Hi ~ First of all, the fact that you cheated when you were DATING shouldn't be an issue anymore, because obviously he forgave you because you got married. He doesn't throw that in your face, does he? If he does, that's WRONG. That was BEFORE you got married, and that should have been put to rest.

Secondly, yes, you made some mistakes with the finances. You should have asked for help when you saw that you were in trouble. You should NOT have gotten into the savings!! But it's over and done, and now it's time to fix things. He's not fixing things by leaving at odd hours, and coming home late at night! He's just making things worse. They way I see it is he's "paying you back" for what YOU did, even before you got married!!! He wants you to see what it feels like to be cheated on so he's making you worry. That is really lousy, and a rotten thing to do. Like I said, you weren't even married then. Now, I might be totally WRONG about what he's doing but I don't think so.

Why not ask him if he'll go to couples counseling? It would do you both good, and get some of these issues out on the table. Then you could get them taken care of once and for all. The therapist will be the mediator! I hope you will. It could save the marriage. Best of luck and God bless. Let us know what happens, ok? We do care! Hugs, Lee
