I hope I didn't make a mistake...
I'm 27 and only been married 2 months. All of a sudden on thursday my husband's car was repossessed. He didn't even tell me he was behind on the payments! I'm so mad.. I don't know how I'll ever stop being mad at him. This is a really bad sign, right? No wonder so many marriages end because of finances. I'll have to bail his car out of car jail, of course. I shouldn't throw in the towel now, right?

1. Your husband might give you a better answer than..
strangers on the internet. Your marriage is fucking doomed if you can't talk to him about this.

2. I told you to keep seperate accounts and to make sure you keep
money aside and protected from any potential problems like this.

You MUST sit down and openly discuss ALL financial matters and make a cooperative budgeting plan. Decide WHO is in charge and if you're really smart, you'll put yourself in charge.

Men always want the female to take care of them, remember....

3. Oh my, what a situation to be in.
I'm sorry you're going through this. You need to sit down with him ASAP and talk this out. You may be able to salvage your marriage, but this is a major problem that you cannot ignore. And for god's sake, DO NOT become pregnant right now - bringing a child into this mess would only exacerbate the problems.

5. wow
1) Communication
2) No worries, it's okay to make a mistake. Don't mean to sound flip but it's important to know divorce is always an option.

6. Tell him this marriage will never work if he doesn't talk to you
about things like this. Bad news doesn't get better with age. Marriage is about getting through hard times together. I probably wouldn't leave him after this one issue, but that's me. You know the entire situation more than any of us.
