DEAR ABBY,
My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit card
bills. At the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me,
saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum,and let our kids worry
about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.
Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them
no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been
giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.
Also, he has gotten religious in a big way, although I don't quite
understand it. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people
who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ. And now he has been going to the gym an
awful lot and is into wearing uniforms and cowboy outfits, and I hate to think
what that means.
Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same
room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy!
Can you help?
Signed, Lost in DC
DEAR LOST:
Stop whining, Laura. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us
are stuck with the creep for four more years!
