My wife has developed an annoying habit of constantly repeating dates of appointments this happens several times a day. She also does the same with news reports from her mobile phone. I have recently had to pay out thousands of pounds (I live in the UK) for debts she ran up but had not paid. I have now frozen all her credit and debit cards. It’s very annoying but she can not help it because of this illness so I put up with it. We have been married 60 years the last few have been somewhat trying but she is my wife. Sivad

@sivad you’re a good person. I’m sure sorry for the financial disaster. My mom did the same to my stepdad. I’d warned him the year before to cancel her credit cards and access to the joint chequing account but he didn’t want to “rock the boat”. He regretted it when she maxed out their gold card.
Now, thankfully, he controls the farm income and she complains about having to pay for things from her old age pension.
You did the right thing.
In my case, my friend and housemate is not my husband or romantic partner so I have no control over anything. But so far, financially, he’s stable with the joint bills. Although he’s not so stable with his own money, but I can’t prevent that.
Best of luck and blessings to you!
