1. The sound you are hearing is fear.
Sit him down with a multiple-step plan showing what you're going to do to solve the problem.

Hope it works out.

3. A couple of things.
1. The obvious...don't use the card.
2. Save your receipts and create a ledger to show your expenses with the card.

4. Sounds like you need seperate cards
It might help define who spends what. My guess is that your SO is angry at the situation more than at you even though it may not feel that way tonight.

6. I know how you're feeling.
The ex let our son run up a helluva bill on our credit card, but I was the one getting yelled at. Oh yeah.

9. He always likes to pay off the entire monthly bill, which is understandable
He says the bill this month is $3000. Yes, I do have some expenses on there, but most of them are GROCERIES. I also bought something on eBay which he okayed. It just annoys me that he can purchase any bloody thing he wants and I get yelled at for going to the grocery store one too many times.

Everything's okay now. I think if I ever got a job that would help. My fingers are crossed for the interview I had this week.

12. Sounds like he's tired of being the only one bringing money into the house to pay credit cards debt.

10. Sounds like you need to discuss the dreaded "B" word.........
Budget. If you guys develop a budget you will know WHO exceeded their planned spending and who is to blame. It would be funny to see him yell at himself!

11. Sounds like you should be yelling at him!
I would turn it around and put him in his place.
