and found out that financially it wasnt working out because he/she has bad credit and is in debt and his/her past is affecting everything in your life now....would you divorce or stick it out?

Humm I'm one that ask a lot of questions think I would know that before the I do's are said.

But if I loved them enough to say I Do then anything can be worked out if you really want too.bigsmile

Um I would have known that fact long before walking down the aisle!

Money is not everything at all, but being financially responsible is a requirement when in a relationship!
The paycheck can be $150 a week or $2,000 a week, but being responsible and having shared financial goals is a must for me!

I have shoddy credit, but I wouldn't put it in a position to affect anyone else but me. I'm in the process of getting my credit back to nothing instead of negative, rather have none than negative.

Thats where a long engagement with a lot of talking comes in....

(PS: what if the man got in financial difficulties due to a PREVIOUS marriage? Heheh)

Shouldn't this person have figured this out beforehand? Not too hard to tell. Collection services calling and stuff.

stick it out - hardship is coming for a lot of people - doesn't mean they should seperate

Ah, but don't forget, all it takes to totally screw your credit over is one bad accident with medical bills or your job downsized and you no longer make what you did. The house payment continuing to increase to where you couldn't pay your bills and your house payment.

You have to find out more about what happened to put the person in that situation.

Like a few others said, I'd know BEFORE I got married, I don't jump into that... I dated my ex for 4 years before we got married.

When we were living together he got a few collections calls, and I kept saying "did you pay that" and he said "yes" one day I found the bills in the enveloped in his car, with stamps on them even...

I took care of the finances from that point on.

Stick it out, I know thats rare these days, financial status of someone you love should make no difference!!
