. It did not cost a great deal (would be pointless if it did) and really set them up. Don't hesitate Kallen, give them a call and find out what they can do for you mate.

Good luck n 2014.

Its been a bit busy with the holiday season at our place, so I haven't had an opportunity to reply here.

ET my best wishes to you, such an awful thing to deal with. Seeing you back here is a sign you are better able to deal with it. Our condolences go out to you from us here mate.

Westy, I can only hope you can improve your precious personal relationship and be honest with yourself about the issues you described. Its an easy trap to spend what you shouldn't, I've done it too. And she still doesn't know, or as she says doesn't want to know. You have actually given me a kick in the backside... I think I'm grateful???

This thread is not what I would expect on a motoring forum, but it is here and it looks like it does some good. Some well thought out and written responses from Cuppa and others say it for most of us me included. Thanks to those people.

Good to see you back ET and Fruity too.

@ Westy.
I think we would all be guilty of keeping some sort of secret from our partners at some stage, the longer we get away with it the easier it becomes to do as well, but the worse it makes things when they find out in most cases. I take my hat off to you for being able to publicly come out and admit your faults in such a way, it's a sign that you are willing to commit to making a change. In some cases it's not only what you have done but how you handle things after you have been found out that proves what kind of person you are. I am sure you will come out on top and hopefully your relationship is that much stronger for it.

@ E.T
I can't imagine how it would feel to lose a life long partner. My condolences go out to you. Try and surround yourself with ppl that are able to lift your mood and spirit and always remember the good times you both had together. Also remember that there is plenty of ppl on here willing to have a good ear bashing and don't hesitate to yell out if you need one to bash. May 2014 be a good year for you and everyone else on here.
