Bills are one of my triggers. It's funny - I didn't used to even pay attention to them and left everything up to my husband; but the fear from ptsd has had me paying more attention the last few months or so, and they're a big cause of my anxiety now. So my husband took half a day off work yesterday to go pay the tax on his truck. I went with him. While there he asked about our property tax - or real estate - I'm not sure. I don't know much about any of this. We hadn't paid 2013's yet. So they gave him a printout of what we owe. My dad says the deadline was April, and our names will be printed in the paper for not having paid it yet if we don't pay it soon. It's not a totally grand amount, and we have money now to pay half of it. The thing is, my husband still doesn't seem adamant about paying it soon. I'm wanting to get it paid right away and am totally stressing about it and what-if-ing things like what if they take our house away, etc. Dad didn't help by saying they'd have it up for sale on the courthouse steps, but I think they give you at least a couple years. But that sent waves of panic through me and has just had me a wreck inside since. We just got this house a few months ago - lost the other from fire. I'm not ready to lose another one!! I'm willing to take this first half of the payment to the courthouse while my husband is at work. It bothers me that he doesn't seem in a hurry to get this paid. I don't want to completely take over the bills and the money he works for and feel I'm being bossy, but this feels important to me. I'm just not sure how to handle this and want it done and out of the way.
